[RFC PATCH v3] dt-bindings: net: New binding mctp-i2c-controller

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Used to define a local endpoint to communicate with MCTP peripherals
attached to an I2C bus. This I2C endpoint can communicate with remote
MCTP devices on the I2C bus.

In the example I2C topology below (matching the second yaml example) we
have MCTP devices on busses i2c1 and i2c6. MCTP-supporting busses are
indicated by the 'mctp-controller' DT property on an I2C bus node.

A mctp-i2c-controller I2C client DT node is placed at the top of the
mux topology, since only the root I2C adapter will support I2C slave
functionality.

(mctpX boxes above are remote MCTP devices not included in the DT at
present, they can be hotplugged/probed at runtime. A DT binding for
specific fixed MCTP devices could be added later if required)

Compared to v2 this patch changes the MCTP indicator to being a property
on the I2C bus node.
(Previous patches went only to DT list, I've now CCed linux-i2c)

Wolfram does this look OK to you?

Thanks,
Matt

+description:
+  An mctp-i2c-controller defines a local MCTP endpoint on an I2C
+  controller. MCTP I2C is specified by DMTF DSP0237.
+
+  An mctp-i2c-controller must be attached to an I2C adapter
+  which supports slave functionality. I2C busses (either directly or as
+  subordinate mux busses) are attached to the mctp-i2c-controller with
+  a 'mctp-controller' property on each used bus. Each mctp-controller I2C bus
+  will be presented to the host system as a separate MCTP I2C instance.
+
+properties:
+  compatible:
+    const: mctp-i2c-controller

+    # 1<<30
+    minimum: 1073741824

+    description:
+      7 bit I2C address of the local endpoint.
