Describe cpm reg property before cfg reg property to align with

The order is an ABI. If breaking it is okay, explain why here.
I didn't push any description for versal to upstream u-boot or linux yet but
xilinx is using this order for years. DT binding order wasn't aligned to it.
For example: (Xilinx Linux is in sync with this).
https://github.com/Xilinx/u-boot-xlnx/blob/master/arch/arm/dts/versal.dtsi
Good to know, but if there are upstream dts files, what do they use?
I didn't push any versal DTs. But origin source are my xilinx repos where we
have this order:
reg = <0x0 0xfca10000 0x0 0x1000>, <0x6 0x00000000 0x0 0x1000000>;
Driver itself is working with reg-names and order of regs doesn't matter. It
means changed order doesn't break any functionality.
While in general I consider the order part of the ABI, if that's
enough to avoid breakage on anything you care about, then just state
that.
right.
Right now reg order really matter in binding doc but would be good in these
examples to record that both ways are fine.
Would it be better to describe that both ways are fine?
Only if that's what you need. If you are fine with the order changing,
then make the change and fix all the dts files.
I structure DT files in a way that we have versal.dtsi as description for all
fixed peripherals. All platforms, boards are just sourcing it. That's why change
is simple but this issue is really just in dt binding doc than our dts file
which all uses order mentioned above.
reg-names:
oneOf:
- items:
- const: cfg
- const: cpm_slcr
- items:
- const: cpm_slcr
- const: cfg
Another small reason is that all hard IPs in Versal are normally placed below
4GB address range. And there are some others which also have mapping above. This
is one of that example and we normally aligned with 32bit address.
And the biggest reason is that current node name is pcie@fca10000 which should
be aligned with the first register base which is before this patch 0x600000000
but name suggest that the first reg should be cpm_slcr instead of cfg. That's
why I consider this patch as a fix and the patch should contain fixed tag.
I don't disagree. I'm only asking for a better commit message.
Great.
Bharat: Please update commit message and sent new version.
Thanks,
Michal
