The EBI (External Bus Interface) is used to access external peripherals (NOR, SRAM, NAND, and other specific devices like ethernet controllers). Each device is assigned a CS line and an address range and can have its own configuration (timings, access mode, bus width, ...). This driver provides a generic DT binding to configure a device according to its requirements. For specific device controllers (like the NAND one) the SMC timings should be configured by the controller driver through the matrix and smc syscon regmaps. The first 4 patches introduce 2 syscon devices needed to configure the EBI bus, patch 5 and 6 adds support for the EBI bus, and the remaining patches declares the EBI related nodes in sama5d3 dts[i] files. The converters approach I suggested to Jean-Jacques has been dropped and only SMC specific timing properties are supported. Arnd, you've commented the first version of this driver (IIRC, you focused on the DT binding part), could you give your feedback on this version (I based the new DT binding on TI's aemif driver).
