A framer is a component in charge of an E1/T1 line interface. Is is connected to the TDM bus and it converts TDM frames to/from E1/T1 frames. The HDLC data are sent/received to/from the TDM bus and the framer is used to get information about the E1/T1 line such as link up/down. I can update the description to: --- 8< --- phandle to the framer node. The framer is in charge of an E1/T1 line interface connected to the TDM bus. It can be used to get the E1/T1 line status such as link up/down. --- 8< --- Is that better ? > > > + > > +required: > > + - compatible > > + - fsl,qmc-chan > > + > > +additionalProperties: false > > + > > +examples: > > + - | > > + hdlc { > > + compatible = "fsl,qmc-hdlc"; > > + fsl,qmc-chan = <&qmc 16>; > > Where does this node live? > > QMC is this[1]? Why don't you just add the compatible to channel@10 in > the QMC node? Indeed, I will move the properties (compatible and framer phandle) to the QMC channel node. > > Rob > > [1] Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/fsl/cpm_qe/fsl,cpm1-scc-qmc.yaml Best regards, Hervé -- Hervé Codina, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
