Changes in v2
=============
1. Hopefully incorporate entire feedback from comments:

+=====================================
+Devicetree Sources (DTS) Coding Style
+=====================================
+
+When writing Devicetree Sources (DTS) please observe below guidelines. They
+should be considered complementary to any rules expressed already in Devicetree
+Specification and dtc compiler (including W=1 and W=2 builds).
+
+Individual architectures and sub-architectures can add additional rules, making
+the style stricter.
+
+Naming and Valid Characters
+---------------------------
+
+1. Node and property names are allowed to use only:
+
+ * lowercase characters: [a-z]
+ * digits: [0-9]
+ * dash: -
+
+2. Labels are allowed to use only:
+
+ * lowercase characters: [a-z]
+ * digits: [0-9]
+ * underscore: _
+
+3. Unit addresses should use lowercase hex, without leading zeros (padding).
This is imperative, so: s/should/shall/g
+
+4. Hex values in properties, e.g. "reg", should use lowercase hex. The address
+ part can be padded with leading zeros.
+
Same here, I'd say.... :-)
+Example::
+
+ gpi_dma2: dma-controller@800000 {
+ compatible = "qcom,sm8550-gpi-dma", "qcom,sm6350-gpi-dma";
+ reg = <0x0 0x00800000 0x0 0x60000>;
+ }
+
+Order of Nodes
+--------------
+
+1. Nodes within any bus, thus using unit addresses for children, shall be
+ ordered incrementally by unit address.
+ Alternatively for some sub-architectures, nodes of the same type can be
+ grouped together (e.g. all I2C controllers one after another even if this
+ breaks unit address ordering).
+
+2. Nodes without unit addresses should be ordered alpha-numerically by the node
+ name. For a few types of nodes, they can be ordered by the main property
+ (e.g. pin configuration states ordered by value of "pins" property).
+
+3. When extending nodes in the board DTS via &label, the entries should be
+ ordered alpha-numerically.
+
+Example::
+
Hmm, comments!
+ // SoC DTSI
....speaking of commenting, should we at least suggest to use C-style comments?
/* SoC DTSI */
+
+ / {
+ cpus {
+ // ...
+ };
+
+ psci {
+ // ...
+ };
+
+ soc@ {
+ dma: dma-controller@10000 {
+ // ...
+ };
+
+ clk: clock-controller@80000 {
+ // ...
+ };
+ };
+ };
+
+ // Board DTS
+
+ &clk {
+ // ...
+ };
+
+ &dma {
+ // ...
+ };
+
+
+Order of Properties in Device Node
+----------------------------------
+
+Following order of properties in device nodes is preferred:
+
+1. compatible
+2. reg
+3. ranges
+4. Standard/common properties (defined by common bindings, e.g. without
+ vendor-prefixes)
+5. Vendor-specific properties
+6. status (if applicable)
+7. Child nodes, where each node is preceded with a blank line
+
+The "status" property is by default "okay", thus it can be omitted.
+
+Example::
+
+ // SoC DTSI
+
+ usb_1_hsphy: phy@88e3000 {
+ compatible = "qcom,sm8550-snps-eusb2-phy";
+ reg = <0x0 0x088e3000 0x0 0x154>;
+ #phy-cells = <0>;
+ resets = <&gcc GCC_QUSB2PHY_PRIM_BCR>;
+ status = "disabled";
+ };
Since this describes vendor-specific properties and vendor prefixes as well
as standard properties, I think it would be clearer if we use something more
complex that actually contains those as an example.
There's a few. One is MediaTek:
vdo1_rdma0: dma-controller@1c104000 {
compatible = "mediatek,mt8195-vdo1-rdma";
reg = <0 0x1c104000 0 0x1000>;
#dma-cells = <1>;
clocks = <&vdosys1 CLK_VDO1_MDP_RDMA0>;
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 495 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH 0>;
iommus = <&iommu_vdo M4U_PORT_L2_MDP_RDMA0>;
power-domains = <&spm MT8195_POWER_DOMAIN_VDOSYS1>;
mediatek,gce-client-reg = <&gce0 SUBSYS_1c10XXXX 0x4000 0x1000>;
};
...or other one can be nVidia:
mipi: mipi@700e3000 {
compatible = "nvidia,tegra210-mipi";
reg = <0x0 0x700e3000 0x0 0x100>;
clocks = <&tegra_car TEGRA210_CLK_MIPI_CAL>;
clock-names = "mipi-cal";
power-domains = <&pd_sor>;
#nvidia,mipi-calibrate-cells = <1>;
};
...or we could make an example out of fantasy, which could work even better
as far as describing goes.
/* SoC DTSI */
device_node: device-class@6789abc {
compatible = "vendor,device";
reg = <0 0x06789abc 0 0xa123>;
ranges = <0 0 0x6789abc 0x1000>;
#dma-cells = <1>;
clocks = <&clock_controller SOC_CLOCK>;
clock-names = "dev-clk";
#vendor,custom-cells = <2>;
status = "disabled";
child_node: child-class@100 {
reg = <0x100 0x200>;
/* ... */
};
};
/* Board DTS */
&device_node {
device-supply = <&board_vreg1>;
status = "okay";
}
+
+ // Board DTS
+
+ &usb_1_hsphy {
+ clocks = <&tcsr TCSR_USB2_CLKREF_EN>;
+ clock-names = "ref";
+ status = "okay";
+ };
+
+
+Indentation
+-----------
+
+1. Use indentation according to :ref:`codingstyle`.
+2. For arrays spanning across lines, it is preferred to align the continued
+ entries with opening < from the first line.
+3. Each entry in arrays with multiple cells (e.g. "reg" with two IO addresses)
+ should be enclosed in <>.
+
+Example::
+
+ thermal-sensor@c271000 {
+ compatible = "qcom,sm8550-tsens", "qcom,tsens-v2";
+ reg = <0x0 0x0c271000 0x0 0x1000>,
+ <0x0 0x0c222000 0x0 0x1000>;
+ };
+
+Organizing DTSI and DTS
+-----------------------
+
+The DTSI and DTS files should be organized in a way representing the common
+(and re-usable) parts of the hardware. Typically this means organizing DTSI
^^^^
There's a double space here, it was probably unintentional.
Cheers,
Angelo
+and DTS files into several files:
+
+1. DTSI with contents of the entire SoC (without nodes for hardware not present
+ on the SoC).
+2. If applicable: DTSI with common or re-usable parts of the hardware (e.g.
+ entire System-on-Module).
+3. DTS representing the board.
+
+Hardware components which are present on the board should be placed in the
+board DTS, not in the SoC or SoM DTSI. A partial exception is a common
+external reference SoC-input clock, which could be coded as a fixed-clock in
+the SoC DTSI with its frequency provided by each board DTS.
