The context for v5's discussion is now harder to find. Please avoid sending a new version without properly discussing all the feedback, and without reaching consensus. This is very important, please keep it in mind. Specifically, the feedback on v5 was NAK, with the request to avoid using any async framework, and instead try to find a simpler solution. For instance, you can model things with a bus-like pattern, which ties all the devices together, under a parent node. This pattern is common in the kernel, the parent node can use of_platform_populate or similar (git grep of_platform_populate, you will see plenty of examples). You will still have to do some work to have the proper regs resources, but this is doable. Each child is a device, so it can have its own resources (clocks, interrupts, iommus). You don't need any async framework. vcodec_dec: vcodec_dec@16000000 { compatible = "mediatek,mt8192-vcodec-dec"; reg = <something>; mediatek,scp = <&scp>; iommus = <&iommu0 M4U_PORT_L4_VDEC_MC_EXT>; dma-ranges = <0x1 0x0 0x0 0x40000000 0x0 0xfff00000>; vcodec_lat@0x10000 { compatible = "mediatek,mtk-vcodec-lat"; reg = <0x10000 0x800>; /* VDEC_MISC */ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 426 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH 0>; // etc }; vcodec_core@0x25000 { compatible = "mediatek,mtk-vcodec-core"; reg = <0x25000 0x1000>; /* VDEC_CORE_MISC */ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 425 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH 0>; // etc }; }; Thanks, Ezequiel
