How is it a physical address on an i2c device? Why 2 cells (which needs
to be documented also)?
To be clear, as I understand it, this mechanism is a hand off from the
boot firmware to Linux.
The boot firmware talks i2c to the device, does some stuff, writes it
to memory and then linux reads that stuff. I agree it seems crazy to
include a random physical address like that.
The linux,sml-* names appear to have been used by IBM for a long time
on their enterprise PPC platforms (see drivers/char/tpm/tpm_of.c), so
I've expected we have to keep them?
I asked Nayna to document this stuff IBM is doing so the rest of us
in TPM land can have a hope of maintaining it...
Thanks Jason !!
In my v2 version for device tree documentation, I have posted the
documentation for both vtpm and physical TPM.
