This patch introduces bindings for TCM memory address space on AMD-xilinx
platforms. As of now TCM addresses are hardcoded in xilinx remoteproc
driver. This bindings will help in defining TCM in device-tree and
make it's access platform agnostic and data-driven from the driver.

+description: |
+ Tightly Coupled Memory(TCM) is available on AMD-Xilinx paltforms for ARM
+ cortex remote processors to use. It is low-latency memory that provide
+ predictable instruction execution and predictable data load/store timing.
+ TCM can be configured in lockstep mode or split mode. In split mode
+ configuration each RPU core has its own set of ATCM and BTCM memories and in
+ lockstep mode redundant processor's TCM become available to lockstep
+ processor. So In lockstep mode ATCM and BTCM size is increased.

Drop node name requirement.
Why do you need sram node at all?
I will remove sram- node. However, it device-tree I was planning to put
all TCM nodes under single node for example:
tcm {
tcm-lockstep {
};
tcm-core@0 {
Mix of nodes with and without unit address is pointing to some design
issues.
The design currently tries to accommodate physical relocation of the
memory. May be there is another way to represent this.
Here is address space of TCM memory on zynqmp platform:
https://docs.xilinx.com/r/en-US/ug1085-zynq-ultrascale-trm/Tightly-Coupled-Memory-Address-Map
As per above address map, there are 4 TCM banks, each 64KB ( 0x10000 )
size at following addresses:
*In split mode*:
ATCM0: 0xFFE00000---|---> Assigned to RPU core0
BTCM0: 0xFFE20000---|
ATCM1: 0xFFE90000---|---> Assigned to RPU 1
BTCM1: 0xFFEB0000---|
However, In lockstep mode, ATCM1 and BTCM1 relocates to different
addresses (i.e. 0xFFE10000 and 0xFFE30000 respectively)
and becomes available for RPU core 0:
*In lockstep mode Both used by RPU core 0*:
ATCM0: 0xFFE00000-----|
|----> ATCM: 0xFFE00000 size:
128KB
ATCM1: 0xFFE10000-----|
BTCM0: 0xFFE20000-----|
|----> BTCM: 0xFFE20000 size:
128KB
BTCM1: 0xFFE30000-----|
I am not sure how to represent this physical relocation of addresses in
device-tree.
Ideally such sram nodes can be represented as following:
[1] Representation of TCM in split mode:
[ a|b ]tcm[ 0|1 ] {
compatible = "xlnx,zynqmp-tcm";
reg <>;
ranges <>;
power-domain: (only 1 power domain for current bank)
}
However, to represent TCM in lockstep mode as well, I might have to add
platform specific optional reg and ranges property which optionally
represent address space of lockstep mode for atcm and btcm.
For example, ATCM0 and BTCM0 will be represented as above [1] However,
ATCM1 and BTCM1 will have following extra properties:
[a|b]tcm1 {
compatible = "xlnx,zynqmp-tcm";
reg <>;
lockstep-reg <>; /* represent address space of this bank in
lockstep mode */
ranges <>;
lockstep-ranges <>; /* represent address space ranges of this bank
in lockstep mode */
power-domain: (only 1 power domain for current bank)
};
Does above approach looks good? If some other standard way is already
available to represent this could you please suggest?
Thanks,
Tanmay

The top-most tcm node I assumed sram node. So I kept sram@xxxx

I see. So, only xlnx,tcm is enough.
No, it must be specific to SoC.
Ok. Then xlnx,zynqmp-tcm. I will change file name accordingly as well.

And what are the rest?
As both items are list, we should be able to include more than one
power-domain I believe.
So first item I am trying to create list of ATCM power domains.
In split mode, first item is ATCM power-domain and second item is BTCM
power domain.
However, In lockstep mode, second core's TCM physically relocates and
two ATCM combines and

makes single region of ATCM. However, their power-domains remains same.
So, In lockstep mode, first two banks are ATCM and so, first two items
are ATCM power-domains.
I am not sure best way to represent this. But, first itmes is list.
So, I am assuming list of all ATCM power-domains possible.
List all items. Order is fixed, you cannot say BTCM is second item and
then put here something else.
