[PATCH 1/1] spi: imx: Update device tree binding documentation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Update documentation for gpio-cs and num-cs to reflect the standard SPI
bindings.

The dma properties are optional.

Include a warning that native CS do not work in a commonly useful manner
with this hardware/driver, and therefor most users probably should use GPIO
based CS lines rather than native.

 - interrupts : Should contain CSPI/eCSPI interrupt
-- cs-gpios : Specifies the gpio pins to be used for chipselects.

-- fsl,spi-num-chipselects : Contains the number of the chipselect
+Recommended properties:
+- cs-gpios : GPIOs to use as chip selects, see spi-bus.txt.  While the native chip
+select lines can be used, they appear to always generate a pulse between each
+word of a transfer.  Most use cases will require GPIO based chip selects to
+generate a valid transaction.
 
 Optional properties:
+- num-cs :  Number of total chip selects, see spi-bus.txt.
+- dmas: DMA specifiers for tx and rx dma. See the DMA client binding,
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/dma/dma.txt.
+- dma-names: DMA request names, if present, should include "tx" and "rx".
 - fsl,spi-rdy-drctl: Integer, representing the value of DRCTL, the register
 controlling the SPI_READY handling. Note that to enable the DRCTL consideration,
 the SPI_READY mode-flag needs to be set too.
 Valid values are: 0 (disabled), 1 (edge-triggered burst) and 2 (level-triggered burst).
 
+Obsolete properties:
