Hi,
this is an RFC for an mfd device introduced here [1]. I didn't got much
response, except from Stephen, but that bothered me enough already ;-)
I'm going describe the hw again shortly, for a more complete description, see
[1]. What we have here is an EC which communicates to the host cpu (NVIDIA
Tegra) via I2C. The unusual part is that the EC is I2C master while the host
cpu is the slave. The EC has several ports to connect peripherals like
keyboard, mouse, ... and also to control some system states (suspend, low bat,
power key, ...). Ok, so much for the hardware description, now the binding. I
think I integrated all comments made by Stephen in [2].
i2c-slave@7000c500 {
compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-i2c-slave", "simple-bus";
reg = <0x7000c500 0x100>;
interrupts = <0 92 0x04>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
clock-frequency = <80000>;
clocks = <&tegra_car 67>, <&tegra_car 124>;
clock-names = "div-clk", "fast-clk";
nvec@87 {
compatible = "nvidia,nvec", "simple-bus";
reg = <0x87>;
request-gpios = <&gpio 170 0>; /* gpio PV2 */
keyboard {
compatible = "nvidia,nvec-keyboard";
...
<insert key mappings here>
...
};
ps2 {
compatible = "nvidia,nvec-ps2";
packet-size = 6; /* for the ac100 tp */
};
events {
compatible = "nvidia,nvec-events";
...
<add some system events here,
e.g. lid switch, power button>
...
};
charger: ac {
compatible = "nvidia,nvec-ac";
};
battery {
compatible = "nvidia,nvec-battery";
charger = <&charger>;
};
oem {
compatible = "compal,nvec-paz00";
/* ac100 specific extentions to the protocol */
};
};
};
For multi-slave capable SoCs, there can be more than one master connected to
the i2c slave controller of the host cpu. Therefore I added "simple-bus"
property here. Does "simple-bus" imply bus addresses? The EC registers with
the slave controller by supplying the protocol (e.g. smbus or i2c) and an
optional gpio.
I left out the binding description for now because the properties are pretty
much self-describing. The current driver is in staging so everything is still
in flux.
