Thu Aug 15 05:42:22 EDT 2013
In order to extend the current cpu nodes bindings to newer CPUs
inclusive of AArch64 and to update support for older ARM CPUs this
patch updates device tree documentation for the cpu nodes bindings.
Main changes:
- adds 64-bit bindings
- define usage of #address-cells
- defines behaviour on pre and post v7 uniprocessor systems
- adds ARM 11MPcore specific reg property definition

-* ARM CPUs binding description
+=================
+ARM CPUs bindings
+=================
The device tree allows to describe the layout of CPUs in a system through
the "cpus" node, which in turn contains a number of subnodes (ie "cpu")
defining properties for every cpu.
-Bindings for CPU nodes follow the ePAPR standard, available from:
-
-http://devicetree.org
-
-For the ARM architecture every CPU node must contain the following properties:
-
-- device_type: must be "cpu"
-- reg: property matching the CPU MPIDR[23:0] register bits
- reg[31:24] bits must be set to 0
-- compatible: should be one of:
- "arm,arm1020"
- "arm,arm1020e"
- "arm,arm1022"
- "arm,arm1026"
- "arm,arm720"
- "arm,arm740"
- "arm,arm7tdmi"
- "arm,arm920"
- "arm,arm922"
- "arm,arm925"
- "arm,arm926"
- "arm,arm940"
- "arm,arm946"
- "arm,arm9tdmi"
- "arm,cortex-a5"
- "arm,cortex-a7"
- "arm,cortex-a8"
- "arm,cortex-a9"
- "arm,cortex-a15"
- "arm,arm1136"
- "arm,arm1156"
- "arm,arm1176"
- "arm,arm11mpcore"
- "faraday,fa526"
- "intel,sa110"

- "marvell,feroceon"

-Example:
+Bindings for CPU nodes follow the ePAPR v1.1 standard, available from:
+
+https://www.power.org/documentation/epapr-version-1-1/
+
+with updates for 32-bit and 64-bit ARM systems provided in this document.
+
+================================
+Convention used in this document
+================================
+
+This document follows the conventions described in the ePAPR v1.1, with
+the addition:
+
+- square brackets define bitfields, eg reg[7:0] value of the bitfield in
+ the reg property contained in bits 7 down to 0
+
+=====================================
+cpus and cpu node bindings definition
+=====================================
+
+The ARM architecture, in accordance with the ePAPR, requires the cpus and cpu
+nodes to be present and contain the properties described below.
+
+- cpus node
+
+ Description: Container of cpu nodes
+
+ The node name must be "cpus".
+
+ A cpus node must define the following properties:
+
+ - #address-cells
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <u32>
+
+ Definition depends on ARM architecture version and
+ configuration:
+
+ # On uniprocessor ARM architectures previous to v7
+ value must be 0, since they have no register
+ providing CPU identification.
+ # On 32-bit ARM 11 MPcore, ARM v7 or later systems
+ value must be 1, that corresponds to CPUID/MPIDR
+ registers sizes.
+ # On ARM v8 64-bit systems value must be set to 2,
+ that corresponds to the MPIDR_EL1 register size.
+
+ - #size-cells
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <u32>
+ Definition: must be set to 0
+
+- cpu node
+
+ Description: Describes a CPU in an ARM based system
+
+ PROPERTIES
+
+ - device_type
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <string>
+ Definition: must be "cpu"
+ - reg
+ Usage and definition depend on ARM architecture version and
+ configuration:
+
+ # On uniprocessor ARM architectures previous to v7
+ this property is optional since they do not define
+ any register that provides a CPU identifier.
+ Any value set in the reg property for these CPUs
+ should be ignored.
+
+ # On ARM 11 MPcore based systems this property is
+ required and matches the CPUID[11:0] register bits.
+
+ Bits [11:0] in the reg cell must be set to
+ bits [11:0] in CPU ID register.
+
+ All other bits in the reg cell must be set to 0.
+
+ # On 32-bit ARM v7 or later systems this property is
+ required and matches the CPU MPIDR[23:0] register
+ bits.
+
+ Bits [23:0] in the reg cell must be set to
+ bits [23:0] in MPIDR.
+
+ All other bits in the reg cell must be set to 0.
+
+ # On ARM v8 64-bit systems this property is required
+ and matches the MPIDR_EL1 register affinity bits:
+
+ The first reg cell bits [7:0] must be set to
+ bits [39:32] of MPIDR_EL1.
+
+ The second reg cell bits [23:0] must be set to
+ bits [23:0] of MPIDR_EL1.
+
+ All other bits in the reg cells must be set to 0.
+
+ - compatible:

+ Value type: <string>
