[PATCH v10 2/3] Documentation: devicetree: Add new binding for PSCIv0.2

Ashwin Chaugule ashwin.chaugule at linaro.org
Wed May 14 21:11:29 PDT 2014


The PSCI v0.2+ spec defines standard values for PSCI function IDs.
Add a new binding entry so that pre v0.2 implementations can
use DT entries for function IDs and v0.2+ implementations use
standard entries as defined by the PSCIv0.2 specification.
