[PATCH v2 1/7] dt-bindings: mfd: Describe the BCM6846 PMC complex

Linus Walleij linusw at kernel.org
Sun Nov 1 14:14:34 PST 2026


The third generation Power Management Controller (PMC3) has
different subdevices.

Identify the parent with the BCM6846-specific "brcm,bcm6846-pmc"
compatible.

Describe the complex as a simple-mfd with a PMB bus child owning its
register resource. Include the PMB clock and reset controllers and
PVTMON, with its acquisition clock and reset resources.

+description:
+  The third generation Power Management Controller (PMC3) contains several
+  register banks. This binding describes the Processor Monitor Bus (PMB)
+  interface within Procmon. The PMB child owns its register bank. The parent
+  provides address translation and does not own a register bank.
