This patch updates the mtk,scp dt-binding schema to support MT8188's
requirement for 1-2 memory regions while maintaining strict backward
compatibility for other MediaTek SoCs.
The MT8188 SCP requires a main SRAM region and optionally supports an
L1TCM (Level 1 Tightly Coupled Memory) region for performance
optimization. L1TCM is optional because basic SCP functionality works
with only SRAM, but L1TCM provides faster memory access when the board
hardware configuration includes it.
The base schema uses minItems: 1, maxItems: 2 (permissive range),
following the pattern established in other MediaTek dt-bindings like
mediatek,vcodec-encoder.yaml where the base accommodates all variants.
Conditionals then narrow the constraints per device.
Changes in v4:
- Improved commit message clarity per kernel submission guidelines:
* Added bullet-point explanation of the two memory regions
* Explained WHY L1TCM is optional (performance optimization, not
required for basic functionality)
* Explicitly listed which SoCs remain single-region
* Clarified the two-conditional approach
* Explained how minItems: 1 allows board-specific configuration
- Cover letter updated to explain L1TCM optional reasoning
Changes in v3:
- Removed "Tested on..." line (bindings cannot be tested)
- Added minItems: 1 to MT8188 conditional to make L1TCM truly optional
- Referenced mediatek,vcodec-encoder.yaml iommus pattern explicitly
- Base schema: minItems: 1, maxItems: 2 (permissive range)
- Non-MT8188: explicitly restricted to maxItems: 1
- MT8188: documented with item descriptions for both regions
Changes in v2:
- Added conditional schema for MT8188 to allow 1-2 memory regions
- Added descriptions for each memory region
- Did not work: base maxItems: 1 conflicted with conditional
