+Domain Device Tree Bindings
+---------------------------
+
+The OpenSBI domains can be described in the **device tree (DT) blob** (or
+flattened device tree) passed to the OpenSBI firmwares by the previous
+booting stage. This allows OpenSBI platform support to parse and populate
+OpenSBI domains from the device tree blob (or flattened device tree).
+
+### Domain Configuration Node
+
+All OpenSBI domain description related DT nodes should be under the domain
+configuration DT node. The **/chosen** DT node is the preferred parent of
+the domain configuration DT node.
+
+The DT properties of a domain configuration DT node are as follows:
+
+* **compatible** (Mandatory) - The compatible string of the domain
+  configuration. This DT property should have value *"opensbi,domain,config"*
+
+### Domain Memory Region Node
+
+The domain memory region DT node describes details of a memory region and
+can be pointed by multiple domain instance DT nodes. The access permissions
+of the memory region are specified separately in domain instance node.
+
+The DT properties of a domain memory region DT node are as follows:
+
+* **compatible** (Mandatory) - The compatible string of the domain memory
+  region. This DT property should have value *"opensbi,domain,memregion"*
+* **base** (Mandatory) - The base address of the domain memory region. This
+  DT property should have a **2 ^ order** aligned 64 bit address (i.e. two
+  DT cells).
+* **order** (Mandatory) - The order of the domain memory region. This DT
+  property should have a 32 bit value (i.e. one DT cell) in the range
+  **3 <= order <= __riscv_xlen**.
+* **mmio** (Optional) - A boolean flag representing whether the domain
+  memory region is a memory-mapped I/O (MMIO) region.
+* **devices** (Optional) - The list of device DT node phandles for devices
+  which fall under this domain memory region.
+
+### Domain Instance Node
+
+The domain instance DT node describes set of possible HARTs, set of memory
+regions, and other details of a domain instance.
+
+The DT properties of a domain instance DT node are as follows:
+
+* **compatible** (Mandatory) - The compatible string of the domain instance.
+  This DT property should have value *"opensbi,domain,instance"*
+* **possible-harts** (Optional) - The list of CPU DT node phandles for the
+  the domain instance. This list represents the possible HARTs of the
+  domain instance.
+* **regions** (Optional) - The list of domain memory region DT node phandle
+  and access permissions for the domain instance. Each list entry is a pair
+  of DT node phandle and access permissions. The access permissions are
+  represented as a 32bit bitmask having bits: **readable** (BIT[0]),
+  **writeable** (BIT[1]), **executable** (BIT[2]), and **m-mode** (BIT[3]).
+* **boot-hart** (Optional) - The DT node phandle of the HART booting the
+  domain instance. If coldboot HART is assigned to the domain instance then
+  this DT property is ignored and the coldboot HART is assumed to be the
+  boot HART of the domain instance.
+* **next-arg1** (Optional) - The 64 bit next booting stage arg1 for the
+  domain instance. If this DT property is not available and coldboot HART
+  is not assigned to the domain instance then **0x0** is used as default
+  value. If this DT property is not available and coldboot HART is assigned
+  to the domain instance then **next booting stage arg1 of coldboot HART**
+  is used as default value.
+* **next-addr** (Optional) - The 64 bit next booting stage address for the
+  domain instance. If this DT property is not available and coldboot HART
+  is not assigned to the domain instance then **0x0** is used as default
+  value. If this DT property is not available and coldboot HART is assigned
+  to the domain instance then **next booting stage address of coldboot HART**
+  is used as default value.
+* **next-mode** (Optional) - The 32 bit next booting stage mode for the
+  domain instance. The possible values of this DT property are: **0x1**
+  (s-mode), and **0x0** (u-mode). If this DT property is not available
+  and coldboot HART is not assigned to the domain instance then **0x1**
+  is used as default value. If this DT property is not available and
+  coldboot HART is assigned to the domain instance then **next booting
+  stage mode of coldboot HART** is used as default value.
+* **system-reset-allowed** (Optional) - A boolean flag representing
+  whether the domain instance is allowed to do system reset.
+
+### Assigning HART To Domain Instance
+
+By default, all HARTs are assigned to **the ROOT domain**. The OpenSBI
+platform support can provide the HART to domain instance assignment using
+platform specific callback.
+
+The HART to domain instance assignment can be parsed from the device tree
+using optional DT property **opensbi,domain** in each CPU DT node. The
+value of DT property **opensbi,domain** is the DT phandle of the domain
+instance DT node. If **opensbi,domain** DT property is not specified then
+corresponding HART is assigned to **the ROOT domain**.
+
+### Domain Configuration Only Accessible to OpenSBI
+
+The software running inside a domain instance should only be aware of
+devices and hardware resources accessible to itself.
+
+To hide domain configuration from domain instances, the following should
+be done:
+
+* The previous booting stage should preferably provide a separate device
+  tree for each domain instance and mention location of device tree in
+  respective domain instance DT nodes using **next-arg1** DT property.
+* If domain assigned to a HART does not have separate device tree then
+  OpenSBI platform support should remove all domain configuration details
+  from the device tree passed by previous booting stage before passing it
+  to the next booting stage.
