Tue Feb 24 21:05:21 PST 2026
Convert the bindings document for Xilinx DMA from txt to yaml.
No changes to existing binding description.
Signed-off-by: Abin Joseph <abin.joseph at amd.com>
---
v2:
-> Add examples for each compatible
-> Remove the note added
-> Use 'enum' rather than 'anyOf' and 'const'
-> Wrap 80 char per line for descriptions
-> Add dma-controller yaml reference
-> Add -| for paragraph separation
-> Remove labels from the examples

-Required properties:
-- compatible: Should be one of-
- "xlnx,axi-vdma-1.00.a"
- "xlnx,axi-dma-1.00.a"
- "xlnx,axi-cdma-1.00.a"

-- #dma-cells: Should be <1>, see "dmas" property below
-- reg: Should contain VDMA registers location and length.
-- xlnx,addrwidth: Should be the vdma addressing size in bits(ex: 32 bits).
-- dma-ranges: Should be as the following <dma_addr cpu_addr max_len>.
-- dma-channel child node: Should have at least one channel and can have up to
- two channels per device. This node specifies the properties of each
- DMA channel (see child node properties below).
-- clocks: Input clock specifier. Refer to common clock bindings.
-- clock-names: List of input clocks
- For VDMA:
- Required elements: "s_axi_lite_aclk"
- Optional elements: "m_axi_mm2s_aclk" "m_axi_s2mm_aclk",
- "m_axis_mm2s_aclk", "s_axis_s2mm_aclk"

-
-Optional properties for AXI DMA and MCDMA:
-- xlnx,sg-length-width: Should be set to the width in bits of the length
- register as configured in h/w. Takes values {8...26}. If the property
- is missing or invalid then the default value 23 is used. This is the
- maximum value that is supported by all IP versions.
-
-Optional properties for AXI DMA:
-- xlnx,axistream-connected: Tells whether DMA is connected to AXI stream IP.
-- xlnx,irq-delay: Tells the interrupt delay timeout value. Valid range is from
- 0-255. Setting this value to zero disables the delay timer interrupt.
- 1 timeout interval = 125 * clock period of SG clock.
-Optional properties for VDMA:
-- xlnx,flush-fsync: Tells which channel to Flush on Frame sync.
- It takes following values:
- {1}, flush both channels
- {2}, flush mm2s channel
- {3}, flush s2mm channel
-
-Required child node properties:
-- compatible:
- For VDMA: It should be either "xlnx,axi-vdma-mm2s-channel" or

-- xlnx,datawidth: Should contain the stream data width, take values
- {32,64...1024}.
-
-Optional child node properties:
-- xlnx,include-dre: Tells hardware is configured for Data
- Realignment Engine.
-Optional child node properties for VDMA:
-- xlnx,genlock-mode: Tells Genlock synchronization is
- enabled/disabled in hardware.
-- xlnx,enable-vert-flip: Tells vertical flip is
- enabled/disabled in hardware(S2MM path).
-Optional child node properties for MCDMA:
-- dma-channels: Number of dma channels in child node.
