[PATCH] dt-bindings: misc: add schema for xlnx,axi-fifo-mm-s
Posted by Lucas Faria Mendes 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Add a proper YAML devicetree binding schema for the Xilinx AXI-Stream
FIFO IP core, documenting the three supported compatible strings:
xlnx,axi-fifo-mm-s-4.1, xlnx,axi-fifo-mm-s-4.2, and
xlnx,axi-fifo-mm-s-4.3.

This resolves the checkpatch warnings about undocumented DT compatible
strings.

Isn't this basically a dma controller?

This has nothing to do with the binding. I went looking for the driver
and realised it is in staging, and there's a text binding in staging
which this patch should be deleting!
Are you trying to get this out of staging? I don't know how much value
there is in trying to convert the binding if the driver isn't going to
be moved out.

I find it kinda suspect that minor version changes cause incompatible
changes in the programming model.

Why do these need properties if they are only 32-bit always? Is that
limitation on the driver? If so, the binding should permit what the
hardware can do.

These two should be booleans.

And if the properties become boolean, they aren't required any more.

I think this should be "dma-controller".

reg should be after properties.
