Devicetree (DT) ABI | ||
|
||
I. Regarding stable bindings/ABI, we quote from the 2013 ARM mini-summit | ||
summary document: | ||
|
||
"That still leaves the question of, what does a stable binding look | ||
like? Certainly a stable binding means that a newer kernel will not | ||
break on an older device tree, but that doesn't mean the binding is | ||
frozen for all time. Grant said there are ways to change bindings that | ||
don't result in breakage. For instance, if a new property is added, | ||
then default to the previous behaviour if it is missing. If a binding | ||
truly needs an incompatible change, then change the compatible string | ||
at the same time. The driver can bind against both the old and the | ||
new. These guidelines aren't new, but they desperately need to be | ||
documented." | ||
|
||
II. General binding rules | ||
|
||
1) Maintainers, don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Don't hold up a | ||
binding because it isn't perfect. | ||
|
||
2) Use specific compatible strings so that if we need to add a feature (DMA) | ||
in the future, we can create a new compatible string. See I. | ||
|
||
3) Bindings can be augmented, but the driver shouldn't break when given | ||
the old binding. ie. add additional properties, but don't change the | ||
meaning of an existing property. For drivers, default to the original | ||
behaviour when a newly added property is missing. | ||
|
||
4) Don't submit bindings for staging or unstable. That will be decided by | ||
the devicetree maintainers *after* discussion on the mailinglist. | ||
|
||
III. Notes | ||
|
||
1) This document is intended as a general familiarization with the process as | ||
decided at the 2013 Kernel Summit. When in doubt, the current word of the | ||
devicetree maintainers overrules this document. In that situation, a patch | ||
updating this document would be appreciated. |

* VIA VT8500 and WonderMedia WM8xxx UART Controller | ||
|
||
Required properties: | ||
- compatible: should be "via,vt8500-uart" | ||
|
||
- reg: base physical address of the controller and length of memory mapped | ||
region. | ||
|
||
- interrupts: hardware interrupt number | ||
|
||
- clocks: shall be the input parent clock phandle for the clock. This should | ||
be the 24Mhz reference clock. | ||
|
||
Aliases may be defined to ensure the correct ordering of the uarts. | ||
|
||
Example: | ||
aliases { | ||
serial0 = &uart0; | ||
}; | ||
|
||
uart0: serial@d8200000 { | ||
compatible = "via,vt8500-uart"; | ||
reg = <0xd8200000 0x1040>; | ||
interrupts = <32>; | ||
clocks = <&clkuart0>; | ||
}; |

Submitting devicetree (DT) binding patches | ||
|
||
I. For patch submitters | ||
|
||
0) Normal patch submission rules from Documentation/SubmittingPatches | ||
applies. | ||
|
||
1) The Documentation/ portion of the patch should be a separate patch. | ||
|
||
2) Submit the entire series to the devicetree mailinglist at | ||
|
||
[email protected] | ||
|
||
II. For kernel maintainers | ||
|
||
1) If you aren't comfortable reviewing a given binding, reply to it and ask | ||
the devicetree maintainers for guidance. This will help them prioritize | ||
which ones to review and which ones are ok to let go. | ||
|
||
2) For driver (not subsystem) bindings: If you are comfortable with the | ||
binding, and it hasn't received an Acked-by from the devicetree | ||
maintainers after a few weeks, go ahead and take it. | ||
|
||
Subsystem bindings (anything affecting more than a single device) | ||
then getting a devicetree maintainer to review it is required. | ||
|
||
3) For a series going though multiple trees, the binding patch should be | ||
kept with the driver using the binding. | ||
|
||
III. Notes | ||
|
||
0) Please see ...bindings/ABI.txt for details regarding devicetree ABI. | ||
