[PATCH 1/1] dt-bindings: T-HEAD CLINT

From: Heinrich Schuchardt
Date: Wed Oct 20 2021 - 05:36:16 EST


The CLINT in the T-HEAD 9xx CPUs is similar to the SiFive CLINT but does
not support 64bit mmio access to the MTIMER device.

OpenSBI currently uses a property 'clint,has-no-64bit-mmio' to indicate the
restriction and the "sifive,cling0" compatible string. An OpenSBI
patch suggested to use "reg-io-width = <4>;" as the reg-io-width property
is generally used in the devicetree schema for such a condition.

As the design is not SiFive based it is preferable to apply a compatible
string identifying T-HEAD instead.

Add a new yaml file describing the T-HEAD CLINT.

+description:
+ T-HEAD (and other RISC-V) SOCs include an implementation of the T-HEAD
+ Core Local Interruptor (CLINT) for M-mode timer and M-mode inter-processor
+ interrupts. It directly connects to the timer and inter-processor interrupt
+ lines of various HARTs (or CPUs) so RISC-V per-HART (or per-CPU) local
+ interrupt controller is the parent interrupt controller for CLINT device.
+ The clock frequency of the CLINT is specified via "timebase-frequency" DT
+ property of "/cpus" DT node. The "timebase-frequency" DT property is
+ described in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/riscv/cpus.yaml
+
+properties:
+ compatible:
+ items:
+ - const:
+ - allwinner,sun20i-d1-clint
+ - const:
+ - thead,clint0
+
+ description:
+ Should be "<vendor>,<chip>-clint" and "thead,clint<version>" for
+ the T-HEAD derived CLINTs.
+ Supported compatible strings are -
+ "allwinner,sun20i-d1-clint" for the CLINT in the Allwinner D1 SoC
+ and "thead,clint0" for the T-HEAD IP block with no chip
+ integration tweaks.
