ARM: psci: add devicetree binding for describing PSCI firmware
This patch adds a new devicetree binding for describing PSCI firmware to Linux. Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

1* Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI)
2
3Firmware implementing the PSCI functions described in ARM document number
4ARM DEN 0022A ("Power State Coordination Interface System Software on ARM
5processors") can be used by Linux to initiate various CPU-centric power
6operations.
7
8Issue A of the specification describes functions for CPU suspend, hotplug
9and migration of secure software.
10
11Functions are invoked by trapping to the privilege level of the PSCI
12firmware (specified as part of the binding below) and passing arguments
13in a manner similar to that specified by AAPCS:
14
15 r0 => 32-bit Function ID / return value
16 {r1 - r3} => Parameters
17
18Note that the immediate field of the trapping instruction must be set
19to #0.
20
21
22Main node required properties:
23
24 - compatible : Must be "arm,psci"
25
26 - method : The method of calling the PSCI firmware. Permitted
27 values are:
28
29 "smc" : SMC #0, with the register assignments specified
30 in this binding.
31
32 "hvc" : HVC #0, with the register assignments specified
33 in this binding.
34
35Main node optional properties:
36
37 - cpu_suspend : Function ID for CPU_SUSPEND operation
38
39 - cpu_off : Function ID for CPU_OFF operation
40
41 - cpu_on : Function ID for CPU_ON operation
42
43 - migrate : Function ID for MIGRATE operation
44
45
46Example:
47
48 psci {
49 compatible = "arm,psci";
50 method = "smc";
51 cpu_suspend = <0x95c10000>;
52 cpu_off = <0x95c10001>;
53 cpu_on = <0x95c10002>;
54 migrate = <0x95c10003>;
55 };
