+Device-Mapper Logging
+=====================
+The device-mapper logging code is used by some of the device-mapper
+RAID targets to track regions of the disk that are not consistent.
+A region (or portion of the address space) of the disk may be
+inconsistent because a RAID stripe is currently being operated on or
+a machine died while the region was being altered.  In the case of
+mirrors, a region would be considered dirty/inconsistent while you
+are writing to it because the writes need to be replicated for all
+the legs of the mirror and may not reach the legs at the same time.
+Once all writes are complete, the region is considered clean again.
+
+There is a generic logging interface that the device-mapper RAID
+implementations use to perform logging operations (see
+dm_dirty_log_type in include/linux/dm-dirty-log.h).  Various different
+logging implementations are available and provide different
+capabilities.  The list includes:
+
+Type            Files
+====            =====
+disk            drivers/md/dm-log.c
+core            drivers/md/dm-log.c
+userspace       drivers/md/dm-log-userspace* include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h
+
+The "disk" log type
+-------------------
+This log implementation commits the log state to disk.  This way, the
+logging state survives reboots/crashes.
+
+The "core" log type
+-------------------
+This log implementation keeps the log state in memory.  The log state
+will not survive a reboot or crash, but there may be a small boost in
+performance.  This method can also be used if no storage device is
+available for storing log state.
+
+The "userspace" log type
+------------------------
+This log type simply provides a way to export the log API to userspace,
+so log implementations can be done there.  This is done by forwarding most
+logging requests to userspace, where a daemon receives and processes the
+request.
+
+The structure used for communication between kernel and userspace are
+located in include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h.  Due to the frequency,
+diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between
+kernel and userspace, 'connector' is used as the interface for
+communication.
+
+There are currently two userspace log implementations that leverage this
+framework - "clustered_disk" and "clustered_core".  These implementations
+provide a cluster-coherent log for shared-storage.  Device-mapper mirroring
+can be used in a shared-storage environment when the cluster log implementations
+are employed.

+dm-service-time
+===============
+
+dm-service-time is a path selector module for device-mapper targets,
+which selects a path with the shortest estimated service time for
+the incoming I/O.
+
+The service time for each path is estimated by dividing the total size
+of in-flight I/Os on a path with the performance value of the path.
+The performance value is a relative throughput value among all paths
+in a path-group, and it can be specified as a table argument.
+
+The path selector name is 'service-time'.
+
+Table parameters for each path: [<repeat_count> [<relative_throughput>]]
+        <repeat_count>: The number of I/Os to dispatch using the selected
+                        path before switching to the next path.

+                        the default value, see the activated table.
+        <relative_throughput>: The relative throughput value of the path
+                        among all paths in the path-group.
+                        The valid range is 0-100.
+                        If not given, minimum value '1' is used.
+                        If '0' is given, the path isn't selected while
+                        other paths having a positive value are available.
+
+Status for each path: <status> <fail-count> <in-flight-size> \
+                      <relative_throughput>
+        <status>: 'A' if the path is active, 'F' if the path is failed.
+        <fail-count>: The number of path failures.
+        <in-flight-size>: The size of in-flight I/Os on the path.
+        <relative_throughput>: The relative throughput value of the path
+                        among all paths in the path-group.
+
+
+Algorithm
+=========
+
+dm-service-time adds the I/O size to 'in-flight-size' when the I/O is
+dispatched and substracts when completed.
+Basically, dm-service-time selects a path having minimum service time
+which is calculated by:
+
+        ('in-flight-size' + 'size-of-incoming-io') / 'relative_throughput'
+
+However, some optimizations below are used to reduce the calculation
+as much as possible.
+
+        1. If the paths have the same 'relative_throughput', skip
+           the division and just compare the 'in-flight-size'.
+
+        2. If the paths have the same 'in-flight-size', skip the division
+           and just compare the 'relative_throughput'.
+
+        3. If some paths have non-zero 'relative_throughput' and others
+           have zero 'relative_throughput', ignore those paths with zero
+           'relative_throughput'.
+
+If such optimizations can't be applied, calculate service time, and
+compare service time.
+If calculated service time is equal, the path having maximum
+'relative_throughput' may be better.  So compare 'relative_throughput'
+then.
+
+
+Examples
+========
+In case that 2 paths (sda and sdb) are used with repeat_count == 128
+and sda has an average throughput 1GB/s and sdb has 4GB/s,
+'relative_throughput' value may be '1' for sda and '4' for sdb.
+
+# echo "0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 service-time 0 2 2 8:0 128 1 8:16 128 4" \
+  dmsetup create test
+#
+# dmsetup table
+test: 0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 service-time 0 2 2 8:0 128 1 8:16 128 4

+# dmsetup status
+test: 0 10 multipath 2 0 0 0 1 1 E 0 2 2 8:0 A 0 0 1 8:16 A 0 0 4
+
+
+Or '2' for sda and '8' for sdb would be also true.
+
+# echo "0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 service-time 0 2 2 8:0 128 2 8:16 128 8" \

-Docking / undocking -- /proc/acpi/ibm/dock
-------------------------------------------
-
-Docking and undocking (e.g. with the X4 UltraBase) requires some
-actions to be taken by the operating system to safely make or break
-the electrical connections with the dock.
-
-The docking feature of this driver generates the following ACPI events:
-
-        ibm/dock GDCK 00000003 00000001 -- eject request
-        ibm/dock GDCK 00000003 00000002 -- undocked
-        ibm/dock GDCK 00000000 00000003 -- docked
-
-NOTE: These events will only be generated if the laptop was docked
-when originally booted. This is due to the current lack of support for
-hot plugging of devices in the Linux ACPI framework. If the laptop was
-booted while not in the dock, the following message is shown in the
-logs:
-
-        Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: thinkpad_acpi: dock device not present
-
-In this case, no dock-related events are generated but the dock and
-undock commands described below still work. They can be executed
-manually or triggered by Fn key combinations (see the example acpid
-configuration files included in the driver tarball package available
-on the web site).
-
-When the eject request button on the dock is pressed, the first event
-above is generated. The handler for this event should issue the
-following command:
-
-        echo undock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock
-
-After the LED on the dock goes off, it is safe to eject the laptop.
-Note: if you pressed this key by mistake, go ahead and eject the
-laptop, then dock it back in. Otherwise, the dock may not function as
-expected.
-
-When the laptop is docked, the third event above is generated. The
-handler for this event should issue the following command to fully
-enable the dock:
-
-        echo dock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock
-
-The contents of the /proc/acpi/ibm/dock file shows the current status
-of the dock, as provided by the ACPI framework.
-
-The docking support in this driver does not take care of enabling or
-disabling any other devices you may have attached to the dock. For
-example, a CD drive plugged into the UltraBase needs to be disabled or
-enabled separately. See the provided example acpid configuration files
-for how this can be accomplished.
-
-There is no support yet for PCI devices that may be attached to a
-docking station, e.g. in the ThinkPad Dock II. The driver currently
-does not recognize, enable or disable such devices. This means that
-the only docking stations currently supported are the X-series
-UltraBase docks and "dumb" port replicators like the Mini Dock (the
-latter don't need any ACPI support, actually).
-
-
-UltraBay eject -- /proc/acpi/ibm/bay
-------------------------------------
-
-Inserting or ejecting an UltraBay device requires some actions to be
-taken by the operating system to safely make or break the electrical
-connections with the device.
-
-This feature generates the following ACPI events:
-
-        ibm/bay MSTR 00000003 00000000 -- eject request
-        ibm/bay MSTR 00000001 00000000 -- eject lever inserted
-
-NOTE: These events will only be generated if the UltraBay was present
-when the laptop was originally booted (on the X series, the UltraBay
-is in the dock, so it may not be present if the laptop was undocked).
-This is due to the current lack of support for hot plugging of devices
-in the Linux ACPI framework. If the laptop was booted without the
-UltraBay, the following message is shown in the logs:
-
-        Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: thinkpad_acpi: bay device not present
-
-In this case, no bay-related events are generated but the eject
-command described below still works. It can be executed manually or
-triggered by a hot key combination.
-
-Sliding the eject lever generates the first event shown above. The
-handler for this event should take whatever actions are necessary to
-shut down the device in the UltraBay (e.g. call idectl), then issue

-
-These models do not have a button near the UltraBay device to request
-a hot eject but rather require the laptop to be put to sleep
-(suspend-to-ram) before the bay device is ejected or inserted).
-The sequence of steps to eject the device is as follows:
-
-        echo eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay
-        put the ThinkPad to sleep
-        remove the drive
-        resume from sleep
-        cat /proc/acpi/ibm/bay should show that the drive was removed
-
-On the A3x, both the UltraBay 2000 and UltraBay Plus devices are
-supported. Use "eject2" instead of "eject" for the second bay.
-
-Note: the UltraBay eject support on the 600e/x, A22p and A3x is
-EXPERIMENTAL and may not work as expected. USE WITH CAUTION!

+Kernel driver lp3944
+====================
+
+  * National Semiconductor LP3944 Fun-light Chip
+    Prefix: 'lp3944'
+    Addresses scanned: None (see the Notes section below)
+    Datasheet: Publicly available at the National Semiconductor website
+               http://www.national.com/pf/LP/LP3944.html
+
+Authors:
+        Antonio Ospite <ospite@studenti.unina.it>
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+The LP3944 is a helper chip that can drive up to 8 leds, with two programmable
+DIM modes; it could even be used as a gpio expander but this driver assumes it
+is used as a led controller.
+
+The DIM modes are used to set _blink_ patterns for leds, the pattern is
+specified supplying two parameters:
+  - period: from 0s to 1.6s
+  - duty cycle: percentage of the period the led is on, from 0 to 100
+
+Setting a led in DIM0 or DIM1 mode makes it blink according to the pattern.
+See the datasheet for details.
+
+LP3944 can be found on Motorola A910 smartphone, where it drives the rgb
+leds, the camera flash light and the lcds power.
+
+
+Notes
+-----
+The chip is used mainly in embedded contexts, so this driver expects it is
+registered using the i2c_board_info mechanism.
+
+To register the chip at address 0x60 on adapter 0, set the platform data
+according to include/linux/leds-lp3944.h, set the i2c board info:
+
+        static struct i2c_board_info __initdata a910_i2c_board_info[] = {
+                {
+                        I2C_BOARD_INFO("lp3944", 0x60),
+                        .platform_data = &a910_lp3944_leds,
+                },
+        };
+
+and register it in the platform init function
+
+        i2c_register_board_info(0, a910_i2c_board_info,
+                        ARRAY_SIZE(a910_i2c_board_info));

@@ -1238,1122 +1238,7 @@ descriptions for the SOC devices for which new nodes have been
 defined; this list will expand as more and more SOC-containing
 platforms are moved over to use the flattened-device-tree model.
 
-   a) PHY nodes
-
-   Required properties:
-
-    - device_type : Should be "ethernet-phy"
-    - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a
-      field that represents an encoding of the sense and level
-      information for the interrupt.  This should be encoded based on
-      the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt
-      controller you have.
-    - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that
-      services interrupts for this device.
-    - reg : The ID number for the phy, usually a small integer
-    - linux,phandle :  phandle for this node; likely referenced by an
-      ethernet controller node.
-
-
-   Example:
-
-        ethernet-phy@0 {
-                linux,phandle = <2452000>
-                interrupt-parent = <40000>;
-                interrupts = <35 1>;
-                reg = <0>;
-                device_type = "ethernet-phy";
-        };
-
-
-   b) Interrupt controllers
-
-   Some SOC devices contain interrupt controllers that are different
-   from the standard Open PIC specification.  The SOC device nodes for
-   these types of controllers should be specified just like a standard
-   OpenPIC controller.  Sense and level information should be encoded
-   as specified in section 2) of this chapter for each device that
-   specifies an interrupt.
-
-   Example :
-
-        pic@40000 {
-                linux,phandle = <40000>;
-                interrupt-controller;
-                #address-cells = <0>;
-                reg = <40000 40000>;
-                compatible = "chrp,open-pic";
-                device_type = "open-pic";
-        };
-
-    c) 4xx/Axon EMAC ethernet nodes
-
-    The EMAC ethernet controller in IBM and AMCC 4xx chips, and also
-    the Axon bridge.  To operate this needs to interact with a ths
-    special McMAL DMA controller, and sometimes an RGMII or ZMII
-    interface.  In addition to the nodes and properties described
-    below, the node for the OPB bus on which the EMAC sits must have a
-    correct clock-frequency property.
-
-      i) The EMAC node itself

-                           For Axon: This is _different_ from the current
-                           firmware.  We use the "delayed" interrupts for txeob
-                           and rxeob. Thus we end up with mapping those 5 MPIC

-
-   d) Xilinx IP cores
-
-   The Xilinx EDK toolchain ships with a set of IP cores (devices) for use
-   in Xilinx Spartan and Virtex FPGAs.  The devices cover the whole range
-   of standard device types (network, serial, etc.) and miscellaneous
-   devices (gpio, LCD, spi, etc).  Also, since these devices are
-   implemented within the fpga fabric every instance of the device can be
-   synthesised with different options that change the behaviour.
-
-   Each IP-core has a set of parameters which the FPGA designer can use to
-   control how the core is synthesized.  Historically, the EDK tool would
-   extract the device parameters relevant to device drivers and copy them
-   into an 'xparameters.h' in the form of #define symbols.  This tells the
-   device drivers how the IP cores are configured, but it requres the kernel
-   to be recompiled every time the FPGA bitstream is resynthesized.
-
-   The new approach is to export the parameters into the device tree and
-   generate a new device tree each time the FPGA bitstream changes.  The
-   parameters which used to be exported as #defines will now become
-   properties of the device node.  In general, device nodes for IP-cores
-   will take the following form:
-
-        (name): (generic-name)@(base-address) {
-                compatible = "xlnx,(ip-core-name)-(HW_VER)"
-                             [, (list of compatible devices), ...];
-                reg = <(baseaddr) (size)>;
-                interrupt-parent = <&interrupt-controller-phandle>;
-                interrupts = < ... >;
-                xlnx,(parameter1) = "(string-value)";
-                xlnx,(parameter2) = <(int-value)>;
-        };
-
-        (generic-name):   an open firmware-style name that describes the
-                        generic class of device.  Preferably, this is one word, such
-                        as 'serial' or 'ethernet'.
-        (ip-core-name): the name of the ip block (given after the BEGIN
-                        directive in system.mhs).  Should be in lowercase
-                        and all underscores '_' converted to dashes '-'.
-        (name):         is derived from the "PARAMETER INSTANCE" value.
-        (parameter#):   C_* parameters from system.mhs.  The C_ prefix is
-                        dropped from the parameter name, the name is converted
-                        to lowercase and all underscore '_' characters are
-                        converted to dashes '-'.
-        (baseaddr):     the baseaddr parameter value (often named C_BASEADDR).
-        (HW_VER):       from the HW_VER parameter.
-        (size):         the address range size (often C_HIGHADDR - C_BASEADDR + 1).
-
-   Typically, the compatible list will include the exact IP core version
-   followed by an older IP core version which implements the same
-   interface or any other device with the same interface.
-
-   'reg', 'interrupt-parent' and 'interrupts' are all optional properties.
-
-   For example, the following block from system.mhs:
-
-        BEGIN opb_uartlite
-                PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_uartlite_0
-                PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.b
-                PARAMETER C_BAUDRATE = 115200
-                PARAMETER C_DATA_BITS = 8
-                PARAMETER C_ODD_PARITY = 0
-                PARAMETER C_USE_PARITY = 0
-                PARAMETER C_CLK_FREQ = 50000000
-                PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xEC100000
-                PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xEC10FFFF
-                BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_7
-                PORT OPB_Clk = CLK_50MHz
-                PORT Interrupt = opb_uartlite_0_Interrupt
-                PORT RX = opb_uartlite_0_RX
-                PORT TX = opb_uartlite_0_TX
-                PORT OPB_Rst = sys_bus_reset_0
-        END
-
-   becomes the following device tree node:
-
-        opb_uartlite_0: serial@ec100000 {
-                device_type = "serial";
-                compatible = "xlnx,opb-uartlite-1.00.b";
-                reg = <ec100000 10000>;
-                interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>;
-                interrupts = <1 0>; // got this from the opb_intc parameters
-                current-speed = <d#115200>;     // standard serial device prop
-                clock-frequency = <d#50000000>; // standard serial device prop
-                xlnx,data-bits = <8>;
-                xlnx,odd-parity = <0>;
-                xlnx,use-parity = <0>;
-        };
-
-   Some IP cores actually implement 2 or more logical devices.  In
-   this case, the device should still describe the whole IP core with
-   a single node and add a child node for each logical device.  The
-   ranges property can be used to translate from parent IP-core to the
-   registers of each device.  In addition, the parent node should be
-   compatible with the bus type 'xlnx,compound', and should contain
-   #address-cells and #size-cells, as with any other bus.  (Note: this
-   makes the assumption that both logical devices have the same bus
-   binding.  If this is not true, then separate nodes should be used
-   for each logical device).  The 'cell-index' property can be used to
-   enumerate logical devices within an IP core.  For example, the
-   following is the system.mhs entry for the dual ps2 controller found
-   on the ml403 reference design.
-
-        BEGIN opb_ps2_dual_ref
-                PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_ps2_dual_ref_0
-                PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.a
-                PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xA9000000
-                PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xA9001FFF
-                BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_v20_0
-                PORT Sys_Intr1 = ps2_1_intr
-                PORT Sys_Intr2 = ps2_2_intr
-                PORT Clkin1 = ps2_clk_rx_1
-                PORT Clkin2 = ps2_clk_rx_2
-                PORT Clkpd1 = ps2_clk_tx_1
-                PORT Clkpd2 = ps2_clk_tx_2
-                PORT Rx1 = ps2_d_rx_1
-                PORT Rx2 = ps2_d_rx_2
-                PORT Txpd1 = ps2_d_tx_1
-                PORT Txpd2 = ps2_d_tx_2
-        END
-
-   It would result in the following device tree nodes:
-
-        opb_ps2_dual_ref_0: opb-ps2-dual-ref@a9000000 {
-                #address-cells = <1>;
-                #size-cells = <1>;
-                compatible = "xlnx,compound";
-                ranges = <0 a9000000 2000>;
-                // If this device had extra parameters, then they would
-                // go here.
-                ps2@0 {
-                        compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a";
-                        reg = <0 40>;
-                        interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>;
-                        interrupts = <3 0>;
-                        cell-index = <0>;
-                };
-                ps2@1000 {
-                        compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a";
-                        reg = <1000 40>;
-                        interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>;
-                        interrupts = <3 0>;
-                        cell-index = <0>;
-                };
-        };
-
-   Also, the system.mhs file defines bus attachments from the processor
-   to the devices.  The device tree structure should reflect the bus
-   attachments.  Again an example; this system.mhs fragment:
-
-        BEGIN ppc405_virtex4
-                PARAMETER INSTANCE = ppc405_0
-                PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.01.a

-        };
-
-   That covers the general approach to binding xilinx IP cores into the
-   device tree.  The following are bindings for specific devices:
-
-      i) Xilinx ML300 Framebuffer
-
-      Simple framebuffer device from the ML300 reference design (also on the
-      ML403 reference design as well as others).
-
-      Optional properties:
-       - resolution = <xres yres> : pixel resolution of framebuffer.  Some
-                                    implementations use a different resolution.
-                                    Default is <d#640 d#480>
-       - virt-resolution = <xvirt yvirt> : Size of framebuffer in memory.
-                                           Default is <d#1024 d#480>.
-       - rotate-display (empty) : rotate display 180 degrees.
-
-      ii) Xilinx SystemACE
-
-      The Xilinx SystemACE device is used to program FPGAs from an FPGA
-      bitstream stored on a CF card.  It can also be used as a generic CF
-      interface device.
-
-      Optional properties:
-       - 8-bit (empty) : Set this property for SystemACE in 8 bit mode
-
-      iii) Xilinx EMAC and Xilinx TEMAC
-
-      Xilinx Ethernet devices.  In addition to general xilinx properties
-      listed above, nodes for these devices should include a phy-handle
-      property, and may include other common network device properties
-      like local-mac-address.
-
-      iv) Xilinx Uartlite
-
-      Xilinx uartlite devices are simple fixed speed serial ports.
-
-      Required properties:
-       - current-speed : Baud rate of uartlite
-
-      v) Xilinx hwicap
-
-                Xilinx hwicap devices provide access to the configuration logic
-                of the FPGA through the Internal Configuration Access Port
-                (ICAP).  The ICAP enables partial reconfiguration of the FPGA,
-                readback of the configuration information, and some control over
-                'warm boots' of the FPGA fabric.
-
-                Required properties:
-                - xlnx,family : The family of the FPGA, necessary since the
-                      capabilities of the underlying ICAP hardware
-                      differ between different families.  May be
-                      'virtex2p', 'virtex4', or 'virtex5'.
-
-      vi) Xilinx Uart 16550
-
-      Xilinx UART 16550 devices are very similar to the NS16550 but with
-      different register spacing and an offset from the base address.
-
-      Required properties:
-       - clock-frequency : Frequency of the clock input
-       - reg-offset : A value of 3 is required
-       - reg-shift : A value of 2 is required
-
-    e) USB EHCI controllers
-
-    Required properties:
-      - compatible : should be "usb-ehci".
-      - reg : should contain at least address and length of the standard EHCI
-        register set for the device. Optional platform-dependent registers
-        (debug-port or other) can be also specified here, but only after
-        definition of standard EHCI registers.
-      - interrupts : one EHCI interrupt should be described here.
-    If device registers are implemented in big endian mode, the device
-    node should have "big-endian-regs" property.
-    If controller implementation operates with big endian descriptors,
-    "big-endian-desc" property should be specified.
-    If both big endian registers and descriptors are used by the controller
-    implementation, "big-endian" property can be specified instead of having
-    both "big-endian-regs" and "big-endian-desc".
-
-     Example (Sequoia 440EPx):
-            ehci@e0000300 {
-                   compatible = "ibm,usb-ehci-440epx", "usb-ehci";
-                   interrupt-parent = <&UIC0>;
-                   interrupts = <1a 4>;
-                   reg = <0 e0000300 90 0 e0000390 70>;
-                   big-endian;
-           };
-
-   f) MDIO on GPIOs
-
-   Currently defined compatibles:
-   - virtual,gpio-mdio
-
-   MDC and MDIO lines connected to GPIO controllers are listed in the
-   gpios property as described in section VIII.1 in the following order:
-
-   MDC, MDIO.
-
-   Example:
-
-        mdio {
-                compatible = "virtual,mdio-gpio";
-                #address-cells = <1>;
-                #size-cells = <0>;
-                gpios = <&qe_pio_a 11
-                         &qe_pio_c 6>;
-        };
-
-    g) SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) busses
-
-    SPI busses can be described with a node for the SPI master device
-    and a set of child nodes for each SPI slave on the bus.  For this
-    discussion, it is assumed that the system's SPI controller is in
-    SPI master mode.  This binding does not describe SPI controllers
-    in slave mode.
-
-    The SPI master node requires the following properties:
-    - #address-cells  - number of cells required to define a chip select
-                        address on the SPI bus.
-    - #size-cells     - should be zero.
-    - compatible      - name of SPI bus controller following generic names
-                        recommended practice.
-    No other properties are required in the SPI bus node.  It is assumed
-    that a driver for an SPI bus device will understand that it is an SPI bus.
-    However, the binding does not attempt to define the specific method for
-    assigning chip select numbers.  Since SPI chip select configuration is
-    flexible and non-standardized, it is left out of this binding with the
-    assumption that board specific platform code will be used to manage
-    chip selects.  Individual drivers can define additional properties to
-    support describing the chip select layout.
-
-    SPI slave nodes must be children of the SPI master node and can
-    contain the following properties.
-    - reg             - (required) chip select address of device.
-    - compatible      - (required) name of SPI device following generic names
-                        recommended practice
-    - spi-max-frequency - (required) Maximum SPI clocking speed of device in Hz
-    - spi-cpol        - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
-                        inverse clock polarity (CPOL) mode
-    - spi-cpha        - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
-                        shifted clock phase (CPHA) mode
-    - spi-cs-high     - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
-                        chip select active high
-
-    SPI example for an MPC5200 SPI bus:
-                spi@f00 {
-                        #address-cells = <1>;
-                        #size-cells = <0>;
-                        compatible = "fsl,mpc5200b-spi","fsl,mpc5200-spi";
-                        reg = <0xf00 0x20>;
-                        interrupts = <2 13 0 2 14 0>;
-                        interrupt-parent = <&mpc5200_pic>;
-
-                        ethernet-switch@0 {
-                                compatible = "micrel,ks8995m";
-                                spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
-                                reg = <0>;
-                        };
-
-                        codec@1 {
-                                compatible = "ti,tlv320aic26";
-                                spi-max-frequency = <100000>;
-                                reg = <1>;
-                        };
-                };

-VII - Marvell Discovery mv64[345]6x System Controller chips
-===========================================================
-
-The Marvell mv64[345]60 series of system controller chips contain
-many of the peripherals needed to implement a complete computer
-system.  In this section, we define device tree nodes to describe
-the system controller chip itself and each of the peripherals
-which it contains.  Compatible string values for each node are
-prefixed with the string "marvell,", for Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
-
-1) The /system-controller node
-
-  This node is used to represent the system-controller and must be
-  present when the system uses a system controller chip. The top-level
-  system-controller node contains information that is global to all
-  devices within the system controller chip. The node name begins
-  with "system-controller" followed by the unit address, which is
-  the base address of the memory-mapped register set for the system
-  controller chip.
-
-  Required properties:
-
-    - ranges : Describes the translation of system controller addresses
-      for memory mapped registers.
-    - clock-frequency: Contains the main clock frequency for the system
-      controller chip.
-    - reg : This property defines the address and size of the
-      memory-mapped registers contained within the system controller
-      chip.  The address specified in the "reg" property should match
-      the unit address of the system-controller node.
-    - #address-cells : Address representation for system controller
-      devices.  This field represents the number of cells needed to
-      represent the address of the memory-mapped registers of devices
-      within the system controller chip.
-    - #size-cells : Size representation for for the memory-mapped
-      registers within the system controller chip.
-    - #interrupt-cells : Defines the width of cells used to represent
-      interrupts.
-
-  Optional properties:
-
-    - model : The specific model of the system controller chip.  Such
-      as, "mv64360", "mv64460", or "mv64560".
-    - compatible : A string identifying the compatibility identifiers
-      of the system controller chip.
-
-  The system-controller node contains child nodes for each system
-  controller device that the platform uses.  Nodes should not be created
-  for devices which exist on the system controller chip but are not used
-
-  Example Marvell Discovery mv64360 system-controller node:
-
-    system-controller@f1000000 { /* Marvell Discovery mv64360 */
-            #address-cells = <1>;
-            #size-cells = <1>;
-            model = "mv64360";                      /* Default */
-            compatible = "marvell,mv64360";
-            clock-frequency = <133333333>;
-            reg = <0xf1000000 0x10000>;
-            virtual-reg = <0xf1000000>;
-            ranges = <0x88000000 0x88000000 0x1000000 /* PCI 0 I/O Space */
-                    0x80000000 0x80000000 0x8000000 /* PCI 0 MEM Space */
-                    0xa0000000 0xa0000000 0x4000000 /* User FLASH */
-                    0x00000000 0xf1000000 0x0010000 /* Bridge's regs */
-                    0xf2000000 0xf2000000 0x0040000>;/* Integrated SRAM */
-
-            [ child node definitions... ]
-    }
-
-2) Child nodes of /system-controller
-
-   a) Marvell Discovery MDIO bus
-
-   The MDIO is a bus to which the PHY devices are connected.  For each
-   device that exists on this bus, a child node should be created.  See
-   the definition of the PHY node below for an example of how to define
-   a PHY.
-
-   Required properties:
-     - #address-cells : Should be <1>
-     - #size-cells : Should be <0>

-     };
-
-
-   b) Marvell Discovery ethernet controller
-
-   The Discover ethernet controller is described with two levels
-   of nodes.  The first level describes an ethernet silicon block
-   and the second level describes up to 3 ethernet nodes within
-   that block.  The reason for the multiple levels is that the
-   registers for the node are interleaved within a single set
-   of registers.  The "ethernet-block" level describes the
-   shared register set, and the "ethernet" nodes describe ethernet
-   port-specific properties.
-
-   Ethernet block node
-
-   Required properties:
-     - #address-cells : <1>
-     - #size-cells : <0>

-     - reg : Should be <0>, <1>, or <2>, according to which registers
-       within the silicon block the device uses.
-     - interrupts : <a> where a is the interrupt number for the port.
-     - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller
-       that services interrupts for this device.
-     - phy : the phandle for the PHY connected to this ethernet
-       controller.
-     - local-mac-address : 6 bytes, MAC address
-
-   Example Discovery Ethernet port node:
-     ethernet@0 {
-             device_type = "network";
-             compatible = "marvell,mv64360-eth";
-             reg = <0>;
-             interrupts = <32>;
-             interrupt-parent = <&PIC>;
-             phy = <&PHY0>;
-             local-mac-address = [ 00 00 00 00 00 00 ];
-     };

-
-   Required properties:
-     - device_type : Should be "ethernet-phy"
-     - interrupts : <a> where a is the interrupt number for this phy.
-     - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that
-       services interrupts for this device.
-     - reg : The ID number for the phy, usually a small integer
-
-   Example Discovery PHY node:
-     ethernet-phy@1 {
-             device_type = "ethernet-phy";
-             compatible = "broadcom,bcm5421";
-             interrupts = <76>;      /* GPP 12 */
-             interrupt-parent = <&PIC>;

-     };
-
-
-   d) Marvell Discovery SDMA nodes
-
-   Represent DMA hardware associated with the MPSC (multiprotocol
-   serial controllers).

+                          For Axon it can be absent, though my current driver
+                          doesn't handle phy-address yet so for now, keep
+                          0x00ffffff in it.
+    - rx-fifo-size-gige : 1 cell, Rx fifo size in bytes for 1000 Mb/sec
+                          operations (if absent the value is the same as

+Specifying GPIO information for devices
+============================================
+
+1) gpios property
+-----------------
+
+Nodes that makes use of GPIOs should define them using `gpios' property,
+format of which is: <&gpio-controller1-phandle gpio1-specifier
+                     &gpio-controller2-phandle gpio2-specifier
+                     0 /* holes are permitted, means no GPIO 3 */
+                     &gpio-controller4-phandle gpio4-specifier
+                     ...>;
+
+Note that gpio-specifier length is controller dependent.
+
+gpio-specifier may encode: bank, pin position inside the bank,
+whether pin is open-drain and whether pin is logically inverted.
+
+Example of the node using GPIOs:
+
+        node {
+                gpios = <&qe_pio_e 18 0>;
+        };
+
+In this example gpio-specifier is "18 0" and encodes GPIO pin number,
+and empty GPIO flags as accepted by the "qe_pio_e" gpio-controller.
+
+2) gpio-controller nodes
+------------------------
+
+Every GPIO controller node must have #gpio-cells property defined,
+this information will be used to translate gpio-specifiers.
+
+Example of two SOC GPIO banks defined as gpio-controller nodes:
+
+        qe_pio_a: gpio-controller@1400 {
+                #gpio-cells = <2>;

+Marvell Discovery mv64[345]6x System Controller chips
+===========================================================
+
+The Marvell mv64[345]60 series of system controller chips contain
+many of the peripherals needed to implement a complete computer
+system.  In this section, we define device tree nodes to describe
+the system controller chip itself and each of the peripherals
+which it contains.  Compatible string values for each node are
+prefixed with the string "marvell,", for Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
+
+1) The /system-controller node
+
+  This node is used to represent the system-controller and must be
+  present when the system uses a system controller chip. The top-level
+  system-controller node contains information that is global to all
+  devices within the system controller chip. The node name begins
+  with "system-controller" followed by the unit address, which is
+  the base address of the memory-mapped register set for the system
+  controller chip.
+
+  Required properties:
+
+    - ranges : Describes the translation of system controller addresses
+      for memory mapped registers.
+    - clock-frequency: Contains the main clock frequency for the system
+      controller chip.
+    - reg : This property defines the address and size of the
+      memory-mapped registers contained within the system controller
+      chip.  The address specified in the "reg" property should match
+      the unit address of the system-controller node.
+    - #address-cells : Address representation for system controller
+      devices.  This field represents the number of cells needed to
+      represent the address of the memory-mapped registers of devices
+      within the system controller chip.
+    - #size-cells : Size representation for for the memory-mapped
+      registers within the system controller chip.
+    - #interrupt-cells : Defines the width of cells used to represent
+      interrupts.
+
+  Optional properties:
+
+    - model : The specific model of the system controller chip.  Such
+      as, "mv64360", "mv64460", or "mv64560".
+    - compatible : A string identifying the compatibility identifiers
+      of the system controller chip.
+
+  The system-controller node contains child nodes for each system
+  controller device that the platform uses.  Nodes should not be created
+  for devices which exist on the system controller chip but are not used
+
+  Example Marvell Discovery mv64360 system-controller node:
+
+    system-controller@f1000000 { /* Marvell Discovery mv64360 */
+            #address-cells = <1>;
+            #size-cells = <1>;
+            model = "mv64360";                      /* Default */
+            compatible = "marvell,mv64360";
+            clock-frequency = <133333333>;
+            reg = <0xf1000000 0x10000>;
+            virtual-reg = <0xf1000000>;
+            ranges = <0x88000000 0x88000000 0x1000000 /* PCI 0 I/O Space */

+
+            [ child node definitions... ]
+    }
+
+2) Child nodes of /system-controller
+
+   a) Marvell Discovery MDIO bus
+
+   The MDIO is a bus to which the PHY devices are connected.  For each
+   device that exists on this bus, a child node should be created.  See
+   the definition of the PHY node below for an example of how to define
+   a PHY.
+
+   Required properties:
+     - #address-cells : Should be <1>
+     - #size-cells : Should be <0>
+     - device_type : Should be "mdio"
+     - compatible : Should be "marvell,mv64360-mdio"
+
+   Example:
+
+     mdio {
+             #address-cells = <1>;
+             #size-cells = <0>;
+             device_type = "mdio";
+             compatible = "marvell,mv64360-mdio";
+
+             ethernet-phy@0 {
+                     ......
+             };
+     };
+
+
+   b) Marvell Discovery ethernet controller
+
+   The Discover ethernet controller is described with two levels
+   of nodes.  The first level describes an ethernet silicon block
+   and the second level describes up to 3 ethernet nodes within
+   that block.  The reason for the multiple levels is that the
+   registers for the node are interleaved within a single set
+   of registers.  The "ethernet-block" level describes the
+   shared register set, and the "ethernet" nodes describe ethernet
+   port-specific properties.
+
+   Ethernet block node
+
+   Required properties:
+     - #address-cells : <1>
+     - #size-cells : <0>
+     - compatible : "marvell,mv64360-eth-block"
+     - reg : Offset and length of the register set for this block
+
+   Example Discovery Ethernet block node:
+     ethernet-block@2000 {
+             #address-cells = <1>;
+             #size-cells = <0>;
+             compatible = "marvell,mv64360-eth-block";
+             reg = <0x2000 0x2000>;
+             ethernet@0 {
+                     .......
+             };
+     };
+
+   Ethernet port node
+
+   Required properties:
+     - device_type : Should be "network".
+     - compatible : Should be "marvell,mv64360-eth".
+     - reg : Should be <0>, <1>, or <2>, according to which registers
+       within the silicon block the device uses.
+     - interrupts : <a> where a is the interrupt number for the port.
+     - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller
+       that services interrupts for this device.
+     - phy : the phandle for the PHY connected to this ethernet
+       controller.
+     - local-mac-address : 6 bytes, MAC address
+
+   Example Discovery Ethernet port node:
+     ethernet@0 {
+             device_type = "network";
+             compatible = "marvell,mv64360-eth";
+             reg = <0>;
+             interrupts = <32>;
+             interrupt-parent = <&PIC>;
+             phy = <&PHY0>;
+             local-mac-address = [ 00 00 00 00 00 00 ];
+     };
+
+
+
+   c) Marvell Discovery PHY nodes
+
+   Required properties:
+     - device_type : Should be "ethernet-phy"
+     - interrupts : <a> where a is the interrupt number for this phy.
+     - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that
+       services interrupts for this device.
+     - reg : The ID number for the phy, usually a small integer
+
+   Example Discovery PHY node:
+     ethernet-phy@1 {
+             device_type = "ethernet-phy";
+             compatible = "broadcom,bcm5421";
+             interrupts = <76>;      /* GPP 12 */
+             interrupt-parent = <&PIC>;
+             reg = <1>;
+     };
+
+
+   d) Marvell Discovery SDMA nodes
+
+   Represent DMA hardware associated with the MPSC (multiprotocol
+   serial controllers).
+
+   Required properties:
+     - compatible : "marvell,mv64360-sdma"
+     - reg : Offset and length of the register set for this device
+     - interrupts : <a> where a is the interrupt number for the DMA
+       device.
+     - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller
+       that services interrupts for this device.
+
+   Example Discovery SDMA node:

+SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) busses
+
+SPI busses can be described with a node for the SPI master device
+and a set of child nodes for each SPI slave on the bus.  For this
+discussion, it is assumed that the system's SPI controller is in
+SPI master mode.  This binding does not describe SPI controllers
+in slave mode.
+
+The SPI master node requires the following properties:
+- #address-cells  - number of cells required to define a chip select
+                address on the SPI bus.
+- #size-cells     - should be zero.
+- compatible      - name of SPI bus controller following generic names
+                recommended practice.
+No other properties are required in the SPI bus node.  It is assumed
+that a driver for an SPI bus device will understand that it is an SPI bus.
+However, the binding does not attempt to define the specific method for
+assigning chip select numbers.  Since SPI chip select configuration is
+flexible and non-standardized, it is left out of this binding with the
+assumption that board specific platform code will be used to manage
+chip selects.  Individual drivers can define additional properties to
+support describing the chip select layout.
+
+SPI slave nodes must be children of the SPI master node and can
+contain the following properties.
+- reg             - (required) chip select address of device.
+- compatible      - (required) name of SPI device following generic names
+                recommended practice
+- spi-max-frequency - (required) Maximum SPI clocking speed of device in Hz
+- spi-cpol        - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
+                inverse clock polarity (CPOL) mode
+- spi-cpha        - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
+                shifted clock phase (CPHA) mode
+- spi-cs-high     - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
+                chip select active high

+   d) Xilinx IP cores
+
+   The Xilinx EDK toolchain ships with a set of IP cores (devices) for use
+   in Xilinx Spartan and Virtex FPGAs.  The devices cover the whole range
+   of standard device types (network, serial, etc.) and miscellaneous
+   devices (gpio, LCD, spi, etc).  Also, since these devices are
+   implemented within the fpga fabric every instance of the device can be
+   synthesised with different options that change the behaviour.
+
+   Each IP-core has a set of parameters which the FPGA designer can use to
+   control how the core is synthesized.  Historically, the EDK tool would
+   extract the device parameters relevant to device drivers and copy them
+   into an 'xparameters.h' in the form of #define symbols.  This tells the
+   device drivers how the IP cores are configured, but it requres the kernel
+   to be recompiled every time the FPGA bitstream is resynthesized.
+
+   The new approach is to export the parameters into the device tree and
+   generate a new device tree each time the FPGA bitstream changes.  The
+   parameters which used to be exported as #defines will now become
+   properties of the device node.  In general, device nodes for IP-cores
+   will take the following form:
+
+        (name): (generic-name)@(base-address) {
+                compatible = "xlnx,(ip-core-name)-(HW_VER)"
+                             [, (list of compatible devices), ...];
+                reg = <(baseaddr) (size)>;
+                interrupt-parent = <&interrupt-controller-phandle>;
+                interrupts = < ... >;
+                xlnx,(parameter1) = "(string-value)";
+                xlnx,(parameter2) = <(int-value)>;
+        };
+
+        (generic-name):   an open firmware-style name that describes the
+                        generic class of device.  Preferably, this is one word, such
+                        as 'serial' or 'ethernet'.
+        (ip-core-name): the name of the ip block (given after the BEGIN
+                        directive in system.mhs).  Should be in lowercase
+                        and all underscores '_' converted to dashes '-'.
+        (name):         is derived from the "PARAMETER INSTANCE" value.
+        (parameter#):   C_* parameters from system.mhs.  The C_ prefix is
+                        dropped from the parameter name, the name is converted
+                        to lowercase and all underscore '_' characters are
+                        converted to dashes '-'.
+        (baseaddr):     the baseaddr parameter value (often named C_BASEADDR).
+        (HW_VER):       from the HW_VER parameter.
+        (size):         the address range size (often C_HIGHADDR - C_BASEADDR + 1).
+
+   Typically, the compatible list will include the exact IP core version
+   followed by an older IP core version which implements the same
+   interface or any other device with the same interface.
+
+   'reg', 'interrupt-parent' and 'interrupts' are all optional properties.
+
+   For example, the following block from system.mhs:
+
+        BEGIN opb_uartlite
+                PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_uartlite_0
+                PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.b
+                PARAMETER C_BAUDRATE = 115200
+                PARAMETER C_DATA_BITS = 8
+                PARAMETER C_ODD_PARITY = 0
+                PARAMETER C_USE_PARITY = 0
+                PARAMETER C_CLK_FREQ = 50000000
+                PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xEC100000
+                PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xEC10FFFF
+                BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_7
+                PORT OPB_Clk = CLK_50MHz
+                PORT Interrupt = opb_uartlite_0_Interrupt
+                PORT RX = opb_uartlite_0_RX
+                PORT TX = opb_uartlite_0_TX
+                PORT OPB_Rst = sys_bus_reset_0
+        END
+
+   becomes the following device tree node:
+
+        opb_uartlite_0: serial@ec100000 {
+                device_type = "serial";
+                compatible = "xlnx,opb-uartlite-1.00.b";
+                reg = <ec100000 10000>;
+                interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>;
+                interrupts = <1 0>; // got this from the opb_intc parameters
+                current-speed = <d#115200>;     // standard serial device prop
+                clock-frequency = <d#50000000>; // standard serial device prop
+                xlnx,data-bits = <8>;
+                xlnx,odd-parity = <0>;
+                xlnx,use-parity = <0>;
+        };
+
+   Some IP cores actually implement 2 or more logical devices.  In
+   this case, the device should still describe the whole IP core with
+   a single node and add a child node for each logical device.  The
+   ranges property can be used to translate from parent IP-core to the
+   registers of each device.  In addition, the parent node should be
+   compatible with the bus type 'xlnx,compound', and should contain
+   #address-cells and #size-cells, as with any other bus.  (Note: this
+   makes the assumption that both logical devices have the same bus
+   binding.  If this is not true, then separate nodes should be used
+   for each logical device).  The 'cell-index' property can be used to
+   enumerate logical devices within an IP core.  For example, the
+   following is the system.mhs entry for the dual ps2 controller found
+   on the ml403 reference design.
+
+        BEGIN opb_ps2_dual_ref
+                PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_ps2_dual_ref_0
+                PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.a
+                PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xA9000000
+                PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xA9001FFF
+                BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_v20_0
+                PORT Sys_Intr1 = ps2_1_intr
+                PORT Sys_Intr2 = ps2_2_intr
+                PORT Clkin1 = ps2_clk_rx_1
+                PORT Clkin2 = ps2_clk_rx_2
+                PORT Clkpd1 = ps2_clk_tx_1
+                PORT Clkpd2 = ps2_clk_tx_2
+                PORT Rx1 = ps2_d_rx_1
+                PORT Rx2 = ps2_d_rx_2
+                PORT Txpd1 = ps2_d_tx_1
+                PORT Txpd2 = ps2_d_tx_2
+        END
+
+   It would result in the following device tree nodes:
+
+        opb_ps2_dual_ref_0: opb-ps2-dual-ref@a9000000 {
+                #address-cells = <1>;
+                #size-cells = <1>;
+                compatible = "xlnx,compound";
+                ranges = <0 a9000000 2000>;
+                // If this device had extra parameters, then they would
+                // go here.
+                ps2@0 {
+                        compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a";
+                        reg = <0 40>;
+                        interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>;
+                        interrupts = <3 0>;
+                        cell-index = <0>;
+                };
+                ps2@1000 {
+                        compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a";
+                        reg = <1000 40>;
+                        interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>;
+                        interrupts = <3 0>;
+                        cell-index = <0>;
+                };
+        };
+
+   Also, the system.mhs file defines bus attachments from the processor
+   to the devices.  The device tree structure should reflect the bus
+   attachments.  Again an example; this system.mhs fragment:
+
+        BEGIN ppc405_virtex4

+
+   Gives this device tree (some properties removed for clarity):

+        plb@0 {

+                #size-cells = <1>;

+                                reg = <a00000000 2000>;

+                        };
+                };
+        };
+
+   That covers the general approach to binding xilinx IP cores into the
+   device tree.  The following are bindings for specific devices:
+
+      i) Xilinx ML300 Framebuffer
+
+      Simple framebuffer device from the ML300 reference design (also on the
+      ML403 reference design as well as others).
+
+      Optional properties:
+       - resolution = <xres yres> : pixel resolution of framebuffer.  Some
+                                    implementations use a different resolution.
+                                    Default is <d#640 d#480>
+       - virt-resolution = <xvirt yvirt> : Size of framebuffer in memory.
+                                           Default is <d#1024 d#480>.
+       - rotate-display (empty) : rotate display 180 degrees.
+
+      ii) Xilinx SystemACE
+
+      The Xilinx SystemACE device is used to program FPGAs from an FPGA
+      bitstream stored on a CF card.  It can also be used as a generic CF
+      interface device.
+
+      Optional properties:
+       - 8-bit (empty) : Set this property for SystemACE in 8 bit mode
+
+      iii) Xilinx EMAC and Xilinx TEMAC
+
+      Xilinx Ethernet devices.  In addition to general xilinx properties
+      listed above, nodes for these devices should include a phy-handle
+      property, and may include other common network device properties
+      like local-mac-address.
+
+      iv) Xilinx Uartlite
+
+      Xilinx uartlite devices are simple fixed speed serial ports.
+
+      Required properties:
+       - current-speed : Baud rate of uartlite
+
+      v) Xilinx hwicap
+
+                Xilinx hwicap devices provide access to the configuration logic
+                of the FPGA through the Internal Configuration Access Port
+                (ICAP).  The ICAP enables partial reconfiguration of the FPGA,
+                readback of the configuration information, and some control over
+                'warm boots' of the FPGA fabric.
+
+                Required properties:
+                - xlnx,family : The family of the FPGA, necessary since the
+                      capabilities of the underlying ICAP hardware
+                      differ between different families.  May be
+                      'virtex2p', 'virtex4', or 'virtex5'.
+
+      vi) Xilinx Uart 16550
+
+      Xilinx UART 16550 devices are very similar to the NS16550 but with
+      different register spacing and an offset from the base address.
+
+      Required properties:
+       - clock-frequency : Frequency of the clock input
+       - reg-offset : A value of 3 is required
+       - reg-shift : A value of 2 is required
+
+
