+   l) 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 miscellanious
+   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)@(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)>;
+        };
+
+        (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 C_BASEADDR parameter.
+        (HW_VER):       from the HW_VER parameter.
+        (size):         equals 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@ec100000 {
+                device_type = "serial";
+                compatible = "xlnx,opb-uartlite-1.00.b";
+                reg = <ec100000 10000>;
+                interrupt-parent = <&opb-intc>;
+                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.
+   (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@a9000000 {
+                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>;
+                        interrupts = <3 0>;
+                        cell-index = <0>;
+                };
+                ps2@1000 {
+                        compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a";
+                        reg = <1000 40>;
+                        interrupt-parent = <&opb-intc>;
+                        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

+                BUS_INTERFACE MOPB = opb_v20_0
+        END
+
+   Gives this device tree (some properties removed for clarity):

+                #size-cells = <1>;

+        };
+
+   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.
+
+      Requred properties:
+       - current-speed : Baud rate of uartlite
+
    More devices will be defined as this spec matures.
 
 VII - Specifying interrupt information for devices
