1 | * Texas Instruments OMAP | ||
2 | |||
3 | OMAP is currently using a static file per SoC family to describe the | ||
4 | IPs present in the SoC. | ||
5 | On top of that an omap_device is created to extend the platform_device | ||
6 | capabilities and to allow binding with one or several hwmods. | ||
7 | The hwmods will contain all the information to build the device: | ||
8 | adresse range, irq lines, dma lines, interconnect, PRCM register, | ||
9 | clock domain, input clocks. | ||
10 | For the moment just point to the existing hwmod, the next step will be | ||
11 | to move data from hwmod to device-tree representation. | ||
12 | |||
13 | |||
14 | Required properties: | ||
15 | - compatible: Every devices present in OMAP SoC should be in the | ||
16 | form: "ti,XXX" | ||
17 | - ti,hwmods: list of hwmod names (ascii strings), that comes from the OMAP | ||
18 | HW documentation, attached to a device. Must contain at least | ||
19 | one hwmod. | ||
