[PATCH v8 1/4] dt-bindings: i2c: qcom,i2c-geni: Document multi-owner controller support
From: Mukesh Kumar Savaliya
Date: Wed Jul 08 2026 - 01:12:58 EST
Document a DeviceTree property to describe QUP-based I2C controllers that
are shared with one or more other system processors.
On some Qualcomm platforms, a QUP-based I2C controller may be accessed by
multiple system processors (for example, APPS and DSP). In such
configurations, the operating system must not assume exclusive ownership
of the controller or its associated hardware resources.
The new qcom,qup-multi-owner property indicates that the controller is
externally shared and that the operating system must avoid operations
which rely on sole control of the hardware.
