Adding the device tree entries and bindings needed to support
the Altera L2 cache and On-Chip RAM EDAC. This patch relies upon
an earlier patch to declare and setup On-chip RAM properly.

v2: Remove OCRAM declaration and reference prior patch.
v3-5: No Change
v6: Change to nested EDAC device nodes based on community
feedback. Remove L2 syscon. Use consolidated binding.

+Altera SoCFPGA Error Detection and Correction [EDAC]
+
+Required Properties:
+- compatible : Should be "altr,edac"
Is there a single large EDAC block that happens to perform EDAC
functions for various components, or various small EDAC blocks that
happen to be close to each other in the MMIO space?
There is a sequential grouping of ECC registers containing IP specific
ECC enable and ECC error injection bits. A number of these registers
have the same bit definitions but a few such as L2 cache are different.
If I understand your question, I'd characterize these as various small
EDAC blocks that happen to be close to each other in the MMIO space.
There is no master - these IP memories are meant to be individually enabled.
+- #address-cells: must be 1
+- #size-cells: must be 1
+- ranges : standard definition, should translate from local addresses
Surely these just need to be suitable for mapping the child nodes, and
you shouldn't care about their precise values?
If you are saying that I place the base address in the parent and then
just include the offset from the parent registers [0 for L2 cache and 4
for OCRAM] in each child then I'll need to research how to do that. I
think our clock manager may do this.

+Subcomponents:
+
+L2 Cache ECC
+Required Properties:
+- compatible : Should be "altr,l2-edac"
+- reg : Address and size for ECC error interrupt clear registers.
+- interrupts : Should be single bit error interrupt, then double bit error
+ interrupt. Note the rising edge type.
+
+On Chip RAM ECC
+Required Properties:
+- compatible : Should be "altr,ocram-edac"
+- reg : Address and size for ECC error interrupt clear registers.
+- iram : phandle to On-Chip RAM definition.
+- interrupts : Should be single bit error interrupt, then double bit error
+ interrupt. Note the rising edge type.
Do these actually differ in programming interface, or just w.r.t. the
component they are used to monitor?
The interface is similar but the bit definitions for ECC Enable and bit
injection are different between these two IPs. However, these
differences are taken care of with different const data structures in
altera_edac.c.
It would be good to have an explicit link to what they monitor rather
than relying on there being single instances with particular compatible
strings. That will make this easier to generalise for multiple instances
in future SoCs that may reuse the EDAC block.
You're suggesting a phandle to the L2 cache similar to the phandle the
OCRAM uses? The probe function would then grab the appropriate const
data structure based on where the phandle pointed, correct?
This doesn't look too bad, but I'd like to hear some response to this
and my other queries before I can say whether this is a good way of
describing the hardware; it all looks a bit vague.
As an aside, please place the documentation at the start of the series,
before the driver rework. The dts patches can come after the docs and
code patches.
I will do that. Thanks for reviewing.
Thanks,
Mark.
