[PATCH v2 1/5] dt-bindings: at24: consistently document the compatible property

From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Thu Dec 21 2017 - 08:50:07 EST


Current description of the compatible property for at24 is quite vague.

Specify an exact list of accepted compatibles and document the - now
deprecated - strings which were previously used in device tree files.

Required properties:

- - compatible : should be "<manufacturer>,<type>", like these:
-
- "atmel,24c00", "atmel,24c01", "atmel,24c02", "atmel,24c04",
- "atmel,24c08", "atmel,24c16", "atmel,24c32", "atmel,24c64",

- "ramtron,24c64"
-
- "renesas,r1ex24002"
-
- The following manufacturers values have been deprecated:
- "at", "at24"

- If there is no specific driver for <manufacturer>, a generic
- device with <type> and manufacturer "atmel" should be used.
- Possible types are:
- "24c00", "24c01", "24c02", "24c04", "24c08", "24c16", "24c32", "24c64",
- "24c128", "24c256", "24c512", "24c1024", "spd"
+ - compatible: must be one of the following:
