[PATCH] dt-bindings: at25: convert the binding document to yaml

From: Christian Eggers
Date: Sun Aug 02 2020 - 13:56:09 EST


Convert the binding document for at25 EEPROMs from txt to yaml. The
compatible property doesn't use a regex pattern (as in at24), because
the 'vendor' and the 'model' are an "infinite" list (even if only 5
combinations are found in the current dts files). The settings required
by a driver are given as separate properties.

I think that at24 is very diffrent from at25 here (at least the linux
driver). Whilst the at24 driver extracts parameters of the chip from the
'model' part, at25 gets this information from separate properties.

As there is virtually an infinite list of possible vendors and products
for such type of hardware, is there any value to use expressions like in
the at24 binding?

Other question: What is the meaning of the maintainers field in the
binding? Is it related to the binding itself or the linux driver? I am
not the maintainer of the driver...

-EEPROMs (SPI) compatible with Atmel at25.
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible : Should be "<vendor>,<type>", and generic value "atmel,at25".
- Example "<vendor>,<type>" values:
- "anvo,anv32e61w"
- "microchip,25lc040"
- "st,m95m02"
- "st,m95256"
-
-- reg : chip select number
-- spi-max-frequency : max spi frequency to use
-- pagesize : size of the eeprom page
-- size : total eeprom size in bytes
-- address-width : number of address bits (one of 8, 9, 16, or 24).
- For 9 bits, the MSB of the address is sent as bit 3 of the instruction
- byte, before the address byte.
-
-Optional properties:
-- spi-cpha : SPI shifted clock phase, as per spi-bus bindings.
-- spi-cpol : SPI inverse clock polarity, as per spi-bus bindings.
-- read-only : this parameter-less property disables writes to the eeprom
-- wp-gpios : GPIO to which the write-protect pin of the chip is connected
-
-Obsolete legacy properties can be used in place of "size", "pagesize",
-"address-width", and "read-only":
-- at25,byte-len : total eeprom size in bytes
-- at25,addr-mode : addr-mode flags, as defined in include/linux/spi/eeprom.h
-- at25,page-size : size of the eeprom page
-
-Additional compatible properties are also allowed.
-
-Example:
- eeprom@0 {
- compatible = "st,m95256", "atmel,at25";
- reg = <0>;
- spi-max-frequency = <5000000>;
- spi-cpha;
- spi-cpol;
- wp-gpios = <&gpio1 3 0>;
-
- pagesize = <64>;
- size = <32768>;
- address-width = <16>;
- };
