[PATCH v3 1/1] dt-bindings: Add device-perms property description
From: Oleksii Moisieiev
Date: Thu May 05 2022 - 12:03:21 EST
Document device-perms property which is intended to set the device
permissions for the System Management interfaces.
An example of this interface is SCMI (System Control and Management
Interface) which controls clocks/power-domains/resets etc from the
Firmware. This property sets the device_id to set the device permissions
for the Fimware using BASE_SET_DEVICE_PERMISSIONS message (see 4.2.2.10 of [0]).
Device permissions management described in DEN 0056, Section 4.2.2.10 [0].
For SCMI this property is used by Trusted Agent to set the device permissions
for the Non-Trusted Agents.
Trusted and non-trusted Agent terms described in Section 4.1.1 [0].

Changes V1 -> V2:
- update parameter name, made it xen-specific
- add xen vendor bindings
Changes V2 -> V3:
- update parameter name, make it generic
- update parameter format, add link to controller
- do not include xen vendor bindings as already upstreamed

+ The provided property is intendend to set the device permissions for the
+ System Management interfaces.
+ An expample of such interface is SCMI (System Control and Management
+ Interface) which manages the device permissions via SCMI protocol in the
+ Firmware. Binding provides ID for each related device which should match
+ device ids, defined in the Firmware so the device permissions
+ can be requested by sending BASE_SET_DEVICE_PERMISSIONS (see 4.2.2.10 of [0]).
+
+ For SCMI this property is used by Trusted Agent to set the device permissions
+ for the Non-Trusted Agents.
