[PATCH v2 1/3] dt-bindings: i3c: xlnx: Add IBI and hot-join capability properties

From: Shubham Patil

Date: Mon Aug 24 2026 - 00:49:21 EST


In-Band Interrupt and Hot-Join are synthesis-time options of the AXI I3C
IP. Describe them with two boolean properties.

A Hot-Join request is acknowledged by the IBI machinery, so a hot-join
capable design is always IBI capable as well. Both events are reported
through the controller interrupt, which is therefore required whenever
the capability is present.

Changes in V2:
- Rename the properties to "xlnx,in-band-interrupt-capable" and
"xlnx,hot-join-capable", and expand their descriptions.
- Express the interrupt requirement with dependencies: instead of an
allOf/if-then clause.
