[PATCH 2/3] dt-bindings: arm: stm32: allow TAMP nvram child node for syscon

From: Patrice Chotard

Date: Thu Sep 10 2026 - 10:29:01 EST


The STM32 TAMP node (compatible "st,stm32-tamp", "syscon", "simple-mfd")
exposes its backup registers through an nvram child node described by
nvmem/st,stm32-tamp-nvram.yaml. That requires the TAMP node to carry
"#address-cells", "#size-cells", "ranges" and an "nvram@..." child.

st,stm32-syscon.yaml uses "additionalProperties: false" and only allowed
reg/clocks/#clock-cells, so wiring the nvram provider into the DTSI made
"make dtbs_check" fail on every STM32MP TAMP node:

tamp@5c00a000 (st,stm32-tamp): '#address-cells', '#size-cells',
'nvram@5c00a100', 'ranges' do not match any of the regexes:
'^pinctrl-[0-9]+$'

Allow the addressing properties and the nvram child, gated on the
st,stm32-tamp compatible so the other syscon variants stay strict.
"#size-cells" may be 1 or 2: the STM32MP21 soc bus uses two size cells
(an empty "ranges" requires the node to match its parent) while the
other STM32MP SoCs use one.
