[PATCH v7 1/3] dt-bindings: i3c: Add support for Qualcomm I3C controller

From: Mukesh Kumar Savaliya

Date: Wed Nov 04 2026 - 07:25:17 EST


Add device tree bindings for the Qualcomm GENI-based I3C controller.

The controller supports I3C SDR transfers in mixed-bus mode with both I2C
and I3C target devices present on the same bus. The binding describes the
I3C controller instance along with its associated In-Band Interrupt (IBI)
controller used for handling I3C target IBI events.

Document the required resources, interrupts, clocks, and dependencies
needed to represent the hardware in device tree.

+description:
+ Qualcomm GENI-based I3C controller implementing an MIPI I3C bus master.
+ The controller supports SDR transfers in mixed bus mode with both I2C and
+ I3C target devices present on the same bus.
+
+ The controller consists of a GENI Serial Engine (SE) responsible for I3C
+ bus transactions and an associated dedicated IBI controller(IBI_C) block
+ used for Hot-Join, In-Band Interrupt (IBI) handling and management of GPII
+ resources associated with the I3C controller.
+
+ I3C controller nodes must be child nodes of a GENI-based Qualcomm Universal
+ Peripheral(QUP) wrapper. Refer to the GENI QUP wrapper binding described in
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/qcom/qcom,geni-se.yaml.
