1Spreadtrum ADI controller
2
3ADI is the abbreviation of Anolog-Digital interface, which is used to access
4analog chip (such as PMIC) from digital chip. ADI controller follows the SPI
5framework for its hardware implementation is alike to SPI bus and its timing
6is compatile to SPI timing.
7
8ADI controller has 50 channels including 2 software read/write channels and
948 hardware channels to access analog chip. For 2 software read/write channels,
10users should set ADI registers to access analog chip. For hardware channels,
11we can configure them to allow other hardware components to use it independently,
12which means we can just link one analog chip address to one hardware channel,
13then users can access the mapped analog chip address by this hardware channel
14triggered by hardware components instead of ADI software channels.
15
16Thus we introduce one property named "sprd,hw-channels" to configure hardware
17channels, the first value specifies the hardware channel id which is used to
18transfer data triggered by hardware automatically, and the second value specifies
19the analog chip address where user want to access by hardware components.
20
21Since we have multi-subsystems will use unique ADI to access analog chip, when
22one system is reading/writing data by ADI software channels, that should be under
23one hardware spinlock protection to prevent other systems from reading/writing
24data by ADI software channels at the same time, or two parallel routine of setting
25ADI registers will make ADI controller registers chaos to lead incorrect results.
26Then we need one hardware spinlock to synchronize between the multiple subsystems.
27
28The new version ADI controller supplies multiple master channels for different
29subsystem accessing, that means no need to add hardware spinlock to synchronize,
30thus change the hardware spinlock support to be optional to keep backward
31compatibility.
32
33Required properties:
34- compatible: Should be "sprd,sc9860-adi".
35- reg: Offset and length of ADI-SPI controller register space.
36- #address-cells: Number of cells required to define a chip select address
37	on the ADI-SPI bus. Should be set to 1.
38- #size-cells: Size of cells required to define a chip select address size
39	on the ADI-SPI bus. Should be set to 0.
40
41Optional properties:
42- hwlocks: Reference to a phandle of a hwlock provider node.
43- hwlock-names: Reference to hwlock name strings defined in the same order
44	as the hwlocks, should be "adi".
45- sprd,hw-channels: This is an array of channel values up to 49 channels.
46	The first value specifies the hardware channel id which is used to
47	transfer data triggered by hardware automatically, and the second
48	value specifies the analog chip address where user want to access
49	by hardware components.
50
51SPI slave nodes must be children of the SPI controller node and can contain
52properties described in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt.

54Example:
55	adi_bus: spi@40030000 {
56		compatible = "sprd,sc9860-adi";
57		reg = <0 0x40030000 0 0x10000>;
58		hwlocks = <&hwlock1 0>;
59		hwlock-names = "adi";
60		#address-cells = <1>;
61		#size-cells = <0>;
62		sprd,hw-channels = <30 0x8c20>;
63	};
