  1 +SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) busses
  2 +
  3 +SPI busses can be described with a node for the SPI master device
  4 +and a set of child nodes for each SPI slave on the bus. For this
  5 +discussion, it is assumed that the system's SPI controller is in
  6 +SPI master mode. This binding does not describe SPI controllers
  7 +in slave mode.
  8 +
  9 +The SPI master node requires the following properties:
  10 +- #address-cells - number of cells required to define a chip select
  11 + address on the SPI bus.
  12 +- #size-cells - should be zero.
  13 +- compatible - name of SPI bus controller following generic names
  14 + recommended practice.
  15 +- cs-gpios - (optional) gpios chip select.
  16 +No other properties are required in the SPI bus node. It is assumed
  17 +that a driver for an SPI bus device will understand that it is an SPI bus.
  18 +However, the binding does not attempt to define the specific method for
  19 +assigning chip select numbers. Since SPI chip select configuration is
  20 +flexible and non-standardized, it is left out of this binding with the
  21 +assumption that board specific platform code will be used to manage
  22 +chip selects. Individual drivers can define additional properties to
  23 +support describing the chip select layout.
  24 +
  25 +Optional property:
  26 +- num-cs : total number of chipselects
  27 +
  28 +If cs-gpios is used the number of chip select will automatically increased
  29 +with max(cs-gpios > hw cs)
  30 +
  31 +So if for example the controller has 2 CS lines, and the cs-gpios
  32 +property looks like this:
  33 +
  34 +cs-gpios = <&gpio1 0 0> <0> <&gpio1 1 0> <&gpio1 2 0>;
  35 +
  36 +Then it should be configured so that num_chipselect = 4 with the
  37 +following mapping:
  38 +
  39 +cs0 : &gpio1 0 0
  40 +cs1 : native
  41 +cs2 : &gpio1 1 0
  42 +cs3 : &gpio1 2 0
  43 +
  44 +SPI slave nodes must be children of the SPI master node and can
  45 +contain the following properties.
  46 +- reg - (required) chip select address of device.
  47 +- compatible - (required) name of SPI device following generic names
  48 + recommended practice
  49 +- spi-max-frequency - (required) Maximum SPI clocking speed of device in Hz
  50 +- spi-cpol - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
  51 + inverse clock polarity (CPOL) mode
  52 +- spi-cpha - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
  53 + shifted clock phase (CPHA) mode
  54 +- spi-cs-high - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
  55 + chip select active high
  56 +- spi-3wire - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
  57 + 3-wire mode.
  58 +- spi-tx-bus-width - (optional) The bus width(number of data wires) that
  59 + used for MOSI. Defaults to 1 if not present.
  60 +- spi-rx-bus-width - (optional) The bus width(number of data wires) that
  61 + used for MISO. Defaults to 1 if not present.
  62 +
  63 +Some SPI controllers and devices support Dual and Quad SPI transfer mode.
  64 +It allows data in SPI system transfered in 2 wires(DUAL) or 4 wires(QUAD).
  65 +Now the value that spi-tx-bus-width and spi-rx-bus-width can receive is
  66 +only 1(SINGLE), 2(DUAL) and 4(QUAD).
  67 +Dual/Quad mode is not allowed when 3-wire mode is used.
  68 +
  69 +If a gpio chipselect is used for the SPI slave the gpio number will be passed
  70 +via the cs_gpio
  71 +
  72 +SPI example for an MPC5200 SPI bus:
  73 + spi@f00 {
  74 + #address-cells = <1>;
  75 + #size-cells = <0>;
  76 + compatible = "fsl,mpc5200b-spi","fsl,mpc5200-spi";
  77 + reg = <0xf00 0x20>;
  78 + interrupts = <2 13 0 2 14 0>;
  79 + interrupt-parent = <&mpc5200_pic>;
  80 +
  81 + ethernet-switch@0 {
  82 + compatible = "micrel,ks8995m";
  83 + spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
  84 + reg = <0>;
  85 + };
  86 +
  87 + codec@1 {
  88 + compatible = "ti,tlv320aic26";
  89 + spi-max-frequency = <100000>;
  90 + reg = <1>;
  91 + };
  92 + };
