      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 - spi-half-duplex  - (optional) Indicates that the SPI bus should wait for
     63 		      a header byte before reading data from the slave.
     64 
     65 Some SPI controllers and devices support Dual and Quad SPI transfer mode.
     66 It allows data in SPI system transferred in 2 wires(DUAL) or 4 wires(QUAD).
     67 Now the value that spi-tx-bus-width and spi-rx-bus-width can receive is
     68 only 1(SINGLE), 2(DUAL) and 4(QUAD).
     69 Dual/Quad mode is not allowed when 3-wire mode is used.
     70 
     71 If a gpio chipselect is used for the SPI slave the gpio number will be passed
     72 via the cs_gpio
     73 
     74 SPI example for an MPC5200 SPI bus:
     75 	spi@f00 {
     76 		#address-cells = <1>;
     77 		#size-cells = <0>;
     78 		compatible = "fsl,mpc5200b-spi","fsl,mpc5200-spi";
     79 		reg = <0xf00 0x20>;
     80 		interrupts = <2 13 0 2 14 0>;
     81 		interrupt-parent = <&mpc5200_pic>;
     82 
     83 		ethernet-switch@0 {
     84 			compatible = "micrel,ks8995m";
     85 			spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
     86 			reg = <0>;
     87 		};
     88 
     89 		codec@1 {
     90 			compatible = "ti,tlv320aic26";
     91 			spi-max-frequency = <100000>;
     92 			reg = <1>;
     93 		};
     94 	};
