of: Add bindings for chosen node, stdout-path
Add a global binding for the chosen node. Include a description of the stdout-path, and an explicit statement on its extra options in the context of a UART console. Opening description stolen from www.devicetree.org, and part of the remaining text provided by Mark Rutland. Signed-off-by: Leif Lindholm <leif.lindholm@linaro.org> [grant.likely: remove reference to uart_parse_options] Reviewed-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@linaro.org>

The chosen node
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
The chosen node does not represent a real device, but serves as a place
|
||||
for passing data between firmware and the operating system, like boot
|
||||
arguments. Data in the chosen node does not represent the hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
stdout-path property
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Device trees may specify the device to be used for boot console output
|
||||
with a stdout-path property under /chosen, as described in ePAPR, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
/ {
|
||||
chosen {
|
||||
stdout-path = "/serial@f00:115200";
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
serial@f00 {
|
||||
compatible = "vendor,some-uart";
|
||||
reg = <0xf00 0x10>;
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
If the character ":" is present in the value, this terminates the path.
|
||||
The meaning of any characters following the ":" is device-specific, and
|
||||
must be specified in the relevant binding documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
For UART devices, the preferred binding is a string in the form:
|
||||
|
||||
<baud>{<parity>{<bits>{<flow>}}}
|
||||
|
||||
where
|
||||
|
||||
baud - baud rate in decimal
|
||||
parity - 'n' (none), 'o', (odd) or 'e' (even)
|
||||
bits - number of data bits
|
||||
flow - 'r' (rts)
|
||||
|
||||
For example: 115200n8r
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation note: Linux will look for the property "linux,stdout-path" or
|
||||
on PowerPC "stdout" if "stdout-path" is not found. However, the
|
||||
"linux,stdout-path" and "stdout" properties are deprecated. New platforms
|
||||
should only use the "stdout-path" property.
