Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: mfd: syscon: Add img,boston-platform-regs

This compatible has been used in arch/mips/boot/dts/img/boston.dts
for a while but never documented properly.

Add it to simple syscon binding.

We certainly want subnodes of system-controller node to
be populated, add simple-mfd compatible to make that happen.

It is documented in clock/img,boston-clock.txt. Please fix/convert/work
on that.

No, that's different device.

Anyway, this is wrong - does no work with your second patch. Please test
them before sending.

You need proper, dedicated schema.

Hi Krzysztof,

Do you mind telling dumb as me how to test bindings properly?

I tried to run make check_dtbs after applying this patch and that's all
the warnings I got:
```
arch/mips/boot/dts/img/boston.dtb: Warning (interrupt_map): Failed prerequisite 'interrupt_provider'
/home/flygoat/linux-next/arch/mips/boot/dts/img/boston.dtb: /: 'model' is a required property

arch/mips/boot/dts/img/boston.dtb: /: failed to match any schema with compatible: ['img,boston']

from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/serial/8250.yaml#
```

I think there is no new warning introduced by this patch.
Did I miss anything here?

Thanks

Indeed there might be no warning for this, because syscon allows a lot,
including children. You need custom binding anyway.

Hi Krzysztof,

I really don't understand the reason behind having a custom binding for
such device. It even doesn't have a driver and purely rely on generic
syscon regmap to work.

I can see devices like mediatek,mt8365-syscfg being described by simple
binding have a similar nature, they all describe a register bank and with
serval sub nodes to describe devices being instanced under that register
block.

What makes img,boston-platform-regs special here?

Thanks

Nothing is special here, I am in writing a patchset which will fix this
up and all will be treated similarly.

Bindings for devices should be specific, which then allows to see that
you do not have dependency of children on the parent, and your current
patch allows basically anything as a child. It allows also an
dependency, even if you did not code it.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
