Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] ARM: NSP: add minimal Northstar Plus device tree

Add a very minimalistic set of Northstar Plus Device Tree files which
describes the SoC and the BCM958625 implementation. The perpherials
described are:

ARM Cortex A9 CPU
2 8250 UARTs
ARM GIC
PL310 L2 Cache
ARM A9 Global timer

Should "arm,amba-bus" has a separate bus node with AMBA compatible
devices declared in there (e.g, pl330, spi-pl022, and etc.) in the
future after they are brought up? To my best knowledge, "ns16550a" UART
is NOT an AMBA compatible device.

Does the 'apb' bus mean to cover all peripherals connected through APB?
If so, the size is only 0x1000 and that seems to be too small...

APB is an AMBA bus, so this part is accurate. The block diagram of
the SoC has the UARTs (and other perpherials) hanging off of the APB
bus. So, this organization follows the block diagram. While the
UART drivers are not AMBA aware, there appears to be no issues with
this layout (as the HW/drivers come up without issue). Unless there
is an unforeseen issue with having non-AMBA aware devices on the DT
AMBA bus, I would think it best to organize it to match the block
disgram.

This is all that is currently needed. I was planning on expanding it
as I added more devices.

Okay so the "apb" node can be used for amba compatible devices
(arm,amba-bus) and/or simple platform devices (simple-bus). I guess
that's fine and I now see that there are some other dtsi also doing it
this way.

UART runs fine because you also have "simple-bus" listed as the
compatible string so uart is populated as standard platform device.

Sure.

I haven't checked the datahsheet but based on the layout (which seems
quite similar to Cygnus), I assume the range for these devices should be
0x18000000 - 0x18ffffff? Just want to make sure there are no other
devices come before 0x18000000 so you don't need to change all these reg
offsets in the future.

Based on the devices listed in the block diagram (and not including
those on the AXI bus):
i2c 0x18038000
spi 0x18027200
gpio 0x18000060
pwm 0x18031000
wdt 0x18039000

and a few others.

Looking at the sources, all the ARM IP is 0x19000000 and the rest is
0x18000000. The only part that is a little harry is the clocks, which
have BCM and ARM (which causes the addresses to be both 0x19000000 and
0x18000000). But, we can handle that when we upstream that part (which
should be very soon).

IIRC, "arm,amba-bus" is not documented nor used. It isn't really
needed as there is no s/w visible feature to an AMBA bus. There are
also multiple flavors of AMBA buses, so it is pretty meaningless.

I think what is meant here by "amba compatible devices" is really ARM
Primecell peripherals which are the ARM IP with standard ID registers.
These are designated by "arm,primecell" compatible strings for the
device not the bus compatible string.

If you can tell that 0x19000000 is a separate bus at some level, then
it makes sense to separate it. You can't always tell without detailed
internal bus diagrams.

Okay, based on this and the comments above, I'll remove all references
to the amba bus and just make a simple bus called AXI (off which all
of the prepherials will be located).
