Why not using SoC based compatible? It is preferred.

You need to describe the items.

Why this cannot be inferred from the compatible? Different boards with

Hi Krzysztof:

So far, from the datasheet, I know that only the EXIOINTC of the
Loongson-2K0500 is different from the other chips, and that is the
"loongson,eio-num-vecs" below, which is 128, while all the others are
256.
My original idea was to add this property to make compatible
consistent, and also to make it easier to add new chips if they have
different eio-num-vecs.

We talk about different things. SoC based compatibles are preferred over
version ones. This was on the lists expressed many times. Please provide
a reason why you deviate from general recommendation. Flexibility and
genericness of bindings is not a reason - it's the opposite of the
argument, thus this will be a: NAK. :(

I mean constraints on interrupts and/or description if they are not obvious.

Why do you need this if there is only 1 interrupt?

Actually I noticed that for interrupts you provided the name, so it is
description and you just need maxItems:1.

The reg however need list of items which clearly documents what is there.

Hi Krzysztof:

Allow me to give a brief overview of the current status of eiointc (DT-based):
Loongson-3A series supports eiointc;
Loongson-2K1000 does not support eiointc now;
Loongson-2K0500 supports eiointc, with differences from
Loongson-3, e.g. only up to 128 devices are supported;
Loongson-2K2000 supports eiointc, similar to Loongson-3.
....

As can be seen, there is now a bit of confusion in the chip's design of eiointc.

The design of eiointc is probably refined step by step with the chip.
The same version of eiointc can be used for multiple chips, and the
same chip series may also use different versions of eiointc. Low-end
chips may use eiointc-2.0, and high-end chips may use eiointc-1.0,
depending on the time it's produced.

So in the Loongson-2K series I have defined the current state as
eiointc-1.0, using the dts property to indicate the maximum number of
devices supported by eiointc that can be used directly in the driver.

If there are new changes to the design later on, such as the
definition of registers, we can call it eiointc-2.0, which can also
cover more than one chip.

Thanks.

Just go with SoC-based compatibles. If your version is not specific
enough, then it is not a good way to represent the hardware.

EIOINTC is a bit like the existing LIOINTC which is already use
version to represent hardware.

Heh, so why did you go with version in compatible for liointc if it also
does not match it correctly?

Hi Krzysztof:

I have tried to write the following SoC-based compatibles, is it fine?

compatible:
enum:
- loongson,ls3a-eiointc # For MIPS Loongson-3A if necessary.
- loongson,ls2k0500-eiointc
- loongson,ls2k200-eiointc
....
Also remove the 'loongson,eio-num-vecs' property.

Thanks.

Looks good, but didn't you state these are compatible between each
other? I have impression there is a common set, so maybe one compatible
work on other device with reduced number of devices?

So far, the difference between ls2k SOCs is the number of devices
supported by eiointc.

Do you mean use unified compatible and reuse loongson,eio-num-vecs?

Would this be possible, e.g.
compatible:
const: loongson,ls2k-eiointc

loongson,eio-num-vecs:
description:
The number of devices supported by the extended I/O interrupt vector.
$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
minimum: 1
maximum: 256

No. I meant that maybe all these three should have been made compatible.
