Introducing the feature domain controller provider/consumenr bindngs which
allow to divided system on chip into multiple feature domains that
can be used to select by who hardware blocks could be accessed.
A feature-domain could be a cluster of CPUs, a group of hardware blocks or
the set of devices, passed-through to the Guest in the virtualized systems.
Feature domains controllers are typically used to set the permissions of
the hardware block. The contents of the feature domain configuration
properties are defined by the binding for the individual
feature domain controller device.
The feature device controller conception in the virtualized systems is to
set the device configuration for SCMI (System Control and Management
Interface) which controls clocks/power-domains/resets etc from the
Firmware. This configuratio sets the device_id to set the device
permissions for the Firmware using BASE_SET_DEVICE_PERMISSIONS
message (see 4.2.2.10 of [0]).
There is no BASE_GET_DEVICE_PERMISSIONS call in SCMI and the way to
determine device_id is not covered by the specification.
Device permissions management described in DEN 0056, Section 4.2.2.10 [0].
Given parameter should set the device_id, needed to set device
permissions in the Firmware.
This property is used by trusted Agent (which is hypervisor in our case)
to set permissions for the devices, passed-through to the non-trusted
Agents. Trusted Agent will use device-perms to set the Device
permissions for the Firmware (See Section 4.2.2.10 [0] for details).
Agents concept is described in Section 4.2.1 [0].
Feature-Domains in Device-tree node example:
usb@e6590000
{
feature-domains = <&scmi 19>; //Set domain id 19 to usb node
feature-domain-names = "scmi";
clocks = <&scmi_clock 3>, <&scmi_clock 2>;
resets = <&scmi_reset 10>, <&scmi_reset 9>;
power-domains = <&scmi_power 0>;
};
&scmi {
feature-domain-controller;
#feature-domain-cells = <1>;
}
All mentioned bindings are going to be processed by XEN SCMI mediator
feature, which is responsible to redirect SCMI calls from guests to the
firmware, and not going be passed to the guests.
Feature-domain-controller provider/consumenr concept was taken from the bus
controller framework patch series, provided in the following thread:
[1].
I think we can cooperate with the bus controller framework developers
and produce the common binding, which will fit the requirements of both
features
Also, I think that binding can also be used for STM32 ETZPC bus
controller feature, proposed in the following thread: [2].
Looking forward for your thoughts and ideas.

Changes v1 -> V2:
- update parameter name, made it xen-specific
- add xen vendor bindings
Changes V2 -> V3:
- update parameter name, make it generic
- update parameter format, add link to controller
- do not include xen vendor bindings as already upstreamed
Changes V3 -> V4:
- introduce domain controller provider/consumer device tree bindings
- making scmi node to act as domain controller provider when the
device permissions should be configured
Changes V4 -> V5:
- rename domain-controller to feature-domain-controller
- feature-domains format fixes
Changes V5 -> V6:
- formatting fixes

Introducing of the common device controller bindings for the controller
provider and consumer devices. Those bindings are intended to allow
divided system on chip into muliple domains, that can be used to
configure hardware permissions.

+ Common Feature Domains Controller bindings properties
+
+ Domain controllers allow to divided system on chip into multiple feature
+ domains that can be used to select by who hardware blocks could be accessed.
+ A feature domain could be a cluster of CPUs (or coprocessors), a range of
+ addresses or a group of hardware blocks.
+
+ This device tree bindings can be used to bind feature domain consumer devices
+ with their feature domains provided by feature-domains controllers.
+ Feature omain controller provider can be represened by any node in the
+ device tree and can provide one or more configuration parameters, needed to
+ control parameters of the consumer device. A consumer node can refer to the
+ provider by phandle and a set of phandle arguments, specified by
+ '#feature-domain-cells' property in the device controller provider node.
+
+ Device controllers are typically used to set the permissions of the hardware
+ block. The contents of the feature-domains configuration properties are
+ defined by the binding for the individual feature-domains controller device.
+
+ Each node can be a consumer for the several providers. The first
+ configuration of 'feature-domains' or the one named 'default' is applied
+ before probing the device itself.
+
+# always select the core schema
+select: true

Hello,
There were typo in the cover letter subject. Patch series are related to
v6, not v4. I've fixed Subject in this letter.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks,
Oleksii.
