Subject: [PATCH v9 01/13] dt-bindings: document generic access controllers
From: Oleksii Moisieiev <Oleksii_Moisieiev@...m.com>
Introducing of the generic access controllers bindings for the
access controller provider and consumer devices. Those bindings are
intended to allow a better handling of accesses to resources in a
hardware architecture supporting several compartments.
This patch is based on [1]. It is integrated in this patchset as it
provides a use-case for it.
Diffs with [1]:
- Rename feature-domain* properties to access-control* to narrow
down the scope of the binding
- YAML errors and typos corrected.
- Example updated
- Some rephrasing in the binding description

+ Common access controllers properties
+
+ Access controllers are in charge of stating which of the hardware blocks under
+ their responsibility (their domain) can be accesssed by which compartment. A
+ compartment can be a cluster of CPUs (or coprocessors), a range of addresses
+ or a group of hardware blocks. An access controller's domain is the set of
+ resources covered by the access controller.
+
+ This device tree binding can be used to bind devices to their access
+ controller provided by access-controllers property. In this case, the device
+ is a consumer and the access controller is the provider.
+
+ An access controller can be represented 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 '#access-controller-cells'
+ property in the access controller node.
+
+ Access controllers are typically used to set/read the permissions of a
+ hardware block and grant access to it. Any of which depends on the access
+ controller. The capabilities of each access controller are defined by the
+ binding of the access controller device.
+
+ Each node can be a consumer for the several access controllers.
+
+# always select the core schema
