| |
These patches add support to configure on-chip SRAM via device-tree node and to obtain the resulting genalloc pool from a phandle pointing at the node. This allows drivers to allocate SRAM with the genalloc API without hard-coding the genalloc pool address.
The on-chip SRAM on i.MX53 and i.MX6q is registered via device tree and changed to use the simple generic SRAM driver:
ocram: ocram@00900000 { compatible = "fsl,imx-ocram", "sram"; reg = <0x00900000 0x3f000>; };
A driver that needs to allocate SRAM buffers, like the video processing unit on i.MX53, can retrieve the genalloc pool from a phandle in the device tree using of_get_named_gen_pool(node, "iram", 0) from patch 5:
vpu@63ff4000 { /* ... */ iram = <&ocram>; };
Changes since v2, as per Shawn's suggestions: - Moved struct device_node declaration out of #ifdef CONFIG_OF. - Simplified of_get_named_gen_pool using of_parse_phandle and of_address_to_resource. - Return -EADDRNOTAVAIL if devm_request_and_ioremap fails. - Squashed i.MX changes together.
