Subject[PATCH v5 0/4] Add generic driver for on-chip SRAM
Date
These patches add support to configure on-chip SRAM via device-tree
node or platform data and to obtain the resulting genalloc pool from
the physical address or a phandle pointing at the device tree node.
This allows drivers to allocate SRAM with the genalloc API without
hard-coding the genalloc pool pointer.

The on-chip SRAM on i.MX53 and i.MX6q can be registered via device tree
and changed to use the simple generic SRAM driver:

ocram: ocram@00900000 {
compatible = "fsl,imx-ocram", "sram";
reg = <0x00900000 0x3f000>;
alloc-order = <12>;
};

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 1:

vpu@63ff4000 {
/* ... */
iram = <&ocram>;
};

Changes since v4:
- Added Matt Porter's patch to configure alloc order, so that the driver
can be used for TI Davinci.
- Removed device tree patches as those should go through the ARM SoC tree.

regards
Philipp
