[PATCH v4 1/7] coresight: bindings for CPU debug module

Show all headers | View raw

According to ARMv8 architecture reference manual (ARM DDI 0487A.k)
Chapter 'Part H: External debug', the CPU can integrate debug module
and it can support self-hosted debug and external debug. Especially
for supporting self-hosted debug, this means the program can access
the debug module from mmio region; and usually the mmio region is
integrated with coresight.

So add document for binding debug component, includes binding to APB
clock; and also need specify the CPU node which the debug module is
dedicated to specific CPU.

+* CoreSight CPU Debug Component:
+
+CoreSight cpu debug component are compliant with the ARMv8 architecture
+reference manual (ARM DDI 0487A.k) Chapter 'Part H: External debug'. The
+external debug module is mainly used for two modes: self-hosted debug and
+external debug, and it can be accessed from mmio region from Coresight
+and eventually the debug module connects with CPU for debugging. And the
+debug module provides sample-based profiling extension, which can be used
+to sample CPU program counter, secure state and exception level, etc;
+usually every CPU has one dedicated debug module to be connected.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible : should be
+	     * "arm,coresight-cpu-debug"; supplemented with "arm,primecell"
+	       since this driver is using the AMBA bus interface.
+
+- reg : physical base address and length of the register set.
+
+- clocks : the clock associated to this component.
+
+- clock-names : the name of the clock referenced by the code. Since we are
+                using the AMBA framework, the name of the clock providing
+		the interconnect should be "apb_pclk" and the clock is
+		mandatory. The interface between the debug logic and the
+		processor core is clocked by the internal CPU clock, so it
+		is enabled with CPU clock by default.
+
+- cpu : the cpu phandle the debug module is affined to. When omitted
+	the module is considered to belong to CPU0.
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- power-domains: a phandle to power domain node for debug module. We can
+		 use "nohlt" to ensure CPU power domain is enabled.
+
+
+Example:
+
+	debug@f6590000 {
+		compatible = "arm,coresight-cpu-debug","arm,primecell";
+		reg = <0 0xf6590000 0 0x1000>;
+		clocks = <&sys_ctrl HI6220_DAPB_CLK>;
+		clock-names = "apb_pclk";
+		cpu = <&cpu0>;
+	};
