1 Generic device tree bindings for I2C busses
2 ===========================================
4 This document describes generic bindings which can be used to describe I2C
5 busses in a device tree.
10 - #address-cells - should be <1>. Read more about addresses below.
11 - #size-cells - should be <0>.
12 - compatible - name of I2C bus controller following generic names
15 For other required properties e.g. to describe register sets,
16 clocks, etc. check the binding documentation of the specific driver.
18 The cells properties above define that an address of children of an I2C bus
19 are described by a single value. This is usually a 7 bit address. However,
20 flags can be attached to the address. I2C_TEN_BIT_ADDRESS is used to mark a 10
21 bit address. It is needed to avoid the ambiguity between e.g. a 7 bit address
22 of 0x50 and a 10 bit address of 0x050 which, in theory, can be on the same bus.
23 Another flag is I2C_OWN_SLAVE_ADDRESS to mark addresses on which we listen to
29 These properties may not be supported by all drivers. However, if a driver
30 wants to support one of the below features, it should adapt the bindings below.
33 frequency of bus clock in Hz.
36 For I2C adapters that have child nodes that are a mixture of both I2C
37 devices and non-I2C devices, the 'i2c-bus' subnode can be used for
38 populating I2C devices. If the 'i2c-bus' subnode is present, only
39 subnodes of this will be considered as I2C slaves. The properties,
40 '#address-cells' and '#size-cells' must be defined under this subnode
43 - i2c-scl-falling-time-ns
44 Number of nanoseconds the SCL signal takes to fall; t(f) in the I2C
47 - i2c-scl-internal-delay-ns
48 Number of nanoseconds the IP core additionally needs to setup SCL.
50 - i2c-scl-rising-time-ns
51 Number of nanoseconds the SCL signal takes to rise; t(r) in the I2C
54 - i2c-sda-falling-time-ns
55 Number of nanoseconds the SDA signal takes to fall; t(f) in the I2C
59 interrupts used by the device.
62 "irq" and "wakeup" names are recognized by I2C core, other names are
63 left to individual drivers.
66 device uses SMBus host notify protocol instead of interrupt line.
69 states that there is another master active on this bus. The OS can use
70 this information to adapt power management to keep the arbitration awake
71 all the time, for example.
74 device can be used as a wakeup source.
80 Names of map programmable addresses.
81 It can contain any map needing another address than default one.
83 Binding may contain optional "interrupts" property, describing interrupts
84 used by the device. I2C core will assign "irq" interrupt (or the very first
85 interrupt if not using interrupt names) as primary interrupt for the slave.
87 Alternatively, devices supporting SMbus Host Notify, and connected to
88 adapters that support this feature, may use "host-notify" property. I2C
89 core will create a virtual interrupt for Host Notify and assign it as
90 primary interrupt for the slave.
92 Also, if device is marked as a wakeup source, I2C core will set up "wakeup"
93 interrupt for the device. If "wakeup" interrupt name is not present in the
94 binding, then primary interrupt will be used as wakeup interrupt.
