| Devicetree binding for regmap |
| |
| Optional properties: |
| |
| little-endian, |
| big-endian, |
| native-endian: See common-properties.txt for a definition |
| |
| Note: |
| Regmap defaults to little-endian register access on MMIO based |
| devices, this is by far the most common setting. On CPU |
| architectures that typically run big-endian operating systems |
| (e.g. PowerPC), registers can be defined as big-endian and must |
| be marked that way in the devicetree. |
| |
| On SoCs that can be operated in both big-endian and little-endian |
| modes, with a single hardware switch controlling both the endianness |
| of the CPU and a byteswap for MMIO registers (e.g. many Broadcom MIPS |
| chips), "native-endian" is used to allow using the same device tree |
| blob in both cases. |
| |
| Examples: |
| Scenario 1 : a register set in big-endian mode. |
| dev: dev@40031000 { |
| compatible = "syscon"; |
| reg = <0x40031000 0x1000>; |
| big-endian; |
| ... |
| }; |
