All the platform-specific hwlock driver implementations need the number of locks and associated base id for registering the locks present within the device with the driver core. This base id needs to be unique across multiple IP instances of a hwspinlock device, so that each hwlock can be represented uniquely in a system. The number of locks is represented by 'hwlock-num-locks' property, and the base id is represented by the 'hwlock-base-id' property. The args specifier length is dependent on each vendor-specific implementation and is represented through the '#hwlock-cells' property. Client users need to use the property 'hwlocks' for requesting specific lock(s). Note that the document is named hwlock.txt deliberately to keep it a bit more generic.

The platform specific bindings should explicitly +state if an optional property is used. Please also look through the individual +platform specific hwlock binding documentations for identifying the applicable +properties. + +Common properties: +- #hwlock-cells: Specifies the number of cells needed to represent a + specific lock. This property is mandatory for all + platform implementations. +- hwlock-num-locks: Number of locks present in a hwlock device. This + property is needed on hwlock devices, where the number + of supported locks within a hwlock device cannot be + read from a register. +- hwlock-base-id: An unique base Id for the locks for a particular hwlock + device.

Example of a node using multiple specific hwlocks: + +The following example has a node requesting two hwlocks, a hwlock within +the hwlock device node 'hwlock1' with #hwlock-cells value of 1, and another +hwlock within the hwlock device node 'hwlock2' with #hwlock-cells value of 2. + + node { + ... + hwlocks = <&hwlock1 2>, <&hwlock2 0 3>; + ... + };
