Subject: [PATCH] dt-bindings: pmem: Convert binding to YAML
Date: Mon, 19 May 2025 19:14:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250520021440.24324-1-drew@pdp7.com> (raw)
Convert the PMEM device tree binding from text to YAML. This will allow
device trees with pmem-region nodes to pass dtbs_check.

-Device-tree bindings for persistent memory regions
------------------------------------------------------
-
-Persistent memory refers to a class of memory devices that are:
-
- a) Usable as main system memory (i.e. cacheable), and
- b) Retain their contents across power failure.
-
-Given b) it is best to think of persistent memory as a kind of memory mapped
-storage device. To ensure data integrity the operating system needs to manage
-persistent regions separately to the normal memory pool. To aid with that this
-binding provides a standardised interface for discovering where persistent
-memory regions exist inside the physical address space.
-
-Bindings for the region nodes:
------------------------------
-
-Required properties:
- - compatible = "pmem-region"
-
- - reg = <base, size>;
- The reg property should specify an address range that is
- translatable to a system physical address range. This address
- range should be mappable as normal system memory would be
- (i.e cacheable).
-
- If the reg property contains multiple address ranges
- each address range will be treated as though it was specified
- in a separate device node. Having multiple address ranges in a
- node implies no special relationship between the two ranges.
-
-Optional properties:
- - Any relevant NUMA associativity properties for the target platform.
-
- - volatile; This property indicates that this region is actually
- backed by non-persistent memory. This lets the OS know that it
- may skip the cache flushes required to ensure data is made
- persistent after a write.
-
- If this property is absent then the OS must assume that the region
- is backed by non-volatile memory.
-
-Examples:
---------------------
-
- /*
- * This node specifies one 4KB region spanning from
- * 0x5000 to 0x5fff that is backed by non-volatile memory.
- */
- pmem@5000 {
- compatible = "pmem-region";
- reg = <0x00005000 0x00001000>;
- };
-
- /*
- * This node specifies two 4KB regions that are backed by
- * volatile (normal) memory.
- */
- pmem@6000 {
- compatible = "pmem-region";
- reg = < 0x00006000 0x00001000
- 0x00008000 0x00001000 >;
- volatile;
- };
