Add a compatible string for binman, so we can extend fixed-partitions in various ways.

(no changes since v5)
Changes in v5: - Add #address/size-cells and parternProperties - Drop $ref to fixed-partitions.yaml - Drop 'select: false'
Changes in v4: - Change subject line
Changes in v3: - Drop fixed-partition additional compatible string - Drop fixed-partitions from the example - Mention use of compatible instead of label
Changes in v2: - Drop mention of 'enhanced features' in fixed-partitions.yaml - Mention Binman input and output properties - Use plain partition@xxx for the node name

It is based on fixed-partitions, with some + extensions, but uses 'compatible' to indicate the contents of the node, to + avoid perturbing or confusing existing installations which use 'label' for a + particular purpose. + + Binman supports properties used as inputs to the firmware-packaging process, + such as those which control alignment of partitions. This binding addresses + these 'input' properties. For example, it is common for the 'reg' property + (an 'output' property) to be set by Binman, based on the alignment requested + in the input. + + Once processing is complete, input properties have mostly served their + purpose, at least until the firmware is repacked later, e.g. due to a + firmware update. The 'fixed-partitions' binding should provide enough + information to read the firmware at runtime, including decompression if + needed. + + Documentation for Binman is available at: + + https://u-boot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/develop/package/binman.html + + with the current image-description format at: + + https://u-boot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/develop/package/binman.html#image-de... + +properties: + compatible: + const: binman + + "#address-cells": + const: 1 + + "#size-cells": + const: 1 + +patternProperties: + "^partition(-.+|@[0-9a-f]+)$": + $ref: partition.yaml + +additionalProperties: false + +examples: + - | + partitions { + compatible = "binman"; + #address-cells = <1>; + #size-cells = <1>; + + partition@100000 { + label = "u-boot"; + reg = <0x100000 0xf00000>; + }; + }; diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/partitions/partitions.yaml b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/partitions/partitions.yaml index 1dda2c80747b..849fd15d085c 100644 --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/partitions/partitions.yaml +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/partitions/partitions.yaml @@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ maintainers:
