Hi All,

The Programmable Real-Time Unit and Industrial Communication Subsystem
(PRU-ICSS or simply PRUSS) on various TI SoCs consists of dual 32-bit
RISC cores (Programmable Real-Time Units, or PRUs) for program execution.

There are 3 foundation component for PRUSS subsystem: the PRUSS platform driver,
the PRUSS INTC driver and the PRUSS remoteproc driver. Two first were already
merged and can be found under:
1) drivers/soc/ti/pruss.c
   Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/ti/ti,pruss.yaml
2) drivers/irqchip/irq-pruss-intc.c
   Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/ti,pruss-intc.yaml

The third one [1] was accepted and applied to andersson/remoteproc.git
(refs/heads/for-next): [2] but is not merged yet.

The programmable nature of the PRUs provide flexibility to implement custom
peripheral interfaces, fast real-time responses, or specialized data handling.
Example of a PRU consumer drivers will be:
  - Software UART over PRUSS
  - PRU-ICSS Ethernet EMAC

In order to make usage of common PRU resources and allow the consumer drivers to
configure the PRU hardware for specific usage the PRU API is introduced.

This patch set depends on not merged (but applied to remoteproc/for-next) PRUSS
remoteproc driver [1][2] and two remoteproc related patches [3] and [4].

Thank you - I will change and post v2 but with this I will run into
issues when this binding will be referenced by some consumer YAML
binding. Running dtbs_check in such case throws:
... k3-am654-base-board.dt.yaml: serial@28000: 'ti,prus' does not
match any of the regexes: 'pinctrl-[0-9]+'
In the same time if I will remove this property from that node I am getting:
... k3-am654-base-board.dt.yaml: serial@28000: 'ti,prus' is a required property
as expected.

Getting rid of the comma from this property name workarounds mentioned
problem (which is not proper but allows me to correctly test this
binding): e.g. s/ti,prus/ti-pruss/ or using the previous name without
a comma.
It seems to be an issue with dtbs_check itself which we will encounter
in the future.

Best regards,
Grzegorz

Sounds like you didn't update 'ti,prus' in whatever schema you include
this one from.

If not, can you point me to a branch having this problem.

Sure, here is temporary branch with 4 last commits demonstrating
mentioned issues (when property name contains comma):
https://git.linaro.org/people/grzegorz.jaszczyk/linux.git/log/?h=ti-pruss-binding-issue

The last commit gets rid of the comma from properties names which
successfully w/a the problem.

Please note that those are only TEMP commits which demonstrates the
mentioned issue. I've put error logs with some notes in commit log to
ease understanding what issues are seen when.

Thank you in advance,
Grzegorz

The problem is any property with a vendor prefix has to define a type.
There's not a way to define a 'common vendor property' and distinguish
both cases in the meta-schemas. I'd like to come up with a more robust
mechanism where we just detect if a property has a defined type or
not. It should be possible to extract that. (Related, I also want to
check for conflicting types.)

How many cases of 'ti,prus' do you expect to have and what's the range
of number of phandles? Either you should just not have the common
schema and just define the properties in each consumer or don't put
additional constraints into the consumer schemas (i.e omit the
properties in 'properties' and use 'unevaluatedProperties').

Also, I think you can get rid of 'ti,pruss-gp-mux-sel'. Can't it just
be an arg cell in 'ti,prus' entries?

+1 for using cells instead of a separate property.

FYI, we will have a similar issue with the PRUSSEVTSEL signal for the
interrupt controller on the AM18XX. I am still of the opinion (described
in more detail at [1]) that using a cell for this makes for both better
device tree bindings and easier driver implementation. So I am interested
to see what the resolution is here.
