[v3,02/23] dt-bindings: ata: ahci-platform: Detach common AHCI bindings

In order to create a more sophisticated AHCI controller DT bindings let's
divide the already available generic AHCI platform YAML schema into the
platform part and a set of the common AHCI properties. The former part
will be used to evaluate the AHCI DT nodes mainly compatible with the
generic AHCI controller while the later schema will be used for more
thorough AHCI DT nodes description. For instance such YAML schemas design
will be useful for our DW AHCI SATA controller derivative with four clock
sources, two reset lines, one system controller reference and specific
max Rx/Tx DMA xfers size constraints.

Note the phys and target-supply property requirement is preserved in the
generic AHCI platform bindings because some platforms can lack of the
explicitly specified PHYs or target device power regulators.

Folks, I don't really see why the phys/target-supply requirement has been
added to the generic AHCI DT schema in the first place. Probably just to
imply some meaning for the sub-nodes definition. Anyway in one of the
further patches I am adding the DW AHCI SATA controller DT bindings which
won't require having these properties specified in the sub-nodes, but will
describe additional port-specific properties. That's why I get to keep the
constraints in the ahci-platform.yaml schema instead of moving them to the
common schema.

Changelog v2:
- This is a new patch created after rebasing v1 onto the 5.18-rc3 kernel.

Changelog v3:
- Replace Jens's email address with Damien's one in the list of the
  schema maintainers. (@Damien)

I agree with dropping the reset, clocks and power-related properties,
but it would be good to somehow signify that at least one IRQ is
required. Is it possible to somehow set such constraint with open
upper bound? If currently it isn't what about setting minItems: 1 (one
generic IRQ) and maxItems: 32 (in case of the per-port IRQs platform)?

Regarding the reg and reg-names properties. Some constraints are added
in one of the next patches of this series (you have already noticed
that).

Right. The maximum constraint is dropped in the patch:

Could you please be more specific the way it is supposed to look? We
have already got the sata-port@.* object defined in the sata-common.yaml
super-schema. Here I just redefine it with more specific properties.

Is it ok if I moved the sata-port@.* properties in the "definitions"
section of the sata-common.yaml and ahci-common.yaml schema and
re-used them right in the common bindings and, if required, in the
device-specific schema?

Please confirm that the next schema hierarchy is what you were talking
about and it will be ok in this case:

> Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ata/sata-common.yaml:
...
+ patternProperties:
+   "^sata-port@[0-9a-e]$":
+     $ref: '#/definitions/sata-port'
+ 
+ definitions:
+   sata-port:
+     type: object
+   
+     properties:
+       reg:
+         minimum: 0
+ 
+     additionalProperties: true

> Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ata/ahci-common.yaml:

+ 
+ definitions:
+   ahci-port:
+     $ref: /schemas/ata/sata-common.yaml#/definitions/sata-port
+     properties:
+       reg:
+         minimum: 0
+         maximum: 31
...
+ 
+     additionalProperties: true

> Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ata/snps,dwc-ahci.yaml:
...
+ patternProperties:
+   "^sata-port@[0-9a-e]$":
+     $ref: /schemas/ata/ahci-common.yaml#/definitions/ahci-port
+     properties:
+       reg:
+         minimum: 0
+         maximum: 7
+ 
+       snps,tx-ts-max:
+         $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
+ 
+       snps,rx-ts-max:
+         $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
+
+     unevaluatedProperties: true

So what do you think about the schemas hierarchy above?

Before this change the schemas design was the same except it was intended
that the sub-schemas can't extend the sata-port node properties set
(ahci-platform.yaml had additional properties disallowed),
while both the ahci-platform.yaml and parental sata-common.yaml
schemas have sata-port object definition.

In my case for just a lucky coincident it turned out that each sub-schemas
has the sata-port object properties set extended with properties and
new constraints. Anyway if what I suggested in the previous paragraph
is ok for you, I'll update the patch that way.
