For one device driver, which will run in different scenarios above
|
|
|
on different SoCs using the devicetree, we need one way to simplify
|
|
|
this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Required properties:
|
|
|
-- {big,little}-endian: these are boolean properties, if absent
|
|
|
- meaning that the CPU and the Device are in the same endianness mode,
|
|
|
- these properties are for register values and all the buffers only.
|
|
|
+Optional properties:
|
|
|
+- {big,little,native}-endian: these are boolean properties, if absent
|
|
|
+ then the implementation will choose a default based on the device
|
|
|
+ being controlled. These properties are for register values and all
|
|
|
+ the buffers only. Native endian means that the CPU and device have
|
|
|
+ the same endianness.
|
|

Examples:
|
|
|
Scenario 1 : CPU in LE mode & device in LE mode.
