Hi, If it can be done easily, can you please consider the upcoming (3.10) cortex-a5 SoC: arch/arm/boot/dts/sama5d3.dtsi It is in linux-next through arm-soc/at91/at91/soc > arch/arm/kernel/devtree.c | 82 +++--- > 9 files changed, 377 insertions(+), 72 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.txt > b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.txt > index f32494d..b1ef3d8 100644 > --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.txt > +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.txt > @@ -1,4 +1,6 @@ > -* ARM CPUs binding description > +============================= > +ARM CPUs bindings description > +============================= > > The device tree allows to describe the layout of CPUs in a system through > the "cpus" node, which in turn contains a number of subnodes (ie "cpu") > @@ -8,70 +10,317 @@ Bindings for CPU nodes follow the ePAPR standard, > available from: > > http://devicetree.org > > -For the ARM architecture every CPU node must contain the following > properties: > - > -- device_type: must be "cpu" > -- reg: property matching the CPU MPIDR[23:0] register bits > - reg[31:24] bits must be set to 0 > -- compatible: should be one of: > - "arm,arm1020" > - "arm,arm1020e" > - "arm,arm1022" > - "arm,arm1026" > - "arm,arm720" > - "arm,arm740" > - "arm,arm7tdmi" > - "arm,arm920" Here we have: "arm,arm920t" for at91rm9200.dtsi > - "arm,arm922" > - "arm,arm925" > - "arm,arm926" Oh, I missed this one: the strange thing is that *all* arm926 variants have a compatible string of this form: "arm,arm926ejs" (using: git grep "arm,arm9" next/master) Should we change?
