+Qualcomm APR (Asynchronous Packet Router) binding
+
+This binding describes the Qualcomm APR. APR is a IPC protocol for
+communication between Application processor and QDSP. APR is mainly
+used for audio/voice services on the QDSP.
+
+- compatible:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <stringlist>
+ Definition: must be "qcom,apr-<SOC-NAME>" example: "qcom,apr-msm8996"
This is not the only apr on msm8996 and some platform seems to have 3-4
aprs. I'm therefor hesitant to use the compatible to pick the static
list of services available on the particular firmware.
If this scheme is followed we at least would need to rename this
qcom,msm8996-apr-audio-svc
But I think it would be preferable to go with qcom,apr-v2 and then list
the static services as child nodes.
Am okay doing it, Only issue I have is the dsp state. If the dsp AVCS is
not ready yet then we would be chatting on the service without the
services being up on remote side?
Chances of this seems to be slim but we need to confirm this before we
make a call on this.

+
+- qcom,smd-channel:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <string>
+ Definition: standard SMD property specifying the SMD channel used for
+ communication with the APR on QDSP.
+ Should be "apr_audio_svc".
This is not the only APR channel, but for apr itself this doesn't matter
and might as well be qcom,glink-channels; so perhaps we can omit this
from this document?
Yes, I agree with you. will remove this in next version.
+ Described in soc/qcom/qcom,smd.txt
+
+= EXAMPLE
+The following example represents a QDSP based sound card on a MSM8996 device
+which uses apr as communication between Apps and QDSP.
+
+ apr {
+ compatible = "qcom,apr-msm8996";
+ qcom,smd-channels = "apr_audio_svc";
+ };
