to be interpreted
as a uint32_t value in little endian byte order. The current value
(corresponding to the above outer protocol) is zero.
+If bit 1 of the feature bitmap is set, the DMA interface is present. This
+can be used through the 64-bit wide address register.
+
+The address register is in big-endian format. The value for the register is 0
+at startup and after an operation. A write to the lower half triggers an
+operation. This means, that operations with 32-bit addresses can be triggered
+with just one write, whereas operations with 64-bit addresses can be triggered
+with one 64-bit write or two 32-bit writes, starting with the higher part.
+
+In this register, the physical address of a FWCfgDmaAccess structure in RAM
+should be written. This is the format of the FWCfgDmaAccess structure:
+
+typedef struct FWCfgDmaAccess {
+ uint32_t control;
+ uint32_t length;
+ uint64_t address;
+} FWCfgDmaAccess;
+
+The fields of the structure are in big endian mode, and the field at the lowest
+address is the "control" field.
+
+The "control" field has the following bits:
+ - Bit 0: Error
+ - Bit 1: Read
+ - Bit 2: Skip
+ - Bit 3: Select. The upper 16 bits are the selected index.
+
+When an operation is triggered, if the "control" field has bit 3 set, the
+upper 16 bits are interpreted as an index of a firmware configuration item.
+This has the same effect as writing the selector register.
+
+If the "control" field has bit 1 set, a read operation will be performed.
+"length" bytes for the current selector and offset will be copied into the
+physical RAM address specified by the "address" field.
+
+If the "control" field has bit 2 set (and not bit 1), a skip operation will be
+performed. The offset for the current selector will be advanced "length" bytes.
+
+To check the result, read the "control" field:
+ error bit set -> something went wrong.
+ all bits cleared -> transfer finished successfully.
+ otherwise -> transfer still in progress (doesn't happen
+ today due to implementation not being async,
+ but may in the future).

The guest kernel is not expected to use these registers (although it is
certainly allowed to); the device tree bindings are documented here because
this is where device tree bindings reside in general.
