Generally we have a single file for a SoC while adding phy binding
documentation. So just make it hix5hd2-phy.txt.

Multiple compatible strings.

"hisilicon,dwc-sata-phy" would be too generic anyway, it should include the
name of the chip that first implements this, or the exact version of the
IP block, preferably both.

Ideally if you can find out the version that hisilicon uses, it could
look something like

compatible = "hisilicon,hi15hd2-sata-phy", "snps,dwc-sata-phy-2.3a", 
""snps,dwc-sata-phy";

Note also the specific version of the hisilicon chip: you must not use
wildcards in compatible strings but should always use a real product number.
("1" instead of "x"). If multiple chips are mutually compatible, they
can all use the number of the first one here.



Sorry for the confusion.

The phy is rather an analog controller, without standard register.
Instead, the phy interface is just some pin / analog interface.
The register is in fact hix5hd2 register, controls all the analog 
output, including reset, power, speed, para tunning.


Even the same phy is used in other soc, they can not share this driver, 
since the connection must be different, as well as internal soc register 
layout.
Only if the same controller & phy are reused in other hisilicon soc, 
this driver can be shared.


Since what we control is hix5hd2 controller itself, so it may not 
suitable to put snps here.



And about hix5hd2 name: x is not wildcard.

Currently hix5hd2 is series of hi3716c v200, hi3719c v100, hi3718c v100.
They are same soc, except minus pin assembles different.

However, not all hi37x is in this series, for example hi3716c v100 is a 
different soc.


In the future hi3719m, hi3718m may also plan to add to hix5hd2 series.
The difference will be different cpu core number, different gpu core 
number. Also use different ethernet controller.



So we may still keep "hisilicon,hix5hd2-sata-phy" unchanged.

Multiple compatible strings.

"hisilicon,dwc-sata-phy" would be too generic anyway, it should include the
name of the chip that first implements this, or the exact version of the

Ideally if you can find out the version that hisilicon uses, it could

Sorry for the confusion.

The phy is rather an analog controller, without standard register.
Instead, the phy interface is just some pin / analog interface.
The register is in fact hix5hd2 register, controls all the analog 
output, including reset, power, speed, para tunning.


Even the same phy is used in other soc, they can not share this driver, 
since the connection must be different, as well as internal soc register 
layout.
Only if the same controller  phy are reused in other hisilicon soc, 
this driver can be shared.


Since what we control is hix5hd2 controller itself, so it may not 
suitable to put snps here.



And about hix5hd2 name: x is not wildcard.

Currently hix5hd2 is series of hi3716c v200, hi3719c v100, hi3718c v100.
They are same soc, except minus pin assembles different.

However, not all hi37x is in this series, for example hi3716c v100 is a 
different soc.


In the future hi3719m, hi3718m may also plan to add to hix5hd2 series.
The difference will be different cpu core number, different gpu core 
number. Also use different ethernet controller.



So we may still keep hisilicon,hix5hd2-sata-phy unchanged.
What do you think?

Sorry if I my question was unclear, I did not mean the implementation
of this phy in hix5hd2, but the Synopsys phy itself. I was mainly
asking because of the "compatible" string, which should otherwise
not include "sata" but be more generic.

Since you mention that this is a synopsys part, it may however be
good to also define a compatible string for the generic device,
to allow other SoCs to share this driver, and to make it easier
for people to find out that we already have one so they don't have
to write another driver for the same hardware.

Can you find out what the Synopsys/Designware product designation for
this PHY is? It would be good to rename the driver and binding
if possible. I would still recommend leaving the
"hisilicon,hix5hd2-sata-phy" string and the "hisilicon,peripheral-syscon"
property in place, since that indicates a minor variation of the
generic part.

Yes, double confimed.
Hix5hd2 phy diver only support sata phy, in fact, current soc only 
support synposis phy, since some internal physical link.

And hix5hd2 ethernet phy is already in hix5hd2_gmac.c.

We have had a couple of PHY drivers that were initially meant to be
single-purpose but then turned out to be for hardware that could
be put into multiple modes (SATA, gbit ethernet, PCIe, ...). Are
you sure that this particular device is SATA-only?

We have had a couple of PHY drivers that were initially meant to be

be put into multiple modes (SATA, gbit ethernet, PCIe, ...). Are
you sure that this particular device is SATA-only?

Yes, double confimed.
Hix5hd2 phy diver only support sata phy, in fact, current soc only 
support synposis phy, since some internal physical link.

And hix5hd2 ethernet phy is already in hix5hd2_gmac.c.
No pcie support on hix5hd2 platfrom.
