[PATCH v9 RESEND 0/4] Add generic driver for on-chip SRAM

[Michal Simek]

Hi Andrew,

2013/3/20 Philipp Zabel <p.zabel at pengutronix.de>:
> Hi, last time I posted was a bit close to the merge window, so I'm

>
> These patches add support to configure on-chip SRAM via device-tree
> node or platform data and to obtain the resulting genalloc pool from
> the struct device pointer or a phandle pointing at the device tree node.
> This allows drivers to allocate SRAM with the genalloc API without
> hard-coding the genalloc pool pointer.
>
> The on-chip SRAM on i.MX53 and i.MX6q can be registered via device tree
> and changed to use the simple generic SRAM driver:
>
>                 ocram: ocram at 00900000 {
>                         compatible = "fsl,imx-ocram", "mmio-sram";
>                         reg = <0x00900000 0x3f000>;
>                 };
>
> A driver that needs to allocate SRAM buffers, like the video processing
> unit on i.MX53, can retrieve the genalloc pool from a phandle in the
> device tree using of_get_named_gen_pool(node, "iram", 0) from patch 1:

>                 vpu at 63ff4000 {
>                         /* ... */
>                         iram = <&ocram>;
>                 };
>
> Changes since v8:
>  - The sram driver now matches against the "mmio-sram" compatible string.
>  - Removed a whitespace error in the device tree binding documentation.

Andrew: 1/4 and 2/4 patches should probably go through your tree.
Can you please handle them?
Or Philipp should send these two patches directly to you?

Thanks,
Michal
