+title: Common Properties for Parallel AT attachment (PATA) controllers

+description: |
+ This document defines device tree properties common to most Parallel
+ ATA (PATA, also known as IDE) AT attachment storage devices.
+ It doesn't constitue a device tree binding specification by itself but is
+ meant to be referenced by device tree bindings.
+
+ The PATA (IDE) controller-specific device tree bindings are responsible for
+ defining whether each property is required or optional.

I need to create subnodes for drives connected to PATA host controllers, and this needs to be supported generally, so create a common YAML binding for "ide" that will support subnodes with ports. This has been designed as a subset of ata/ahci-platform.txt with the bare essentials and should be possible to extend or superset to cover the common bindings. Cc: Rob Herring <robh+dt@kernel.org> Cc: devicetree@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> --- ChangeLog v2->v3: - Only support PATA controllers for now since it is all I need right now. SATA controller have complex topology and might need more elaborate subnodes, possibly a subnode for the multiplier itself, so I will split that off into its own RFC patch. ChangeLog v1->v2: - Use ide@ and sata@ as node names. - Use ide-port@ and sata-port@ for the ports toward the drives, rather than letting the subnodes be the drives themselves. --- .../devicetree/bindings/ata/pata-common.yaml | 50 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 50 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ata/pata-common.yaml
