Memory controller is interconnected with memory clients and with the
External Memory Controller. Document new interconnect property which
turns memory controller into interconnect provider.

This is a list of required properties so you break the ABI. All existing
DTBs will be affected.

Best regards,

This is optional property for the older DTBs, but for newer DTs it's
mandatory. IIUC, it should be defined as a required property in the
binding.

Please see tegra_mc_interconnect_setup() in "memory: tegra-mc: Add
interconnect framework", which check presence of the ICC DT property.

We do not consider here "older" or "newer" DTBs, but existing ones in
the world using this binding.

If it was optional so far, it cannot be made mandatory without changing
the ABI. Which is an ABI break.

The implementation indeed does not enforce it (except adding error msg,
about which I commented). Therefore it should be an optional property.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
