|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm simplebus
|
|
.Nd ePAPR simple-bus driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "options FDT"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This bus driver is dedicated for the
|
|
.Pa simple-bus
|
|
node of a flattened device tree compliant with the
|
|
.Pa ePAPR
|
|
specification.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
entity does not represent any physical element by itself, it is rather an
|
|
umbrella node grouping integrated on-chip peripherals like interrupt
|
|
controller, connectivity controllers, accelerating engines and so on.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The driver is generic and common for all flattened device tree nodes claiming
|
|
.Pa simple-bus
|
|
compatibility. It iterates over direct descendants of the
|
|
.Pa simple-bus
|
|
node, instantiates newbus children and assigns resources to them, based on the
|
|
configuration data retrieved from the nodes properties in
|
|
.Xr fdt 4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not manage device resources and passes through any requests to the
|
|
.Xr fdtbus 4
|
|
layer.
