   2 ARM CPUs bindings
   3 =================
   4
   5 The device tree allows to describe the layout of CPUs in a system through
   6 the "cpus" node, which in turn contains a number of subnodes (ie "cpu")
   7 defining properties for every cpu.
   8
   9 Bindings for CPU nodes follow the ePAPR v1.1 standard, available from:
  10
  11 https://www.power.org/documentation/epapr-version-1-1/
  12
  13 with updates for 32-bit and 64-bit ARM systems provided in this document.

  15 ================================
  16 Convention used in this document
  17 ================================
  18
  19 This document follows the conventions described in the ePAPR v1.1, with
  20 the addition:
  21
  22 - square brackets define bitfields, eg reg[7:0] value of the bitfield in
  23   the reg property contained in bits 7 down to 0

  26 cpus and cpu node bindings definition
  27 =====================================
  28
  29 The ARM architecture, in accordance with the ePAPR, requires the cpus and cpu
  30 nodes to be present and contain the properties described below.
  31
  32 - cpus node
  33
  34         Description: Container of cpu nodes
  35
  36         The node name must be "cpus".
  37
  38         A cpus node must define the following properties:
  39

  41                 Usage: required
  42                 Value type: <u32>
  43
  44                 Definition depends on ARM architecture version and

  46
  47                         # On uniprocessor ARM architectures previous to v7
  48                           value must be 1, to enable a simple enumeration
  49                           scheme for processors that do not have a HW CPU
  50                           identification register.
  51                         # On 32-bit ARM 11 MPcore, ARM v7 or later systems
  52                           value must be 1, that corresponds to CPUID/MPIDR
  53                           registers sizes.
  54                         # On ARM v8 64-bit systems value should be set to 2,
  55                           that corresponds to the MPIDR_EL1 register size.
  56                           If MPIDR_EL1[63:32] value is equal to 0 on all CPUs
  57                           in the system, #address-cells can be set to 1, since
  58                           MPIDR_EL1[63:32] bits are not used for CPUs
  59                           identification.
