Freescale Synchronous Serial Interface The SSI is a serial device that communicates with audio codecs. It can be programmed in AC97, I2S, left-justified, or right-justified modes. Required properties: - compatible: Compatible list, should contain one of the following compatibles: fsl,mpc8610-ssi fsl,imx51-ssi fsl,imx35-ssi fsl,imx21-ssi - cell-index: The SSI, <0> = SSI1, <1> = SSI2, and so on. - reg: Offset and length of the register set for the device. - interrupts: <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a field that represents an encoding of the sense and level information for the interrupt. This should be encoded based on the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt controller you have. - fsl,fifo-depth: The number of elements in the transmit and receive FIFOs. This number is the maximum allowed value for SFCSR[TFWM0]. - clocks: "ipg" - Required clock for the SSI unit "baud" - Required clock for SSI master mode. Otherwise this clock is not used Required are also ac97 link bindings if ac97 is used. See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sound/soc-ac97link.txt for the necessary bindings. Optional properties: - codec-handle: Phandle to a 'codec' node that defines an audio codec connected to this SSI. This node is typically a child of an I2C or other control node. - fsl,fiq-stream-filter: Bool property. Disabled DMA and use FIQ instead to filter the codec stream. This is necessary for some boards where an incompatible codec is connected to this SSI, e.g. on pca100 and pcm043. - dmas: Generic dma devicetree binding as described in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/dma/dma.txt. - dma-names: Two dmas have to be defined, "tx" and "rx", if fsl,imx-fiq is not defined. - fsl,mode: The operating mode for the AC97 interface only. "ac97-slave" - AC97 mode, SSI is clock slave "ac97-master" - AC97 mode, SSI is clock master - fsl,ssi-asynchronous: If specified, the SSI is to be programmed in asynchronous mode. In this mode, pins SRCK, STCK, SRFS, and STFS must all be connected to valid signals. In synchronous mode, SRCK and SRFS are ignored. Asynchronous mode allows playback and capture to use different sample sizes and sample rates. Some drivers may require that SRCK and STCK be connected together, and SRFS and STFS be connected together. This would still allow different sample sizes, but not different sample rates. - fsl,playback-dma: Phandle to a node for the DMA channel to use for playback of audio. This is typically dictated by SOC design. See the notes below. Only used on Power Architecture. - fsl,capture-dma: Phandle to a node for the DMA channel to use for capture (recording) of audio. This is typically dictated by SOC design. See the notes below. Only used on Power Architecture. Child 'codec' node required properties: - compatible: Compatible list, contains the name of the codec Child 'codec' node optional properties: - clock-frequency: The frequency of the input clock, which typically comes from an on-board dedicated oscillator. Notes on fsl,playback-dma and fsl,capture-dma: On SOCs that have an SSI, specific DMA channels are hard-wired for playback and capture. On the MPC8610, for example, SSI1 must use DMA channel 0 for playback and DMA channel 1 for capture. SSI2 must use DMA channel 2 for playback and DMA channel 3 for capture. The developer can choose which DMA controller to use, but the channels themselves are hard-wired. The purpose of these two properties is to represent this hardware design. The device tree nodes for the DMA channels that are referenced by "fsl,playback-dma" and "fsl,capture-dma" must be marked as compatible with "fsl,ssi-dma-channel". The SOC-specific compatible string (e.g. "fsl,mpc8610-dma-channel") can remain. If these nodes are left as "fsl,elo-dma-channel" or "fsl,eloplus-dma-channel", then the generic Elo DMA drivers (fsldma) will attempt to use them, and it will conflict with the sound drivers.
