1 BE 'big-endian'
2 LE 'little-endian'
+3 Native 'native-endian'
For one device driver, which will run in different scenarios above
on different SoCs using the devicetree, we need one way to simplify
this.
-Required properties:
-- {big,little}-endian: these are boolean properties, if absent
- meaning that the CPU and the Device are in the same endianness mode,
- these properties are for register values and all the buffers only.
+Optional properties:
+- {big,little,native}-endian: these are boolean properties, if absent
+ then the implementation will choose a default based on the device
+ being controlled. These properties are for register values and all
+ the buffers only. Native endian means that the CPU and device have
+ the same endianness.
Examples:
Scenario 1 : CPU in LE mode & device in LE mode.
endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_BIG;
else if (of_property_read_bool(np, "little-endian"))
endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE;
+ else if (of_property_read_bool(np, "native-endian"))
+ endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_NATIVE;
/* If the endianness was specified in DT, use that */
if (endian != REGMAP_ENDIAN_DEFAULT)
