| 7 | used, if known, followed by either "cfi-flash", "jedec-flash" |
| 8 | or "mtd-ram". |
| 9 | - reg : Address range(s) of the mtd chip(s) |
Stefan Roese | c5a88dd | 2009-04-16 15:11:54 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | It's possible to (optionally) define multiple "reg" tuples so that |
Wolfram Sang | fc28c39 | 2009-07-17 14:39:23 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 11 | non-identical chips can be described in one node. |
| 12 | - bank-width : Width (in bytes) of the bank. Equal to the |
Stefan Roese | efcc2da | 2009-04-16 15:11:54 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 13 | device width times the number of interleaved chips. |
Wolfram Sang | fc28c39 | 2009-07-17 14:39:23 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | - device-width : (optional) Width of a single mtd chip. If |
Stefan Roese | efcc2da | 2009-04-16 15:11:54 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 15 | omitted, assumed to be equal to 'bank-width'. |
Wolfram Sang | fc28c39 | 2009-07-17 14:39:23 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 16 | - #address-cells, #size-cells : Must be present if the device has |
Stefan Roese | efcc2da | 2009-04-16 15:11:54 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 17 | sub-nodes representing partitions (see below). In this case |
| 18 | both #address-cells and #size-cells must be equal to 1. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | For JEDEC compatible devices, the following additional properties |
| 21 | are defined: |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - vendor-id : Contains the flash chip's vendor id (1 byte). |
| 24 | - device-id : Contains the flash chip's device id (1 byte). |

| 27 | address space. See partition.txt for more detail. |

| 53 | #size-cells = <1>; |
| 54 | compatible = "intel,PC48F4400P0VB", "cfi-flash"; |
