Changes in V2:
- update the message that the BPMP is clock and reset control provider
- add tegra186-clock.h and tegra186-reset.h header files
- revise the description of the required properties

+NVIDIA Tegra Boot and Power Management Processor (BPMP)
+
+The BPMP is a specific processor in Tegra chip, which is designed for
+booting process handling and offloading the power management, clock
+management, and reset control tasks from the CPU. The binding document
+defines the resources that would be used by the BPMP firmware driver,
+which can create the interprocessor communication (IPC) between the CPU
+and BPMP.
+
+Required properties:
+- name : Should be bpmp
+- compatible
+ Array of strings
+ One of:
+ - "nvidia,tegra186-bpmp"
+- mboxes : The phandle of mailbox controller and the mailbox specifier.
+- shmem : List of the phandle of the TX and RX shared memory area that
+ the IPC between CPU and BPMP is based on.
+- #clock-cells : Should be 1.
+- #reset-cells : Should be 1.
+
+This node is a mailbox consumer. See the following files for details of
+the mailbox subsystem, and the specifiers implemented by the relevant
+provider(s):
+
+- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mailbox.txt
+- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/nvidia,tegra186-hsp.txt
+
+This node is a clock and reset provider. See the following files for
+general documentation of those features, and the specifiers implemented
+by this node:
+
+- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt
+- include/dt-bindings/clock/tegra186-clock.h
+- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reset/reset.txt
+- include/dt-bindings/reset/tegra186-reset.h
+
+The shared memory bindings for BPMP
+-----------------------------------
+
+The shared memory area for the IPC TX and RX between CPU and BPMP are
+predefined and work on top of sysram, which is an SRAM inside the chip.
+
+See "Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sram/sram.txt" for the bindings.
+
+Example:
+
+hsp_top0: hsp@03c00000 {
+ ...
+ #mbox-cells = <1>;
+};
+
+sysram@30000000 {
+ compatible = "nvidia,tegra186-sysram", "mmio-ram";

Shouldn't the second compatible be "mmio-sram"?

If so, then you have the same typo in tegra186.dtsi as well.


Good catch, will fix.

Thanks,
