[PATCH v6 16/17] dt-bindings: arm: Add virtio transport for SCMI

From: Cristian Marussi
Date: Mon Jul 12 2021 - 10:20:01 EST


From: Igor Skalkin <igor.skalkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Document the properties for arm,scmi-virtio compatible nodes.
The backing virtio SCMI device is described in patch [1].

While doing that, make shmem property required only for pre-existing
mailbox and smc transports, since virtio-scmi does not need it.

v3 --> V4
- convertd to YAML
- make shmem required only for pre-existing mailbox and smc transport
- updated VirtIO specification patch message reference
- dropped virtio-mmio SCMI device example since really not pertinent to
virtio-scmi dt bindings transport: it is not even referenced in SCMI
virtio DT node since they are enumerated by VirtIO subsystem and there
could be PCI based SCMI devices anyway.
