Re: [PATCH] dt-bindings: soc: qcom: convert GLINK binding to yaml

Yeah, it seems there are several mistakes, I thought it was in better shape (4 months passed.. :( ).

About testing, currently I have limited ability since broken libfdt, which dt-schema use, doesn't work on new py3.10.

I'll send partly fixed version and get back to it, when I get more time and fixed environment for testing.

v1:
- remove quotes around qcom,intent
- use additionalProperties
Thank you for your patch. There is something to discuss/improve.

-Qualcomm GLINK edge binding

-edge.
-
-- compatible:
- Usage: required for glink-rpm

- Usage: optional
- Value type: <string>
- Definition: should specify the subsystem name this edge corresponds to.

-- interrupts:

- signal this processor about communication related events

-= GLINK DEVICES
-Each subnode of the GLINK node represent function tied to a virtual
-communication channel. The name of the nodes are not important. The properties
-of these nodes are defined by the individual bindings for the specific function
-- but must contain the following property:
-
-- qcom,glink-channels:
- Usage: required
- Value type: <stringlist>
- Definition: a list of channels tied to this function, used for matching
- the function to a set of virtual channels
-
-- qcom,intents:
- Usage: optional
- Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
- Definition: a list of size,amount pairs describing what intents should
- be preallocated for this virtual channel. This can be used
- to tweak the default intents available for the channel to
- meet expectations of the remote.
-
-= EXAMPLE
-The following example represents the GLINK RPM node on a MSM8996 device, with
-the function for the "rpm_request" channel defined, which is used for
-regulators and root clocks.

Drop all this "should specify" and similar. It's making description
unnecessary long and complicated. This is therefore "Name of subsystem
this edge corresponds to".

Skip the path (entire last part of sentence).

This is a bit confusing... why it's not part of properties? Looks like

Eh? Object here? I don't think you tested your bindings. If you test,
you will notice several errors.

These go to children.

Isn't this a list of strings?

This is also something new. This does not look like proper bindings
conversion, or you copied some other bindings as template. You need to
really go through it and clean it up.

Isn't this conflicting with part below?

Remove unneeded blank lines between properties.
