I don't think DT in the h/w is the best strategy anyways. Ideally, what the h/w should have are version and capabilities (assuming there are configuration options) registers which aren't optional and can't be forgotten to be updated. The version should probably have a vendor too. > > As I mentioned for the > > intc and now the pwm block bindings, if you are going to do version > > numbers please document the versioning scheme. > > > Will add that to the binding document. I don't seem to be making my point clear. I don't want any of this added to a binding doc for particular IP blocks. Write a common doc that explains the scheme and addresses the questions I asked. Then just reference that doc here. Maybe this is documented somewhere already? Otherwise, if one is creating a new IP block, how do they know what the versioning scheme is or what goes in the DT ROM? > > > > Where does the > > number come from? > > > It comes from the RTL, which is public: > > https://github.com/sifive/sifive-blocks/blob/master/src/main/scala/devices/uart/UART.scala#L43 I'm not going to go read your RTL, sorry.
