Flexcan CAN controller on Freescale's ARM and PowerPC system-on-a-chip (SOC). Required properties: - compatible : Should be "fsl,-flexcan" An implementation should also claim any of the following compatibles that it is fully backwards compatible with: - fsl,p1010-flexcan - reg : Offset and length of the register set for this device - interrupts : Interrupt tuple for this device Clocking information is must for flexcan. please refer below info for understanding clocking in flexcan: • The FLEXCAN module is divided into two blocks. Controller host interface ("CHI") and Protocol Engine ("PE") • Both these blocks require clock. • CHI is responsible for registers read write including MB read/write. While PE is responsible for Transfer/receive data on CAN bus. • The clocks feeding to these two blocks can be synchronous (i.e. same clock) or asynchronous (i.e. separate clocks). • Selection is made in the CLK_SRC bit (bit 13) of Control 1 Register. - CLK_SRC = 0, asynchronous i.e. separate clocks for CHI and PE - CLK_SRC = 1, synchronous i.e. CHI clock is used for PE and PE clock is not used. • If this bit is not implemented in SOC, then SOC only supports asynchronous clocks. • Either of the clock can be generated by any of the clock source. • When the two clocks are asynchronous, then following restrictions apply to PE clock. - PE clock must be less than CHI clock. • If low jitter is required on CAN bus, dedicated oscillator can be used to provide PE clock, but it must be less than CHI clock. Base on above information clocking info in flexcan can be defined in two ways: Method 1(Preferred): - clocks: phandle to the clocks feeding the flexcan. Two can be given: - "ipg": Protocol Engine clock - "per": Controller host interface clock - clock-names: Must contain the clock names described just above. Method 2(Not Preferred): - clock-frequency : The synchronous clock frequency supplied to both Controller host interface and Protocol Engine Optional properties: - xceiver-supply: Regulator that powers the CAN transceiver - big-endian: This means the registers of FlexCAN controller are big endian. This is optional property.i.e. if this property is not present in device tree node then controller is assumed to be little endian. if this property is present then controller is assumed to be big endian. - fsl,stop-mode: register bits of stop mode control, the format is <&gpr req_gpr req_bit ack_gpr ack_bit>. gpr is the phandle to general purpose register node. req_gpr is the gpr register offset of CAN stop request. req_bit is the bit offset of CAN stop request. ack_gpr is the gpr register offset of CAN stop acknowledge. ack_bit is the bit offset of CAN stop acknowledge. - fsl,clk-source: Select the clock source to the CAN Protocol Engine (PE). It's SoC Implementation dependent. Refer to RM for detailed definition. If this property is not set in device tree node then driver selects clock source 1 by default. 0: clock source 0 (oscillator clock) 1: clock source 1 (peripheral clock) - wakeup-source: enable CAN remote wakeup Example: can@1c000 { compatible = "fsl,p1010-flexcan"; reg = <0x1c000 0x1000>; interrupts = <48 0x2>; interrupt-parent = <&mpic>; clock-frequency = <200000000>; // filled in by bootloader fsl,clk-source = <0>; // select clock source 0 for PE }; can@2180000 { compatible = "fsl,lx2160ar1-flexcan"; reg = <0x0 0x2180000 0x0 0x10000>; interrupts = ; clocks = <&sysclk>, <&clockgen 4 7>; clock-names = "ipg", "per"; status = "disabled"; };
