This EC is found in e-book readers of multiple brands (e.g. Kobo,
Tolino), and is typically implemented as a TI MSP430 microcontroller.

It controls different functions of the system, such as power on/off,
RTC, PWM for the backlight. The exact functionality provided can vary
between boards.

  Netronix Embedded Controller

  This EC is found in e-book readers of multiple brands (e.g. Kobo, Tolino), and
  is typically implemented as a TI MSP430 microcontroller.


  Required properties:
  - compatible: should be "netronix,ntxec"
  - reg: The I2C address of the EC

  Optional properties:
  - system-power-controller:
    See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/power-controller.txt
  - interrupts or interrupts-extended
  - interrupt-controller
  - #interrupt-cells: Should be 1

  Optional subnodes:

  Sub-nodes are identified by their compatible string.

   compatible string              | description
  --------------------------------|--------------------------------------
   netronix,ntxec-pwm             | PWM (used for backlight)
   netronix,ntxec-rtc             | real time clock


  Example:

  &i2c3 {
  	pinctrl-names = "default";
  	pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_i2c3>;
  	status = "okay";

  	ec: embedded-controller@43 {
  		pinctrl-names = "default";
  		pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_ntxec>;

  		compatible = "netronix,ntxec";
  		reg = <0x43>;
  		system-power-controller;
  		interrupt-parent = <&gpio4>;
  		interrupts = <11 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;
  		interrupt-controller;
  		#interrupt-cells = <1>;

  		pwm {
  			compatible = "netronix,ntxec-pwm";
  			#pwm-cells = <2>;
  		};

  		rtc {
  			compatible = "netronix,ntxec-rtc";
  			interrupts-extended = <&ec 15>;
  			interrupt-names = "alarm";
  		};
  	};
  };

These need to be documented too.

Ok, I'll add that.

Interrupt support is something I haven't really worked out yet for this
(set of) binding(s). My idea here was to have the embedded-controller
node act as an interrupt controller, and the subnodes use specific
interrupts that are relevant for their functionality.

I think I'll rather omit the interrupt-controller and #interrupt-cells
properties now, and add them later if they become necessary. If the pwm
and rtc nodes are merged into the main node, I don't think they will
become necessary.


Thanks,
Jonathan Neuschäfer
