-Freescale Enhanced Serial Audio Interface (ESAI) Controller
-
-The Enhanced Serial Audio Interface (ESAI) provides a full-duplex serial port
-for serial communication with a variety of serial devices, including industry
-standard codecs, Sony/Phillips Digital Interface (S/PDIF) transceivers, and
-other DSPs. It has up to six transmitters and four receivers.
-
-Required properties:
-
-  - compatible		: Compatible list, should contain one of the following
-			  compatibles:
-			  "fsl,imx35-esai",
-			  "fsl,vf610-esai",
-			  "fsl,imx6ull-esai",
-			  "fsl,imx8qm-esai",
-
-  - reg			: Offset and length of the register set for the device.
-
-  - interrupts		: Contains the spdif interrupt.
-
-  - dmas		: Generic dma devicetree binding as described in
-			  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/dma/dma.txt.
-
-  - dma-names		: Two dmas have to be defined, "tx" and "rx".
-
-  - clocks		: Contains an entry for each entry in clock-names.
-
-  - clock-names		: Includes the following entries:
-	"core"		  The core clock used to access registers
-	"extal"		  The esai baud clock for esai controller used to
-			  derive HCK, SCK and FS.
-	"fsys"		  The system clock derived from ahb clock used to
-			  derive HCK, SCK and FS.
-	"spba"		  The spba clock is required when ESAI is placed as a
-			  bus slave of the Shared Peripheral Bus and when two
-			  or more bus masters (CPU, DMA or DSP) try to access
-			  it. This property is optional depending on the SoC
-			  design.
-
-  - fsl,fifo-depth	: The number of elements in the transmit and receive
-			  FIFOs. This number is the maximum allowed value for
-			  TFCR[TFWM] or RFCR[RFWM].
-
-  - fsl,esai-synchronous: This is a boolean property. If present, indicating
-			  that ESAI would work in the synchronous mode, which
-			  means all the settings for Receiving would be
-			  duplicated from Transmission related registers.
-
-Optional properties:
-
-  - big-endian		: If this property is absent, the native endian mode
-			  will be in use as default, or the big endian mode
-			  will be in use for all the device registers.
-
-Example:
-
-esai: esai@2024000 {
-	compatible = "fsl,imx35-esai";
-	reg = <0x02024000 0x4000>;
-	interrupts = <0 51 0x04>;
-	clocks = <&clks 208>, <&clks 118>, <&clks 208>;
-	clock-names = "core", "extal", "fsys";
-	dmas = <&sdma 23 21 0>, <&sdma 24 21 0>;
-	dma-names = "rx", "tx";
-	fsl,fifo-depth = <128>;
-	fsl,esai-synchronous;
-	big-endian;
-};
