From: Sameer Pujar <spujar@nvidia.com>

Convert device tree bindings of graph to YAML format. Currently graph.txt
doc is referenced in multiple files and all of these need to use schema
references. For now graph.txt is updated to refer to graph.yaml.

For users of the graph binding, they should reference to the graph
schema from either 'ports' or 'port' property:

properties:
  ports:
    type: object
    $ref: graph.yaml#/properties/ports

    properties:
      port@0:
        description: What data this port has

      ...

Or:

properties:
  port:
    description: What data this port has
    type: object
    $ref: graph.yaml#/properties/port

v3:

Please fix so this example is correct - append /schemas/

Likewise.

Otherwise I could be confused when looking it up later.

Does 'remote-endpoint' have to be a required property?
In case of pluggable modules, the remote-endpoint may not be available 
unless the module is plugged in. In other words, device-2 in below 
example may not always be available, but still device-1 endpoint 
configuration and usage may be required?

No, I've dropped it. I noticed the same thing converting some of the
schema over to use this.

Hi Rob and Sameer,

Thank you for the patch.

As noted elsewhere, this shouldn't be required.

Should we set additionalProperties: false here ?

Allowing multiple port nodes not grouped in a ports node has created
complexity, with very little gain. Should we forbid that going forward ?

Maybe a single blank line ?

No, we've got a bunch of properties that get added to endpoint nodes.
There's a few cases where 'port' nodes have properties too.

Yes, that's probably a separate change. The examples need updating
too. We do have a few cases we'll have to support though.

I've gone thru and updated schemas to use this. Primarily to prove out
a meta-schema for it. So I'll be sending out another version.

I meant the port node, which I wasn't aware needed additional
properties. Do you have any example ? (I wonder if you will point me to
bindings that I have written ;-))

Not you, but Renesas. dual-lvds-{odd,even}-pixels was the only one I
think. But really, I think we could actually drop those if the port
numbering defines even/odd instead. There's a patch I just reviewed
for common dual lane panels. See

We've discussed this before, see

Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 7/9] drm: rcar-du: lvds: Add dual-LVDS panels support
Message-ID: <20190815130834.GM5011@pendragon.ideasonboard.com>

"But what will then happen if you panel has more than two ports (for
audio for instance, or for other types of video links) ? It may not be
possible to always use port 0 and 1 for the LVDS even and odd pixels in
DT bindings of a particular panel or bridge."

I've decided to move this to the dt-schema repo instead[1]. I think
that will be easier to manage dependencies (audio-graph.yaml plus
anything else landing this cycle) than subsystems pulling a shared
branch. I haven't merged it yet, so let me know if any
comments/objections. Note that the meta-schema will have to come a bit
later once existing users are updated (which I have patches for).

-Common bindings for device graphs
-
-General concept
----------------
-
-The hierarchical organisation of the device tree is well suited to describe
-control flow to devices, but there can be more complex connections between
-devices that work together to form a logical compound device, following an
-arbitrarily complex graph.
-There already is a simple directed graph between devices tree nodes using
-phandle properties pointing to other nodes to describe connections that
-can not be inferred from device tree parent-child relationships. The device
-tree graph bindings described herein abstract more complex devices that can
-have multiple specifiable ports, each of which can be linked to one or more
-ports of other devices.
-
-These common bindings do not contain any information about the direction or
-type of the connections, they just map their existence. Specific properties
-may be described by specialized bindings depending on the type of connection.
-
-To see how this binding applies to video pipelines, for example, see
-Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt.
-Here the ports describe data interfaces, and the links between them are
-the connecting data buses. A single port with multiple connections can
-correspond to multiple devices being connected to the same physical bus.
-
-Organisation of ports and endpoints
------------------------------------
-
-Ports are described by child 'port' nodes contained in the device node.
-Each port node contains an 'endpoint' subnode for each remote device port
-connected to this port. If a single port is connected to more than one
-remote device, an 'endpoint' child node must be provided for each link.
-If more than one port is present in a device node or there is more than one
-endpoint at a port, or a port node needs to be associated with a selected
-hardware interface, a common scheme using '#address-cells', '#size-cells'
-and 'reg' properties is used to number the nodes.
-
-device {
-        ...
-        #address-cells = <1>;
-        #size-cells = <0>;
-
-        port@0 {
-	        #address-cells = <1>;
-	        #size-cells = <0>;
-		reg = <0>;
-
-                endpoint@0 {
-			reg = <0>;
-			...
-		};
-                endpoint@1 {
-			reg = <1>;
-			...
-		};
-        };
-
-        port@1 {
-		reg = <1>;
-
-		endpoint { ... };
-	};
-};
-
-All 'port' nodes can be grouped under an optional 'ports' node, which
-allows to specify #address-cells, #size-cells properties for the 'port'
-nodes independently from any other child device nodes a device might
-have.
-
-device {
-        ...
-        ports {
-                #address-cells = <1>;
-                #size-cells = <0>;
-
-                port@0 {
-                        ...
-                        endpoint@0 { ... };
-                        endpoint@1 { ... };
-                };
-
-                port@1 { ... };
-        };
-};
-
-Links between endpoints
------------------------
-
-Each endpoint should contain a 'remote-endpoint' phandle property that points
-to the corresponding endpoint in the port of the remote device. In turn, the
-remote endpoint should contain a 'remote-endpoint' property. If it has one, it
-must not point to anything other than the local endpoint. Two endpoints with
-their 'remote-endpoint' phandles pointing at each other form a link between the
-containing ports.
-
-device-1 {
-        port {
-                device_1_output: endpoint {
-                        remote-endpoint = <&device_2_input>;
-                };
-        };
-};
-
-device-2 {
-        port {
-                device_2_input: endpoint {
-                        remote-endpoint = <&device_1_output>;
-                };
-        };
-};
-
-Required properties
--------------------
-
-If there is more than one 'port' or more than one 'endpoint' node or 'reg'
-property present in the port and/or endpoint nodes then the following
-properties are required in a relevant parent node:
-
- - #address-cells : number of cells required to define port/endpoint
-                    identifier, should be 1.
- - #size-cells    : should be zero.
-
-Optional endpoint properties
-----------------------------
-
-- remote-endpoint: phandle to an 'endpoint' subnode of a remote device node.
