Applied, thanks.

+Qualcomm Shared Memory Driver (SMD) binding
+
+This binding describes the Qualcomm Shared Memory Driver, a fifo based
+communication channel for sending data between the various subsystems in
+Qualcomm platforms.
+
+- compatible:
+	Usage: required
+	Value type: <stringlist>
+	Definition: must be "qcom,smd"
+
+= EDGES
+
+Each subnode of the SMD node represents a remote subsystem or a remote
+processor of some sort - or in SMD language an "edge". The name of the edges
+are not important.
+The edge is described by the following properties:
+
+- interrupts:
+	Usage: required
+	Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+	Definition: should specify the IRQ used by the remote processor to
+		    signal this processor about communication related updates
+
+- qcom,ipc:
+	Usage: required
+	Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+	Definition: three entries specifying the outgoing ipc bit used for
+		    signaling the remote processor:
+		    - phandle to a syscon node representing the apcs registers
+		    - u32 representing offset to the register within the syscon
+		    - u32 representing the ipc bit within the register
+
+- qcom,smd-edge:
+	Usage: required
+	Value type: <u32>
+	Definition: the identifier of the remote processor in the smd channel
+		    allocation table
+
+= SMD DEVICES
+
+In turn, subnodes of the "edges" represent devices tied to SMD channels on that
+"edge". The names of the devices are not important. The properties of these
+nodes are defined by the individual bindings for the SMD devices - but must
+contain the following property:
+
+- qcom,smd-channels:
+	Usage: required
+	Value type: <stringlist>
+	Definition: a list of channels tied to this device, used for matching
+		    the device to channels
+
+= EXAMPLE
+
+The following example represents a smd node, with one edge representing the
+"rpm" subsystem. For the "rpm" subsystem we have a device tied to the
+"rpm_request" channel.
+
+	apcs: syscon@f9011000 {
+		compatible = "syscon";
+		reg = <0xf9011000 0x1000>;
+	};
+
+	smd {
+		compatible = "qcom,smd";
+
+		rpm {
+			interrupts = <0 168 1>;
+			qcom,ipc = <&apcs 8 0>;
+			qcom,smd-edge = <15>;
+
+			rpm_requests {
+				compatible = "qcom,rpm-msm8974";
+				qcom,smd-channels = "rpm_requests";
+
+				...
+			};
+		};
+	};
