+Sunxi specific Simple Framebuffer bindings
+
+This binding documents sunxi specific extensions to the simple-framebuffer
+bindings. The sunxi simplefb u-boot code relies on the devicetree containing
+pre-populated simplefb nodes.
+
+These extensions are intended so that u-boot can select the right node based
+on which pipeline is being used. As such they are solely intended for
+firmware / bootloader use, and the OS should ignore them.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: "allwinner,simple-framebuffer"
+- allwinner,pipeline, one of:
+ "de_be0-lcd0"
+ "de_be1-lcd1"
+ "de_be0-lcd0-hdmi"
+ "de_be1-lcd1-hdmi"
+
+Example:
+
+chosen {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+ ranges;
+
+ framebuffer@0 {
+ compatible = "allwinner,simple-framebuffer", "simple-framebuffer";
+ allwinner,pipeline = "de_be0-lcd0-hdmi";
+ clocks = <&pll5 1>, <&ahb_gates 36>, <&ahb_gates 43>,
+ <&ahb_gates 44>;
+ status = "disabled";
+ };

Simple Framebuffer
-A simple frame-buffer describes a raw memory region that may be rendered to,
-with the assumption that the display hardware has already been set up to scan
-out from that buffer.
+A simple frame-buffer describes a frame-buffer setup by firmware or
+the bootloader, with the assumption that the display hardware has already
+been set up to scan out from the memory pointed to by the reg property.
+
+Since simplefb nodes represent runtime information they must be sub-nodes of
+the chosen node (*). Simplefb nodes must be named "framebuffer@<address>".
+
+If the devicetree contains nodes for the display hardware used by a simplefb,
+then the simplefb node must contain a property called "display", which
+contains a phandle pointing to the primary display hw node, so that the OS
+knows which simplefb to disable when handing over control to a driver for the
+real hardware. The bindings for the hw nodes must specify which node is
+considered the primary node.
+
+It is advised to add display# aliases to help the OS determine how to number
+things. If display# aliases are used, then if the simplefb node contains a
+"display" property then the /aliases/display# path must point to the display
+hw node the "display" property points to, otherwise it must point directly
+to the simplefb node.
+
+If a simplefb node represents the preferred console for user interaction,
+then the chosen node's stdout-path property should point to it, or to the
+primary display hw node, as with display# aliases. If display aliases are
+used then it should be set to the alias instead.
+
+It is advised that devicetree files contain pre-filled, disabled framebuffer
+nodes, so that the firmware only needs to update the mode information and
+enable them. This way if e.g. later on support for more display clocks get
+added, the simplefb nodes will already contain this info and the firmware
+does not need to be updated.
+
+If pre-filled framebuffer nodes are used, the firmware may need extra
+information to find the right node. In that case an extra platform specific
+compatible and platform specific properties should be used and documented,
+see e.g. simple-framebuffer-sunxi.txt .
