2018-06-05dt-bindings: submitting-patches: add guidance on patch content and subjectRob Herring1-1/+8
Clarify that binding patches should also include include/dt-bindings/* as part of them. The binding doc defines the ABI and the includes are part of that. Add some details on the preferred subject prefix and contents. Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>
2016-10-24docs: fix locations of several documents that got movedMauro Carvalho Chehab1-1/+1
The previous patch renamed several files that are cross-referenced along the Kernel documentation. Adjust the links to point to the right places. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
2015-03-10dt: submitting-patches: clarify that DT maintainers are to be cced on bindingsMatt Porter1-0/+3
The exact steps provided for submitting binding patches can be read as requiring the bindings to be sent only to the devicetree@vger.kernel.org list. Since the DT maintainers would like to be Cced on any binding submissions, make this requirement explicit in step 2.

2015-02-03Documentation: DT: document compatible string existence requirementPaul Walmsley1-0/+23
DT maintainers require all compatible strings used in chip or board DTS file to be previously documented somewhere in Documentation/devicetree/bindings, per: http://marc.info/?l=linux-tegra&m=142201349727836&w=2 Document this requirement in the DT patch submission requirements text file. This second version updates the documentation to align with Rob's comments here: http://marc.info/?l=devicetree&m=142255654213019&w=2 Signed-off-by: Paul Walmsley <paul@pwsan.com> Cc: Rob Herring <robh+dt@kernel.org> Cc: Pawel Moll <pawel.moll@arm.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Ian Campbell <ijc+devicetree@hellion.org.uk> Cc: Kumar Gala <galak@codeaurora.org> Cc: Javier Martinez Canillas <javier.martinez@collabora.co.uk> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Paul Walmsley <pwalmsley@nvidia.com> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>
2014-10-21Documentation: dt-bindings: Explain order in patch seriesJavier Martinez Canillas1-0/+3
When posting a patch series that includes both code implementing a Device Tree binding and its associated documentation, the DT docs should come in the series before the implementation. This not only avoids checkpatch.pl to complain about undocumented bindings but also makes the review process easier. Document this convention since it may not be obvious.

Add some guidance documentation about what to do with device tree bindings and how ABI stability is to be handled. Signed-off-by: Jason Cooper <jason@lakedaemon.net> [grant.likely: added some clarification on subsystem binding rules] Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@linaro.org>
