mfd: syscon: Add Atmel GPBR DT bindings documention
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The GPBR block provides a set of battery-backed registers that can be used
to save data which need to be kept when the system is powered down and
VDD-core is maintained by an external battery.

A typical usage is the RTT block (when used as an RTC) which needs one of
those registers to save the current time.

* Device tree bindings for Atmel GPBR (General Purpose Backup Registers)

The GPBR are a set of battery-backed registers.

Required properties:
- compatible: "atmel,at91sam9260-gpbr", "syscon"
- reg: contains offset/length value of the GPBR memory
region.

Example:

gpbr: gpbr@fffffd50 {
compatible = "atmel,at91sam9260-gpbr", "syscon";
reg = <0xfffffd50 0x10>;
};
