-ARM Microchip SoCs (aka AT91)
-=============================
-
-
-Introduction
-------------
-This document gives useful information about the ARM Microchip SoCs that are
-currently supported in Linux Mainline (you know, the one on kernel.org).
-
-It is important to note that the Microchip (previously Atmel) ARM-based MPU
-product line is historically named "AT91" or "at91" throughout the Linux kernel
-development process even if this product prefix has completely disappeared from
-the official Microchip product name. Anyway, files, directories, git trees,
-git branches/tags and email subject always contain this "at91" sub-string.
-
-
-AT91 SoCs
----------
-Documentation and detailed datasheet for each product are available on
-the Microchip website: http://www.microchip.com.

-Linux kernel information
-------------------------
-Linux kernel mach directory: arch/arm/mach-at91
-MAINTAINERS entry is: "ARM/Microchip (AT91) SoC support"
-
-
-Device Tree for AT91 SoCs and boards
-------------------------------------
-All AT91 SoCs are converted to Device Tree. Since Linux 3.19, these products
-must use this method to boot the Linux kernel.
-
-Work In Progress statement:
-Device Tree files and Device Tree bindings that apply to AT91 SoCs and boards are
-considered as "Unstable". To be completely clear, any at91 binding can change at
-any time. So, be sure to use a Device Tree Binary and a Kernel Image generated from
-the same source tree.
-Please refer to the Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ABI.txt file for a
-definition of a "Stable" binding/ABI.
-This statement will be removed by AT91 MAINTAINERS when appropriate.
-
-Naming conventions and best practice:
-
-- SoCs Device Tree Source Include files are named after the official name of
- the product (at91sam9g20.dtsi or sama5d33.dtsi for instance).
-- Device Tree Source Include files (.dtsi) are used to collect common nodes that can be
- shared across SoCs or boards (sama5d3.dtsi or at91sam9x5cm.dtsi for instance).
- When collecting nodes for a particular peripheral or topic, the identifier have to
- be placed at the end of the file name, separated with a "_" (at91sam9x5_can.dtsi
- or sama5d3_gmac.dtsi for example).
-- board Device Tree Source files (.dts) are prefixed by the string "at91-" so
- that they can be identified easily. Note that some files are historical exceptions
- to this rule (sama5d3[13456]ek.dts, usb_a9g20.dts or animeo_ip.dts for example).
