+FSI bus & engine generic device tree bindings
+=============================================
+
+The FSI bus is probe-able, so the OS is able to enumerate FSI slaves, and
+engines within those slaves. However, we have a facility to match devicetree
+nodes to probed engines. This allows for fsi engines to expose non-probeable
+busses, which are then exposed by the device tree. For example, an FSI engine
+that is an I2C master - the I2C bus can be described by the device tree under
+the engine's device tree node.
+
+FSI masters may require their own DT nodes (to describe the master HW itself);
+that requirement is defined by the master's implementation, and is described by
+the fsi-master-* binding specifications.
+
+Under the masters' nodes, we can describe the bus topology using nodes to
+represent the FSI slaves and their slave engines. As a basic outline:
+
+  fsi-master {
+      /* top-level of FSI bus topology, bound to an FSI master driver and
+       * exposes an FSI bus */
+
+      fsi-slave@<link,id> {
+          /* this node defines the FSI slave device, and is handled
+           * entirely with FSI core code */
+
+          fsi-slave-engine@<addr> {
+              /* this node defines the engine endpoint & address range, which
+               * is bound to the relevant fsi device driver */
+               ...
+          };
+
+          fsi-slave-engine@<addr> {
+              ...
+          };
+
+      };
+  };
+
+Note that since the bus is probe-able, some (or all) of the topology may
+not be described; this binding only provides an optional facility for
+adding subordinate device tree nodes as children of FSI engines.
+
+FSI masters
+-----------
+
+FSI master nodes declare themselves as such with the "fsi-master" compatible
+value. It's likely that an implementation-specific compatible value will
+be needed as well, for example:
+
+    compatible = "fsi-master-gpio", "fsi-master";
+
+Since the master nodes describe the top-level of the FSI topology, they also
+need to declare the FSI-standard addressing scheme. This requires two cells for
+addresses (link index and slave ID), and no size:
+
+    #address-cells = <2>;
+    #size-cells = <0>;
+
+FSI slaves
+----------
+
+Slaves are identified by a (link-index, slave-id) pair, so require two cells
+for an address identifier. Since these are not a range, no size cells are
+required. For an example, a slave on link 1, with ID 2, could be represented
+as:
+
+    cfam@1,2 {
+        reg = <1 2>;
+	[...];
+    }
+
+Each slave provides an address-space, under which the engines are accessible.
+That address space has a maximum of 23 bits, so we use one cell to represent
+addresses and sizes in the slave address space:
+
+    #address-cells = <1>;
+    #size-cells = <1>;
+
+
+FSI engines (devices)
+---------------------
+
+Engines are identified by their address under the slaves' address spaces. We
+use a single cell for address and size. Engine nodes represent the endpoint
+FSI device, and are passed to those FSI device drivers' ->probe() functions.
+
+For example, for a slave using a single 0x400-byte page starting at address
+0xc00:
+
+    engine@c00 {
+        reg = <0xc00 0x400>;
+    };
+
+
+Full example
+------------
+
+Here's an example that illustrates:
+ - an FSI master
+   - connected to an FSI slave
+     - that contains an engine that is an I2C master
+       - connected to an I2C EEPROM
+
+The FSI master may be connected to additional slaves, and slaves may have
+additional engines, but they don't necessarily need to be describe in the
+device tree if no extra platform information is required.
