dt-bindings: interconnect: qcom-bwmon: Add Maili cpu-bwmon compatiblegrafted
Add the Qualcomm Maili SoC compatible string for the CPU bandwidth
monitor (BWMONv4). This falls back to the sdm845-bwmon compatible,
consistent with the existing pattern used by other recent SoCs such as
sm8750 and kaanapali.

To review previous messages, press the Insert key to switch to the VT +review mode. In review mode, the arrow keys permit to browse in the VT content, +`PAGE-UP`/`PAGE-DOWN` keys go at the top/bottom of the screen, and +the `HOME` key goes back +to the cursor, hence providing very basic screen reviewing facility. + +Sound feedback can be obtained by adding the ``braille_console.sound=1`` kernel +parameter. + +For simplicity, only one braille console can be enabled, other uses of +``console=brl,...`` will be discarded. Also note that it does not interfere with +the console selection mechanism described in +:ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst <serial_console>`. + +For now, only the VisioBraille device is supported. + +Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org> |
