+Qualcomm Always-On Subsystem side channel binding
+
+This binding describes the hardware component responsible for side channel
+requests to the always-on subsystem (AOSS), used for certain power management
+requests that is not handled by the standard RPMh interface. Each client in the
+SoC has it's own block of message RAM and IRQ for communication with the AOSS.
+The protocol used to communicate in the message RAM is known as Qualcomm
+Messaging Protocol (QMP)
+
+The AOSS side channel exposes control over a set of resources, used to control
+a set of debug related clocks and to affect the low power state of resources
+related to the secondary subsystems. These resources are exposed as a set of
+power-domains.
+
+- compatible:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <string>
+ Definition: must be "qcom,sdm845-aoss-qmp"
+
+- reg:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+ Definition: the base address and size of the message RAM for this
+ client's communication with the AOSS
+
+- interrupts:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+ Definition: should specify the AOSS message IRQ for this client
+
+- mboxes:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+ Definition: reference to the mailbox representing the outgoing doorbell
+ in APCS for this client, as described in mailbox/mailbox.txt
+
+- #clock-cells:
+ Usage: optional
+ Value type: <u32>
+ Definition: must be 0
+ The single clock represents the QDSS clock.
+
+- #power-domain-cells:
+ Usage: optional
+ Value type: <u32>
+ Definition: must be 1
+ The provided power-domains are:
+ CDSP state (0), LPASS state (1), modem state (2), SLPI
+ state (3), SPSS state (4) and Venus state (5).
+
+= SUBNODES
+The AOSS side channel also provides the controls for three cooling devices,
+these are expressed as subnodes of the QMP node. The name of the node is used
+to identify the resource and must therefor be "cx", "mx" or "ebi".
+
+- #cooling-cells:
+ Usage: optional
+ Value type: <u32>
+ Definition: must be 2
+
+= EXAMPLE
+
+The following example represents the AOSS side-channel message RAM and the
+mechanism exposing the power-domains, as found in SDM845.
+
+ aoss_qmp: qmp@c300000 {
+ compatible = "qcom,sdm845-aoss-qmp";
+ reg = <0x0c300000 0x100000>;
+ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 389 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING>;
+ mboxes = <&apss_shared 0>;
+
+ #power-domain-cells = <1>;
+
+ cx_cdev: cx {
+ #cooling-cells = <2>;
+ };
+
+ mx_cdev: mx {
+ #cooling-cells = <2>;
+ };
+ };
