-CAN Device Tree Bindings
-------------------------
-2011 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
+Flexcan CAN contoller on Freescale's ARM and PowerPC system-on-a-chip (SOC).
 
-fsl,flexcan-v1.0 nodes
------------------------
-In addition to the required compatible-, reg- and interrupt-properties, you can
-also specify which clock source shall be used for the controller.
+Required properties:
 
-CPI Clock- Can Protocol Interface Clock
-	This CLK_SRC bit of CTRL(control register) selects the clock source to
-	the CAN Protocol Interface(CPI) to be either the peripheral clock
-	(driven by the PLL) or the crystal oscillator clock. The selected clock
-	is the one fed to the prescaler to generate the Serial Clock (Sclock).
-	The PRESDIV field of CTRL(control register) controls a prescaler that
-	generates the Serial Clock (Sclock), whose period defines the
-	time quantum used to compose the CAN waveform.
+- compatible : Should be "fsl,<processor>-flexcan"
 
-Can Engine Clock Source
-	There are two sources for CAN clock
-	- Platform Clock  It represents the bus clock
-	- Oscillator Clock
+  An implementation should also claim any of the following compatibles
+  that it is fully backwards compatible with:
 
-	Peripheral Clock (PLL)
-	--------------
-		     |
-		    ---------		      -------------
-		    |       |CPI Clock	      | Prescaler |       Sclock
-		    |       |---------------->| (1.. 256) |------------>
-		    ---------		      -------------
-                     |  |
-	--------------  ---------------------CLK_SRC
-	Oscillator Clock
+  - fsl,p1010-flexcan
 
-- fsl,flexcan-clock-source : CAN Engine Clock Source.This property selects
-			     the peripheral clock. PLL clock is fed to the
-			     prescaler to generate the Serial Clock (Sclock).
-			     Valid values are "oscillator" and "platform"
-			     "oscillator": CAN engine clock source is oscillator clock.
-			     "platform" The CAN engine clock source is the bus clock
-		             (platform clock).
+- reg : Offset and length of the register set for this device
+- interrupts : Interrupt tuple for this device
 
-- fsl,flexcan-clock-divider : for the reference and system clock, an additional
-			      clock divider can be specified.
-- clock-frequency: frequency required to calculate the bitrate for FlexCAN.
+Example:
 
-Note:
-	- v1.0 of flexcan-v1.0 represent the IP block version for P1010 SOC.
-	- P1010 does not have oscillator as the Clock Source.So the default
-	  Clock Source is platform clock.
-Examples:
-
-	can0@1c000 {
-		compatible = "fsl,flexcan-v1.0";
+	can@1c000 {
+		compatible = "fsl,p1010-flexcan";
 		reg = <0x1c000 0x1000>;
 		interrupts = <48 0x2>;
 		interrupt-parent = <&mpic>;
-		fsl,flexcan-clock-source = "platform";
-		fsl,flexcan-clock-divider = <2>;
-		clock-frequency = <fixed by u-boot>;
