[PATCH v4 2/9] dt-bindings: power: reboot: Add Apple Mac SMC Reboot Controller
From: Sven Peter via B4 Relay
Date: Sat May 03 2025 - 06:08:12 EST
From: Sven Peter <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
On Apple Silicon machines a clean shutdown or reboot requires
talking to SMC and writing to NVMEM cells. Add a binding for
this MFD sub-device.

+title: Apple SMC Reboot Controller
+
+description: |
+ The Apple System Management Controller (SMC) provides reboot functionality
+ on Apple Silicon SoCs. It uses NVMEM cells to store and track various
+ system state information related to boot, shutdown, and panic events.
