+* Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI)
+
+Firmware implementing the SDEI functions described in ARM document number
+ARM DEN 0054A ("Software Delegated Exception Interface") can be used by
+Linux to receive notification of events such as those generated by
+firmware-first error handling, or from an IRQ that has been promoted to
+a firmware-assisted NMI.
+
+The interface provides a number of API functions for registering callbacks
+and enabling/disabling events. Functions are invoked by trapping to the
+privilege level of the SDEI firmware (specified as part of the binding
+below) and passing arguments in a manner specified by the "SMC Calling
+Convention (ARM DEN 0028B):
+
+	 r0		=> 32-bit Function ID / return value
+	{r1 - r3}	=> Parameters
+
+Note that the immediate field of the trapping instruction must be set
+to #0.
+
+The SDEI_EVENT_REGISTER function registers a callback in the kernel
+text to handle the specified event number.
+
+The sdei node should be a child node of '/firmware' and have required
+properties:
+
+ - compatible    : should contain:
+	* "arm,sdei-1.0" : For implementations complying to SDEI version 1.x.
+
+ - method        : The method of calling the SDEI firmware. Permitted
+                   values are:
+	* "smc" : SMC #0, with the register assignments specified in this
+	          binding.
+	* "hvc" : HVC #0, with the register assignments specified in this
+	          binding.
+Example:
+	firmware {
+		sdei {
+			compatible	= "arm,sdei-1.0";
+			method		= "smc";
+		};
+	};
