+# Driver Devicetree Entries
+
+Let's take a look at an example entry from
+``src/mainboard/google/hatch/variants/hatch/overridetree.cb``:
+
+```
+device pci 15.0 on
+ chip drivers/i2c/generic
+ register "hid" = ""ELAN0000""
+ register "desc" = ""ELAN Touchpad""
+ register "irq" = "ACPI_IRQ_WAKE_LEVEL_LOW(GPP_A21_IRQ)"
+ register "wake" = "GPE0_DW0_21"
+ device i2c 15 on end
+ end
+end # I2C #0
+```
+
+When this entry is processed during ramstage, it will create a device in the
+ACPI SSDT table (all devices in devicetrees end up in the SSDT table). The ACPI
+generation routines in coreboot actually generate the raw bytecode that
+represents the device's structure, but looking at ASL code is easier to
+understand; see below for what the disassembled bytecode looks like:
+
+```
+Scope (\_SB.PCI0.I2C0)
+{
+ Device (D015)
+ {
+ Name (_HID, "ELAN0000") // _HID: Hardware ID
+ Name (_UID, Zero) // _UID: Unique ID
+ Name (_DDN, "ELAN Touchpad") // _DDN: DOS Device Name
+ Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) // _STA: Status
+ {
+ Return (0x0F)
+ }
+ Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () // _CRS: Current Resource Settings
+ {
+ I2cSerialBusV2 (0x0015, ControllerInitiated, 400000,
+ AddressingMode7Bit, "\\_SB.PCI0.I2C0",
+ 0x00, ResourceConsumer, , Exclusive, )
+ Interrupt (ResourceConsumer, Level, ActiveLow, ExclusiveAndWake, ,, )
+ {
+ 0x0000002D,
+ }
+ })
+ Name (_S0W, ACPI_DEVICE_SLEEP_D3_HOT) // _S0W: S0 Device Wake State
+ Name (_PRW, Package (0x02) // _PRW: Power Resources for Wake
+ {
+ 0x15, // GPE #21
+ 0x03 // Sleep state S3
+ })
+ }
+}
+```
+
+You can see it generates _HID, _UID, _DDN, _STA, _CRS, _S0W, and _PRW
+names/methods in the Device's scope.
+
+## Utilizing a device driver
+
+The device driver must be enabled for your build. There will be a CONFIG option
+in the Kconfig file in the directory that the driver is in (e.g.,
+``src/drivers/i2c/generic`` contains a Kconfig file; the option here is named
+CONFIG_DRIVERS_I2C_GENERIC). The config option will need to be added to your
+mainboard's Kconfig file (e.g., ``src/mainboard/google/hatch/Kconfig``) in order
+to be compiled into your build.
+
+## Diving into the above example:
+
+Let's take a look at how the devicetree language corresponds to the generated
+ASL.
+
+First, note this:
+
+```
+ chip drivers/i2c/generic
+```
+
+This means that the device driver we're using has a corresponding structure,
+located at ``src/drivers/i2c/generic/chip.h``, named **struct
+drivers_i2c_generic_config** and it contains many properties you can specify to
+be included in the ACPI table.
+
+### hid
+
+```
+ register "hid" = ""ELAN0000""
+```
+
+This corresponds to **const char *hid** in the struct. In the ACPI ASL, it
+translates to:
+
+```
+ Name (_HID, "ELAN0000") // _HID: Hardware ID
+```
+
+under the device. **This property is used to match the device to its driver
+during enumeration in the OS.**
+
+### desc
+
+```
+ register "desc" = ""ELAN Touchpad""
+```
+
+corresponds to **const char *desc** and in ASL:
+
+```
+ Name (_DDN, "ELAN Touchpad") // _DDN: DOS Device Name
+```
+
+### irq
+
+It also adds the interrupt,
+
+```
+ Interrupt (ResourceConsumer, Level, ActiveLow, ExclusiveAndWake, ,, )
+ {
+ 0x0000002D,
+ }
+```
+
+which comes from:
+
+```
+ register "irq" = "ACPI_IRQ_WAKE_LEVEL_LOW(GPP_A21_IRQ)"
+```
+
+The GPIO pin IRQ settings control the "Level", "ActiveLow", and
+"ExclusiveAndWake" settings seen above (level means it is a level-triggered
+interrupt as opposed to edge-triggered; active low means the interrupt is
+triggered when the signal is low).
+
+Note that the ACPI_IRQ_WAKE_LEVEL_LOW macro informs the platform that the GPIO
+will be routed through SCI (ACPI's System Control Interrupt) for use as a wake
+source. Also note that the IRQ names are SoC-specific, and you will need to
+find the names in your SoC's header file. The ACPI_* macros are defined in
+``src/arch/x86/include/acpi/acpi_device.h``.
+
+Using a GPIO as an IRQ requires that it is configured in coreboot correctly.
+This is often done in a mainboard-specific file named ``gpio.c``.
+
+### wake
+
+The last register is:
+
+```
+ register "wake" = "GPE0_DW0_21"
+```
+
+which indicates that the method of waking the system using the touchpad will be
+through a GPE, #21 associated with DW0, which is set up in devicetree.cb from
+this example. The "21" indicates GPP_X21, where GPP_X is mapped onto DW0
+elsewhere in the devicetree.
+
+The last bit of the definition of that device includes:
+
+```
+ device i2c 15 on end
+```
+
+which means it's an I2C device, with 7-bit address 0x15, and the device is "on",
+meaning it will be exposed in the ACPI table. The PCI device that the
+controller is located in determines which I2C bus the device is expected to be
+found on. In this example, this is I2C bus 0. This also determines the ACPI
+"Scope" that the device names and methods will live under, in this case
+"\_SB.PCI0.I2C0".
+
+## Other auto-generated names
+
+(see [ACPI specification
+6.3](https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6_3_final_Jan30.pdf)
+for more details on ACPI methods)
+
+### _S0W (S0 Device Wake State)
+_S0W indicates the deepest S0 sleep state this device can wake itself from,
+which in this case is ACPI_DEVICE_SLEEP_D3_HOT, representing _D3hot_.
+
+### _PRW (Power Resources for Wake)
+_PRW indicates the power resources and events required for wake. There are no
+dependent power resources, but the GPE (GPE0_DW0_21) is mentioned here (0x15),
+as well as the deepest sleep state supporting waking the system (3), which is
+S3.
+
+### _STA (Status)
+The _STA method is generated automatically, and its values, 0xF, indicates the
+following:
+
+ Bit [0] – Set if the device is present.
+ Bit [1] – Set if the device is enabled and decoding its resources.
+ Bit [2] – Set if the device should be shown in the UI.
+ Bit [3] – Set if the device is functioning properly (cleared if device failed its diagnostics).
+
+### _CRS (Current resource settings)
+The _CRS method is generated automatically, as the driver knows it is an I2C
+controller, and so specifies how to configure the controller for proper
+operation with the touchpad.
+
+```
+Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () // _CRS: Current Resource Settings
+{
+ I2cSerialBusV2 (0x0015, ControllerInitiated, 400000,
+ AddressingMode7Bit, "\\_SB.PCI0.I2C0",
+ 0x00, ResourceConsumer, , Exclusive, )
+```
