[v4] Pinctrl: A4: Add pinctrl driver

[PATCH RFC v4 0/4] Pinctrl: A4: Add pinctrl driver

Posted by Xianwei Zhao via B4 Relay 3 weeks, 2 days ago

Add pinctrl driver support for Amloigc A4 SoC

I want to find out what kind of solution is feasible to
meet the needs of all parties. This RFC verion is one of them.

All of Amogic SoCs GPIO device requirement is met here by
adding GPIO bank definition instead of the pin definition.
Binding header files will no longer be added to future
SoCs's pin devices.

The pinctrl software only adds insterface of of_xlate to support
for transformation without affecting the overall framework and
is compatible with previous drivers.

The code in DTS file is also readable when using GPIO, as below:

reset-gpios = <&gpio AMLOGIC_GPIO(AMLOGIC_GPIO_X, 6) GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;

Changes in v4:
- Add interface of of_xlate support.
- Add const for some variable.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241018-a4_pinctrl-v3-0-e76fd1cf01d7@amlogic.com

Changes in v3:
- Remove head file from binding.
- Move GPIO define to file *.c.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241014-a4_pinctrl-v2-0-3e74a65c285e@amlogic.com

Changes in v2:
- Use one marco instead of all pin define.
- Add unit name for dts node.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240611-a4_pinctrl-v1-0-dc487b1977b3@amlogic.com/

Fine, but why not use 3 cells instead of this macro ? Since you introduced the
custom xlate, parsing the 3 cells would be easier that using a macro:

reset-gpios = <&gpio AMLOGIC_GPIO_X 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;

I was prepared to do this before, mainly later considering incompatible 
binding, using the original two parameter passing

If use three parameters, I  need to modify the corresponding binding 
property. in file:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/amlogic,meson-pinctrl-common.yaml

       "#gpio-cells":
         const: 2
It must be compatible with the current number of parameters(3)

Yes, you may move the #gpio-cells definition out of the common yaml
and define them in the soc spefic yaml and set it to 3 for a4.

I can modify 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/amlogic,meson-pinctrl-common.yaml 
file
change
         "#gpio-cells":
           const: 2
to
         "#gpio-cells":
           enum: [2, 3]

  and make it to compatible with subsequent ones. Do you feel OK?
