[PATCH RFC v2 5/7] pinctrl: Delete PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_IMPEDANCE_OHMS support
Posted by Dan Carpenter 2 months, 2 weeks ago
The argument for PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_IMPEDANCE_OHMS is supposed to
be expressed in terms of ohms.  But the pinctrl-scmi driver was
implementing it the same as PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT and writing either a
zero or one to the pin.

The SCMI protocol doesn't have an support configuration type so just
delete this code instead of fixing it.

Wouldn't this risk to break any deployed system which already happen to
misuse this ? I am thinking especially of the guys who have actively
developed this driver and the related SCMI server, like EPAM and NXP ?
