What kind of compatible string is that "generic-pinconf"?

There is no driver that can instantiate against this string but I'm not
100% sure about such things. Is there some other driver doing this?

Else I think it'd just be removed.

It did not exist before this patch series.

I thought it would be good idea to add a compatible string to tell if the pinctrl subnodes support the generic-pinconf binding,
without modifying the current compatible strings:
if compatible string contains the "generic-pinconf" then the pinconf definitions should be considered generic.

However, after discussing it with Stephen, Jean-Christophe and Nicolas, I no longer think this is a good idea
(backward compatibility issues).




+                               pcfg_none: pcfg_none {
+                                       bias-disable;
+                               };
+
+                               pcfg_pull_up: pcfg_pull_up {
+                                       bias-pull-up;
+                               };
Nice.

+                               pcfg_deglitch: pcfg_deglitch {
+                                       input-deglitch = <1>;
+                               };
+
+                               pcfg_pull_up_deglitch: pcfg_pull_up_deglitch {
+                                       bias-pull-up;
+                                       input-deglitch = <1>;
+                               };
input-deglitch seems like a proposed generic binding but I haven't seen
these yet?
(It might be in my violently exploding INBOX though sorry in that case.)

This would need adding to
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt
Plus changes to pinctrl core for handling.

This was added in the first patch of this series:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/24/99

BTW: this is really moving in the right direction!

Yours,
Linus Walleij

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Boris
