A part of my machine looks as follows (simplified):
,------------------------.
| ,---------. |
| | imx25 o--RX----◁---o---
| | o--GPIO--' |
| `---------' |
`------------------------'
that is, there is a driver on the RX line that must be enabled before
the UART can be used. (That is necessary because the default mux of the
RX pad after reset is an output.)
To represent this in the device tree I do:
pinctrl_uart5: uart5 {
fsl,pins = <
...
MX25_PAD_LBA__UART5_RXD 0x00000000
MX25_PAD_CS5__GPIO_3_21 0x00002001
...
};
&uart5 {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart5>;
enable-gpio = <&gpio3 21 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
...
};
This way it's ensured that the gpio is only enabled when the LBA pad is
muxed as RX (together with the bootloader that sets the GPIO high).

Hello,
I'm not sure about the naming. Do you have a better suggestion how to handle
this situation?
Best regards
Uwe
