Hi Rahul, Pankaj, Arun,
[adding linux-arm-kernel, devicetree MLs and DT people on Cc]
I think it's good time to stop accepting DTS files like this and force
new
ones to use the proper structure with soc node, labels for every node and
node references.
I am unable to find information on SoC node and grouping inside SoC node.
Please
share some pointers.
Well, there is not much information needed about this. Basically all the
devices built into the SoC should be listed under respective bus nodes or a
single soc node, instead of root level. Such node should be a "simple-bus"
and just group the components together to separate board-specific devices
(which are still at root level) from SoC devices.
Even though it might seem useless, it improves DT readability a bit and
still most of the platforms use this approach, so for consistency, Exynos
should use too.
Just for reference, back in April 2013, in his review of S3C64xx DT series
[1], Rob Herring requested that we don't submit any new device trees using
flat approach and start using bus hierarchy.

+ samsung,pins = "gpa2-0", "gpa2-1", "gpa2-2",
"gpa2-3";
What is the reason for SPI0 to have 4 pins, while SPI1 has just 3?
I should align SPI1 with SPI0.
Are you sure that SPI0 is the correct one? SPI usually uses four pins - SDI,
SDO, SCK and nCS, but we always used to treat nCS as a simple GPIO, due to
the fact that the controller can only support one dedicated chip select and
with direct GPIO control you can have more.
What is the fourth pin here?
As you said, these are CLK, SS, MISO, MOSI (gpa2-0 to gpa2-3). Fourth pin is
CS. It can be defined as a simple GPIO but better to include it in the
SPI pingroup
as it belongs to there.
I have to disagree here.
If you define a pin in pinctrl group then it is tied to this specific
hardware function and you can't use it as GPIO.
Since it's board specific to use it as HW chip select or GPIO chip
select (the usual setup), it should not be included in this group.
Best regards,
Tomasz
