Hi Rob, Levin,

sorry for being late to the party.

I would disagree quite a bit here. The grf are the "general register files",
a bunch of registers used for quite a lot of things, and so it seems
among other users, also a gpio-controller for some more random pins
not controlled through the regular gpio controllers.

For a more fully stocked grf, please see
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288.dtsi#n855
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399.dtsi#n1338

So the gpio controller should definitly also be a subnode.

The gpio in question is called "mute", so I'd think the gpio-syscon driver
should just define a "rockchip,rk3328-gpio-mute" compatible and contain
all the register voodoo in the driver itself and not define it in the dt.

So it should probably look like

grf: syscon at ff100000 {
        compatible = "rockchip,rk3328-grf", "syscon", "simple-mfd";

	[all the other syscon sub-devices]

	gpio_mute: gpio-mute {
		compatible = "rockchip,rk3328-gpio-mute";
		gpio-controller;
		#gpio-cells = <2>;
	};

	[more other syscon sub-devices]
};
