From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@xxxxxxxxxx> As pointed by Rob, CRU is a kind of block that can't be guaranteed to have everything exposed as subnodes. It's a set of various registers that aren't tied to any single device. It could be described much more accurately as MFD (Multi-Function Device). Some hardware blocks may indeed want to access a register or two of the CRU which requires describing it as the "syscon". While at it replace exmple node name with the standard "pinctrl" (also pointed out by Rob). Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Linus, After being pinged about the pinctrl driver I realized I never addressed Rob's comments from the e-mail thread: [PATCH] dt-bindings: pinctrl: bcm4708-pinmux: improve example binding https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg682838.html https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/984024/ Rob has pointed correctly (as always) that describing CRU using "simple-bus" has its implications and may hunt us back if we ever realize we will want to reference it as "syscon". That is pretty likely actually. To fix that while still possible (before having that Documentation in any stable release) I'd like you to consider taking this patch for the 4.20 release if you find it possible. I'm well aware it's damn late. I'm aware I've screwed up. I'm sorry. I'm afraid I cannot fix it anyhow. Just take a look at that patch and feel free to say I'm crazy coming with it so late. --- .../devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/brcm,bcm4708-pinmux.txt | 16 +++++++--------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/brcm,bcm4708-pinmux.txt b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/brcm,bcm4708-pinmux.txt index 4fa9539070cb..8ab2d468dbdb 100644 --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/brcm,bcm4708-pinmux.txt +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/brcm,bcm4708-pinmux.txt @@ -7,13 +7,15 @@ configure controller correctly.
