Hm.. I still think that we don't mux the pin to some special function. It is still a gpio input pin and if we don't request the pin we could read the input from user-space too and get a 'valid' value. Muxing would happen if we change the pad to so called _alternate_ function. Anyway, lets find a binding description: name: - dlg,vsel-sense-gpios IMHO this is very descriptive and needs no update. description: - A GPIO reference to a local general purpose input, [1] calls it GPI. The DA9062 regulators can select between voltage-a/-b settings. Each regulator has a VBUCK*_GPI or VLDO*_GPI input to determine the active setting. In front of the VBUCK*_GPI/VLDO*_GPI input is a mux to select between different signal sources, valid sources are: the internal sequencer, GPI1, GPI2 and GPI3. See [1] table 63 for more information. Most the time the internal sequencer is fine but sometimes it is necessary to use the signal from the DA9062 GPI pads. This binding covers the second use case. Attention: Sharing the same GPI for other purposes or across multiple regulators is possible but the polarity setting must equal.
