The maximum number of GPIOs supported by the controller 2. The maximum number of GPIOs supported by the platform These are different because of what the controller does - here's some previous discussion on the topic: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-gpio/f2875111-9ba9-43b7-b2a4-d00c8725f5a0@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ We've used ngpios to describe 2; this decision was made prior to the 2600 design - the SGPIO controller for both the 2400 and 2500 supported a maximum of 80 GPIOs. With the 2600 we have to differentiate between the two SGPIO controllers because they support a different maximum number of GPIOs. The proposed approach of different compatibles keeps the behaviour of ngpios the same across all controller implementations. Cheers, Andrew
