These pins are controller via firmware driver. We are updating BOOT_PIN_CTRL 0xFF5E0250 register. [0:3] = When 0, the pins will be inputs from the board to the PS. When 1, the PS will drive these pins [4:7] = Value captured from the mode pins [8:11] = Value driven onto the mode pins, when control register bit set out = 1 The lower four-bits [0:3] we can set either input and output, based on configuration we read pin as for input [4:7] and write on pin [8:11]. Example: If we want to configure pin 1 as output, then we will configure as [0:3]=[0100], for access pin will trigger upper bit [8:11]=[0100]. Based on https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug1085-zynq-ultrascale-trm.pdf page 46 PS_MODE Input/Output Dedicated 4-bit boot mode pins sampled on POR deassertion Xilinx is using this pin for usb phy resets. Yet, .direction_input is doing nothing. So, it's not clear to me, how this sequence could work: - set gpio output high (writes bootmode) - set gpio to input (no-op, pin will remain high, not high impedance) I didn't check the previous discussions, but if this indeed works as intended, the how should be written here into the driver. That is a more useful comment than kernel doc for a stub function. -- Pengutronix e.K. | | Steuerwalder Str. 21 | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | Regards, Piyush Mehta
