[PATCH RFC] dt-bindings: pinctrl: support specifying pins

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add support for "pins" node with pin@ subnodes. This allows specifying
all pins (and their names) at DT level.

While working with pinctrl in Linux I started wondering if we could
start specifying pins in DT instead of Linux drivers. When working with
DT we usually avoid hardcoding hardware description in drivers so it
isn't clear to me why it doesn't apply to pins.

Please let me know if this makes sense. If by some chance I'm correct I
think that specifying groups and functions could follow too.

FWIW: I didn't start working on Linux reading pins from DT yet.
