Hi Krzysztof

Thanks for your reply.

Our sgpio has 8  regs to control output and 8 regs to control input.
Each reg size is one byte.
and the sgpio interface has 4 pins(s_clk, d_out, d_in, LDSH).

The clock is generated by APB3, and one operation cycle includes input
and output
beginning the signal, the  LDSH is low and now will send output serial data ,
after finished output serial data the LDSH will be high and get serial
input data.

The in/out serial data size is byte * ports , and direct to update the regs.

The Soc is controlled by port, not by each bit.
So if users need 9 output pins, the driver needs to open two ports,
because each reg is one byte.
if users need 20 input pins ,the driver needs to open three ports.

The list has some rules for use, The first half is the output and the
second half is the input.
the example as below:
if i set d_out=8  d_in=8

root@buv-runbmc:~# gpioinfo 8
gpiochip8 - 16 lines:
        line   0:      unnamed       unused  output  active-high
        line   1:      unnamed       unused  output  active-high
        line   2:      unnamed       unused  output  active-high
        line   3:      unnamed       unused  output  active-high
        line   4:      unnamed       unused  output  active-high
        line   5:      unnamed       unused  output  active-high
        line   6:      unnamed       unused  output  active-high
        line   7:      unnamed       unused  output  active-high
        line   8:      unnamed       unused   input  active-high
        line   9:      unnamed       unused   input  active-high
        line  10:      unnamed       unused   input  active-high
        line  11:      unnamed       unused   input  active-high
        line  12:      unnamed       unused   input  active-high
        line  13:      unnamed       unused   input  active-high
        line  14:      unnamed       unused   input  active-high
        line  15:      unnamed       unused   input  active-high

the line0~line7 will map to output reg1 and line8~line15 will map to
input reg1 and so on.

and thanks again for your suggestions and information for dts naming.
So I need to modify it from sgpio1 to gpio8
am i correct?

Best regards,
Jim
