No, this is not what was asked, at least according to my understanding. Number of GPIOs is not an ABI. Neither is their relationship, where one starts and other ends. Maybe I missed something, but I could not find any users of these in the DTS. Look: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241014-a4_pinctrl-v2-3-3e74a65c285e@xxxxxxxxxxx/ Where is any of above defines? Maybe they will be visible in the consumer code, but I did not imagine such use. You expect: reset-gpios = <&ctrl GPIOAO_START 1>??? How this is anyway close to what we have for Aspeed or Tegra? I understand that there was no consumer DTS, but you have also cover letter which could bring some answers in case reviewer is confused. What did cover letter say? Let me quote: "Add pinctrl driver support for Amloigc A4 SoC" Best regards, Krzysztof
