Thanks for these links. I wasn't aware about it.
But this device/IP is not working like this. Changing gpios to certain
state won't ensure that on reboot/reset (done in whatever way) won't
stay on values you chose.

modepin gpio driver is at BOOT_PIN_CTRL 	0xFF5E0250

(To be fair if you add additional external chip it could work like this
but I have never seen it).


But when you bring this up. Xilinx ZynqMP is providing a way how to
setup alternative boot mode which is done via
BOOT_MODE_USER 	0xFF5E0200
Bit 8 and 15-12.
Then you can setup any bootmode.

ZynqMP supports couple of modes listed here
https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/master/arch/arm/mach-zynqmp/include/mach/hardware.h#L73

but again routing to this register needs to be done via firmware
interface but it should be done via separate driver.
Is there an option to setup whatever modes you like?

I mean to simply cover all modes like this?

mode-jtag = <0>;
mode-sd = <3>;
mode-sd1 = <5>;
etc

And then users/customers can say what normal/recovery/test modes are.

Thanks,
Michal
