Re: [PATCH v4 3/3] dt-bindings: gpio: add NPCM sgpio driver bindings

[Jim Liu <jim.t90615@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Krzysztof

sorry for reply late.
I think I need to explain more details about the clock.

The NPCM7xx / NPCM8xx  SGPIO feature have 4 pins.
picture is as below:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E9i_Avh-AZV9IEZO1HLMT4EtgCBe46OV/view?usp=sharing

The clock is generated from npcm7xx APB.
The bus frequency is derived from npcm7xx APB not HC595/HC165.
Users can connect  1~8 HC595 on DOUT pin to decode the serial data for
HC595 A~H pin
and can connect  1~8 HC165 on DIN pin to encode the serial data to
send to NPCM7xx.

The test device is as below:
https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/345467/TI/SN74HC595N.html
https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/27899/TI/SN74HC165N.html

NPCM7xx/NPCM8xx have two sgpio modules;
each module can support up to 64 output pins,and up to 64 input pins.
If the user needs 64 output pins , user needs to connect 8 HC595.
If the user needs 64 input pins , user needs to connect 8 HC165.

the HC595 and HC165 connect is as below:
NPCM7xx_DOUT    ->   HC595  SER pin
NPCM7xx_SCLK     ->   HC595  SRCLK pin
NPCM7xx_LDSH    ->    HC595  RCLK pin

NPCM7xx_SCLK     ->   HC165  CLK pin
NPCM7xx_LDSH     ->   HC165  SH/LD pin
NPCM7xx_DIN        ->    HC165  QH pin

The frequency is not derived from the input clock. so i think maybe
the yaml needs to describe it.
if yaml file still didn't need please let me know.

And if you have any confusion about the sgpio feature or the connect
test please let me know.


Best regards,
Jim
