Hey everyone.
This patch series brings complete refactoring to the Ralink pinctrl driver
and its subdrivers.
The mt7620 pinctrl subdriver supports MT7628 and MT7688 SoCs along with
MT7620. These two share the same pin layout. The code used for MT7628 and
MT7688 is renamed from MT7628/mt7628an to MT76X8.
Ralink pinctrl driver is called rt2880 which is the name of the Ralink
RT2880 SoC. A subdriver for the Ralink RT2880 SoC is called rt288x. Rename
rt2880 to ralink.
Rename code from pinmux to pinctrl for where the operation is not about the
muxing of pins.
Rename rt288x pinctrl subdriver for the RT2880 SoC to rt2880.
Variables for functions include "grp" on the Ralink MT7620 and MT7621
subdrivers. Rename them to "func" instead as they define the functions for
the pin groups. This is already the case for the other 3 subdrivers;
RT2880, RT305x, RT3883.
Fix Kconfig to call the subdrivers, well, subdrivers.
Add new compatible strings for each subdriver and update DT binding
accordingly.
Add Ralink pinctrl driver to MAINTAINERS and add me and Sergio as the
maintainers.
Finally, fix the current rt2880 documentation and add binding for all of
the subdrivers.
I have the patches here should anyone prefer to read them there:
https://github.com/arinc9/linux/commits/ralink-pinctrl-refactor
Ralink pinctrl driver and the subdrivers were compile tested.
MT7621 pinctrl subdriver was tested on a private mt7621 board.
YAML bindings checked with:
ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips-linux-gnu- make dt_binding_check DT_SCHEMA_FILES=Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/ -j$(nproc)

I think you cannot change compatible strings because you have to be
compatible with previous stuff. That is the reason why when I
refactored all of this stuff from 'arch/mips/ralink' into
'drivers/pinctrl' I maintained the same for all of them and only
created one binding for all. I know that these SoCs are mostly used in
openWRT and the way of doing things there is that when a new version
is released a new dtb is also compiled so I understand the motivation
of the change itself. In any case, Rob has the last word here, not me
:).
I looked around pinctrl drivers for mediatek. What I see there is that
each subdriver has its own compatible string. There's a documentation
for each subdriver. Each subdriver contains different pin groups and
functions like on ralink. My patch series basically does the same for
Ralink.
I don't see this patch series causing much of an issue for OpenWrt.
They're going to have to update their Ralink DTs with the new compatible
strings when they either switch to the next LTS kernel or decide to
backport Ralink pinctrl changes to the current LTS kernel.
Cheers.
