No that's not a good idea as long as we have both the platform bus and the AMBA bus doing essentially the same thing. We will then be having two copies of the same code in two different busses running out of sync. There may be other busses too. But I could prepare static helpers in <linux/pinctrl/consumer.h> that any bus could use. Or any driver. Probably any driver, because of this: As noted the bus cannot really execute the pinctrl calls to e.g. put a drivers pins into "sleep". Since if e.g. the bus is walking the suspend() ladder, shall it put the pins into sleep *before* or *after* calling the suspend() hook in the driver? The answer is that it does not know. Because drivers have different needs. Depending on how the hardware and system is done. I already tried to make this point: pinctrl_set_state(state_sleep); clk_disable(); power_off_voltage_domain(); May for some drivers have to be: clk_disable(); power_off_voltage_domain(); pinctrl_set_state(state_sleep); (etc) I'm not making this up, it is a very real phenomenon on the Ux500 and I don't think we are unique. Moving this handling to bus code or anywhere else invariably implies that resource acquisition/release order does not matter, and my point is that it does. >> drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-nomadik.c > > Don't see pinctrl in linux-next.
