+2.1) gpio- and pin-controller interaction
+-----------------------------------------
-gpio-controller on a SOC might be tightly coupled with the pinctrl
-subsystem, in the sense that the pins can be used by other functions
-together with optional gpio feature.
+Some or all of the GPIOs provided by a GPIO controller may be routed to pins
+on the package via a pin controller. This allows muxing those pins between
+GPIO and other functions.
-While the pin allocation is totally managed by the pin ctrl subsystem,
-gpio (under gpiolib) is still maintained by gpio drivers. It may happen
-that different pin ranges in a SoC is managed by different gpio drivers.
+It is useful to represent which GPIOs correspond to which pins on which pin
+controllers. The gpio-ranges property described below represents this, and
+contains information structures as follows:
-This makes it logical to let gpio drivers announce their pin ranges to
-the pin ctrl subsystem and call 'pinctrl_request_gpio' in order to
-request the corresponding pin before any gpio usage.
+ gpio-range-list ::= <single-gpio-range> [gpio-range-list]
+ single-gpio-range ::=
+ <pinctrl-phandle> <gpio-base> <pinctrl-base> <count>
+ gpio-phandle : phandle to pin controller node.
+ gpio-base : Base GPIO ID in the GPIO controller
+ pinctrl-base : Base pinctrl pin ID in the pin controller
+ count : The number of GPIOs/pins in this range
-For this, the gpio controller can use a pinctrl phandle and pins to
-announce the pinrange to the pin ctrl subsystem. For example,
+The "pin controller node" mentioned above must conform to the bindings
+described in ../pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt.
+
+Previous versions of this binding required all pin controller nodes that
+were referenced by any gpio-ranges property to contain a property named
+#gpio-range-cells with value <3>. This requirement is now deprecated.
+However, that property may still exist in older device trees for
+compatibility reasons, and would still be required even in new device
+trees that need to be compatible with older software.

+Palmas Pincontrol bindings
+
+The pins of Palmas device can be set on different option and provides
+the configuration for Pull UP/DOWN, open drain etc.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: It must be one of following:
+ - "ti,palmas-pinctrl" for Palma series of the pincontrol.
+ - "ti,tps65913-pinctrl" for Palma series device TPS65913.
+ - "ti,tps80036-pinctrl" for Palma series device TPS80036.
+
+Please refer to pinctrl-bindings.txt in this directory for details of the
+common pinctrl bindings used by client devices, including the meaning of the
+phrase "pin configuration node".
+
+Palmas's pin configuration nodes act as a container for an arbitrary number of
+subnodes. Each of these subnodes represents some desired configuration for a
+list of pins. This configuration can include the mux function to select on
+those pin(s), and various pin configuration parameters, such as pull-up,
+open drain.
+
+The name of each subnode is not important; all subnodes should be enumerated
+and processed purely based on their content.
+
+Each subnode only affects those parameters that are explicitly listed. In
+other words, a subnode that lists a mux function but no pin configuration
+parameters implies no information about any pin configuration parameters.
+Similarly, a pin subnode that describes a pullup parameter implies no
+information about e.g. the mux function.
+
+Optional properties:
+- ti,palmas-enable-dvfs1: Enable DVFS1. Configure pins for DVFS1 mode.
+ Selection primary or secondary function associated to I2C2_SCL_SCE,
+ I2C2_SDA_SDO pin/pad for DVFS1 interface
+- ti,palmas-enable-dvfs2: Enable DVFS2. Configure pins for DVFS2 mode.
+ Selection primary or secondary function associated to GPADC_START
+ and SYSEN2 pin/pad for DVFS2 interface
+
+This binding uses the following generic properties as defined in
+pinctrl-bindings.txt:
+
+Required: pins
+Options: function, bias-disable, bias-pull-up, bias-pull-down,
+ bias-pin-default, drive-open-drain.
+
+Note that many of these properties are only valid for certain specific pins.
+See the Palmas device datasheet for complete details regarding which pins
+support which functionality.
+
+Valid values for pin names are:
+ gpio0, gpio1, gpio2, gpio3, gpio4, gpio5, gpio6, gpio7, gpio8, gpio9,
+ gpio10, gpio11, gpio12, gpio13, gpio14, gpio15, vac, powergood,
+ nreswarm, pwrdown, gpadc_start, reset_in, nsleep, enable1, enable2,
+ int.
+
+Valid value of function names are:
+ gpio, led, pwm, regen, sysen, clk32kgaudio, id, vbus_det, chrg_det,
+ vac, vacok, powergood, usb_psel, msecure, pwrhold, int, nreswarm,
+ simrsto, simrsti, low_vbat, wireless_chrg1, rcm, pwrdown, gpadc_start,
+ reset_in, nsleep, enable.
+
+There are 4 special functions: opt0, opt1, opt2 and opt3. If any of these
+functions is selected then directly pins register will be written with 0, 1, 2
+or 3 respectively if it is valid for that pins or list of pins.
+
+Example:
+ palmas: tps65913 {
+ ....
+ pinctrl {
+ compatible = "ti,tps65913-pinctrl";

+Kernel driver htu21
+===================
+
+Supported chips:
+ * Measurement Specialties HTU21D
+ Prefix: 'htu21'
+ Addresses scanned: none
+ Datasheet: Publicly available at the Measurement Specialties website
+ http://www.meas-spec.com/downloads/HTU21D.pdf
+
+
+Author:
+ William Markezana <william.markezana@meas-spec.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The HTU21D is a humidity and temperature sensor in a DFN package of
+only 3 x 3 mm footprint and 0.9 mm height.
+
+The devices communicate with the I2C protocol. All sensors are set to the
+same I2C address 0x40, so an entry with I2C_BOARD_INFO("htu21", 0x40) can
+be used in the board setup code.
+
+This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the
+devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices
+for details.
+
+sysfs-Interface
+---------------
+
+temp1_input - temperature input
+humidity1_input - humidity input
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+The driver uses the default resolution settings of 12 bit for humidity and 14
+bit for temperature, which results in typical measurement times of 11 ms for
+humidity and 44 ms for temperature. To keep self heating below 0.1 degree
+Celsius, the device should not be active for more than 10% of the time. For
+this reason, the driver performs no more than two measurements per second and
+reports cached information if polled more frequently.
+
+Different resolutions, the on-chip heater, using the CRC checksum and reading
+the serial number are not supported yet.

GPIO mode pitfalls
==================
-Sometime the developer may be confused by a datasheet talking about a pin
-being possible to set into "GPIO mode". It appears that what hardware
-engineers mean with "GPIO mode" is not necessarily the use case that is
-implied in the kernel interface <linux/gpio.h>: a pin that you grab from
-kernel code and then either listen for input or drive high/low to
-assert/deassert some external line.
+Due to the naming conventions used by hardware engineers, where "GPIO"
+is taken to mean different things than what the kernel does, the developer
+may be confused by a datasheet talking about a pin being possible to set
+into "GPIO mode". It appears that what hardware engineers mean with
+"GPIO mode" is not necessarily the use case that is implied in the kernel
+interface <linux/gpio.h>: a pin that you grab from kernel code and then
+either listen for input or drive high/low to assert/deassert some
+external line.
Rather hardware engineers think that "GPIO mode" means that you can
software-control a few electrical properties of the pin that you would
not be able to control if the pin was in some other mode, such as muxed in
for a device.
+The GPIO portions of a pin and its relation to a certain pin controller
+configuration and muxing logic can be constructed in several ways. Here
+are two examples:
+
+(A)
+ pin config
+ logic regs
+ | +- SPI
+ Physical pins --- pad --- pinmux -+- I2C
+ | +- mmc
+ | +- GPIO
+ pin
+ multiplex
+ logic regs
+
+Here some electrical properties of the pin can be configured no matter
+whether the pin is used for GPIO or not. If you multiplex a GPIO onto a
+pin, you can also drive it high/low from "GPIO" registers.
+Alternatively, the pin can be controlled by a certain peripheral, while
+still applying desired pin config properties. GPIO functionality is thus
+orthogonal to any other device using the pin.
+
+In this arrangement the registers for the GPIO portions of the pin controller,
+or the registers for the GPIO hardware module are likely to reside in a
+separate memory range only intended for GPIO driving, and the register
+range dealing with pin config and pin multiplexing get placed into a
+different memory range and a separate section of the data sheet.
+
+(B)
+
+ pin config
+ logic regs
+ | +- SPI
+ Physical pins --- pad --- pinmux -+- I2C
+ | | +- mmc
+ | |
+ GPIO pin
+ multiplex
+ logic regs
+
+In this arrangement, the GPIO functionality can always be enabled, such that
+e.g. a GPIO input can be used to "spy" on the SPI/I2C/MMC signal while it is
+pulsed out. It is likely possible to disrupt the traffic on the pin by doing
+wrong things on the GPIO block, as it is never really disconnected. It is
+possible that the GPIO, pin config and pin multiplex registers are placed into
+the same memory range and the same section of the data sheet, although that
+need not be the case.
+
+From a kernel point of view, however, these are different aspects of the
+hardware and shall be put into different subsystems:
+
+- Registers (or fields within registers) that control electrical
+ properties of the pin such as biasing and drive strength should be
+ exposed through the pinctrl subsystem, as "pin configuration" settings.
+
+- Registers (or fields within registers) that control muxing of signals
+ from various other HW blocks (e.g. I2C, MMC, or GPIO) onto pins should
+ be exposed through the pinctrl subssytem, as mux functions.
+
+- Registers (or fields within registers) that control GPIO functionality
+ such as setting a GPIO's output value, reading a GPIO's input value, or
+ setting GPIO pin direction should be exposed through the GPIO subsystem,
+ and if they also support interrupt capabilities, through the irqchip
+ abstraction.
+
+Depending on the exact HW register design, some functions exposed by the
+GPIO subsystem may call into the pinctrl subsystem in order to
+co-ordinate register settings across HW modules. In particular, this may
+be needed for HW with separate GPIO and pin controller HW modules, where
+e.g. GPIO direction is determined by a register in the pin controller HW
+module rather than the GPIO HW module.
+
+Electrical properties of the pin such as biasing and drive strength
+may be placed at some pin-specific register in all cases or as part
+of the GPIO register in case (B) especially. This doesn't mean that such
+properties necessarily pertain to what the Linux kernel calls "GPIO".
+
Example: a pin is usually muxed in to be used as a UART TX line. But during
system sleep, we need to put this pin into "GPIO mode" and ground it.
