Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] pinctrl: add generic board-level pinctrl driver using mux framework
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:55:08 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225-pinctrl-mux-v2-4-1436a25fa454@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260225-pinctrl-mux-v2-0-1436a25fa454@nxp.com>
Many boards use on-board mux chips (often controlled by GPIOs from an I2C
expander) to switch shared signals between peripherals.
Add a generic pinctrl driver built on top of the mux framework to
centralize mux handling and avoid probe ordering issues. Keep board-level
routing out of individual drivers and supports boot-time only mux
selection.
Ensure correct probe ordering, especially when the GPIO expander is probed
later.
Signed-off-by: Frank Li <Frank.Li@nxp.com>

change in v2:
- fix copywrite by add nxp
- fix if (!*map) check
- add release_mux to call mux_state_deselect()
