Subject: [PATCH v2 03/22] pinctrl: pinctrl-generic: Make the "function" property optional
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 04:11:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514111218.94519-4-changhuang.liang@starfivetech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260514111218.94519-1-changhuang.liang@starfivetech.com>

Some pinctrl subnodes only need to configure pin properties (e.g.,
power-source, bias, drive strength) without assigning any mux function.

Currently, the driver requires a valid "function" property for all
pinctrl subnodes. This forces the addition of dummy or redundant
"function" entries when only pin configuration is needed.

Example use case:
gpios-configs {
    config {
        pins = <0 1 2 3>;
        power-source = <0>;
    };
};

Make the "function" property optional. If it is missing, skip adding
the mux map and only process the pin configuration.
