[RFC PATCH 0/3] UP Squared board drivers

[RFC PATCH 0/3] UP Squared board drivers

[Javier Arteaga]

Hi all,

This series adds platform support for AAEON's UP Squared, a x86 SBC
based on Apollo Lake [1]. Specifically, it enables control for the board
pin headers and for the LEDs, as both of these features are only
available behind a FPGA-based platform controller.

This is structured around a MFD driver that provides a regmap interface
to that platform controller to each MFD cell.

The series is carved out from an out-of-tree support patchset, initially
written by Dan O'Donovan for the original UP Board [2] and then extended
through the past year to support new entries in the lineup (UP Board, UP
Squared and UP Core) [3].

Here we only submit support for UP Squared to simplify review. Still,
the driver is designed so that it can easily gain support for the other
boards.

Questions:

* Is MFD the right fit for the platform controller?
  The intention here is to encapsulate the custom GPIO-bitbanged control
  protocol by sharing the regmap between the drivers.

* Is our use of two chained pinctrls (in patch 3/3) valid?

Thank you!

Sorry, I messed up this submission:
linux-kernel is only Cc'd on the cover letter.

I'll repost right away - please ignore this thread.
