Yes, I'll remove 'select GPIO_SYSFS' in next patch.

Yes, I'll re-arrange files into two files in next patch.

sppctl.c sppctl.h -- for SoC-irrelevant code.
sppctl_sp7021.c -- for SoC-relevant code.

Is this arrangement ok?

Yes, I'll remove them in next patch.

Yes, I'll check and use lowercase for all variable names in next patch.

Yes, I'll replace the statement with using ARRAY_SIZE() in next patch.

The array 'sppctlpins_all' is defined without explicit size.
ARRAY_SIZE won't work if it is not placed with define (within the same file).

Yes, I'll replace the statement with using ARRAY_SIZE() in next patch.

Yes, I'll remove them in next patch.
Could you please teach me which function I can use to print dt-node in core?

Yes, I'll replace them with kernel short forms u8, u16, u32 in next patch.

Yes, I'll review variables name with underscore prefix and give proper name in next patch

Yes, I'll replace KDBG with dev_dbg() in next patch.

Yes, I'll review and remove the casting in next patch.

Yes, I'll study other drivers and modify them.

Yes, I'll replace 'shift' with bitwise logic operation in next patch.

No, it restores pins settings from a file.
The driver supports saving pin-settings to a file and restoring pin-settings from a file.

Yes, I'll rename the variable name to improve code readability in next patch.

Yes, I'll rename the defines to SPPCTL_MODULE_NAME in next patch.

postcore_initcall() is added here to make sure pinctrl driver
will be loaded before other drivers which need pin settings.
With moving pinctrl driver earlier, HDMI-TX driver will be
loaded earlier.

Yes, I'll use fixed string directly here in next patch.

Yes, I'll do it in next patch.

I'll remove the inclusion in next patch.
It is indeed not necessary.

I'll remove the inclusion in next patch.

Yes, I'll remove KINF, KERR, KDB macros and use kernel debugging
functions dev_info(), dev_err(), dev_info() in next patch.

Yes, I'll remove 'debug' member and customized debug function
will be removed.

Yes, I'll rename 'gpiod' with '' in next patch.

Yes, I'll remove all _t suffixes in next patch.

I never use kerneldoc. Where should I put my vendor-specified kernel doc?

Thank you very much for your review.
