I missed this point in my cons list. This won't be an issue for in kernel DT definitions (nobody is currently using the DEBOUCE option), but may be for out-of-tree DT definitions. > I suppose it's still up to the Atmel maintainers to decide whether this > is appropriate, or whether the impact to out-of-tree DT files would be > problematic. > > Assuming the DT ABI can be broken, I think I'd prefer to do so, rather > than take "non-alt" patch 4/4, since a per-pin DEBOUNCE_VAL clearly > doesn't correctly model the HW, assuming the patch description is > correct.

What about the last point in my list: "reconfigure debounce after startup" ? Here is an example that may be problematic: Let's say you have one device using multiple configuration of pins ("default", "xxx", "yyy"). The "default" config needs a particular debounce time on a given pin and the "xxx" and "yyy" configs need different debounce time on the same pin. How would you solve this with this patch approach ?
