[PATCH v5 0/7] gpio: introduce a gpio driver for SCMI

[Dan Carpenter]

This basically abandons my earlier attempts and goes back to Takahiro
Akashi's driver.  Here is the link to Takahiro's patchset:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231005025843.508689-1-takahiro.akashi@linaro.org/

v5: Addresses Andy's cleanups to the driver.
    Adrresses Krzysztof's comments about the dt spec file.
    And almost all the subsystem prefixes were wrong.

v4: Addressed Andy's comments about kernel-doc
    Addressed Rob's comments on the spec file

v3: Forward ported Takahiro's patches and added some fixes ups to make
    it work on current kernels.

AKASHI Takahiro (3):
  pinctrl: introduce pinctrl_gpio_get_config()
  gpio: dt-bindings: Add bindings for pinctrl based generic gpio driver
  gpio: gpio-by-pinctrl: add pinctrl based generic GPIO driver

Dan Carpenter (4):
  pinctrl: scmi: Add SCMI_PIN_INPUT_VALUE
  pinctrl: scmi: Delete PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_IMPEDANCE_OHMS support
  pinctrl: scmi: ignore PIN_CONFIG_PERSIST_STATE

Seems you need also add a stub for this for !CONFIG_GENERIC_PINCONF.

[PATCH v5 2/7] pinctrl: scmi: Add SCMI_PIN_INPUT_VALUE

[Dan Carpenter]

The PIN_CONFIG_LEVEL parameter represents the value of the pin, whether
reading or writing to the pin.  In SCMI, the parameter is represented by
two different values SCMI_PIN_OUTPUT_VALUE for writing to a pin and
SCMI_PIN_INPUT_VALUE for reading.  The current code translates
PIN_CONFIG_LEVEL as SCMI_PIN_OUTPUT_VALUE (writing).

Add a function to translate it to either INPUT or OUTPUT depending on
whether it is called from a _get or _set() operation.

[PATCH v5 3/7] pinctrl: scmi: Delete PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_IMPEDANCE_OHMS support

[Dan Carpenter]

The argument for PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_IMPEDANCE_OHMS is supposed to
be expressed in terms of ohms.  But the pinctrl-scmi driver was
implementing it the same as PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT and writing either a
zero or one to the pin.

The SCMI protocol doesn't have an support configuration type so just
delete this code instead of replacing it.

[PATCH v5 6/7] gpio: dt-bindings: Add bindings for pinctrl based generic gpio driver

[Dan Carpenter]

From: AKASHI Takahiro <takahiro.akashi@linaro.org>

Traditionally, firmware will provide a GPIO interface or a pin control
interface.  However, the SCMI protocol provides a generic pin control
interface and the GPIO support is built on top of that using the normal
pin control interfaces.  Potentially other firmware will adopt a
similar generic approach in the future.

Document how to configure the GPIO device.

Subject still did not improve. Drop driver.

A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "bindings". The
"dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings.

Typo, org.

Rest looks good, so with subject fix and above:

[PATCH v5 7/7] gpio: gpio-by-pinctrl: add pinctrl based generic GPIO driver

[Dan Carpenter]

From: AKASHI Takahiro <takahiro.akashi@linaro.org>

The ARM SCMI pinctrl protocol allows GPIO access.  Instead of creating
a new SCMI GPIO driver, this driver is a generic GPIO driver that uses
standard pinctrl interfaces.

No driver uses this macro directly.
pinconf_to_config_packed() is.

Once ready, how should this go in? Immutable branch in pinctrl and
final two patches through GPIO tree?

Sounds like a plan, let's do that.
