[PATCH v4 1/5] dt-bindings: gpio: Add a gpio-reserved-ranges property

From: Stephen Boyd <hidden>
Date: 2018-03-23 16:35:01
Also in: linux-arm-msm, linux-devicetree, linux-gpio, lkml
Subsystem: gpio subsystem, open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, the rest · Maintainers: Linus Walleij, Bartosz Golaszewski, Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Linus Torvalds

From: Stephen Boyd <redacted>

Some qcom platforms make some GPIOs or pins unavailable for use
by non-secure operating systems, and thus reading or writing the
registers for those pins will cause access control issues.
Introduce a DT property to describe the set of GPIOs that are
available for use so that higher level OSes are able to know what
pins to avoid reading/writing.
