At i2c address 0x2a is MCU command interface which provides access to GPIOs connected to Turris Omnia MCU. So define mcu node in Turris Omnia DTS file. Signed-off-by: Pali Rohár <pali@kernel.org> --- Same change was already sent to U-Boot project together with driver. As Turris Omnia DTS file is shared between Linux kernel U-Boot, I'm sending this change also in Linux. There is a plan to write also Linux driver for Turris Omnia MCU, like there is already in U-Boot. https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/commit/832738974806e6264a3d0ac2aaa92d0f662fd128 https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/master/drivers/gpio/turris_omnia_mcu.c --- arch/arm/boot/dts/armada-385-turris-omnia.dts | 8 +++++++- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/dts/armada-385-turris-omnia.dts b/arch/arm/boot/dts/armada-385-turris-omnia.dts index f4878df39753..f655e9229d68 100644 --- a/arch/arm/boot/dts/armada-385-turris-omnia.dts +++ b/arch/arm/boot/dts/armada-385-turris-omnia.dts@@ -184,7 +184,13 @@ #size-cells = <0>; reg = <0>; - /* STM32F0 command interface at address 0x2a */ + /* MCU command i2c API */ + mcu: mcu@2a { + compatible = "cznic,turris-omnia-mcu"; + reg = <0x2a>; + gpio-controller; + #gpio-cells = <3>; + };Please document the binding, preferably in yaml.
I'm not going to send any new yaml dt binding document as I see that dt bindings is clearly deprecated project. Either patches for dt bindings are waiting without any answer for months (maybe year?) or patches are ignored/not accepted by beyond reasons or there are request for changes which cannot work on the real hardware or that new yaml cannot be parsed/validated due to ton of bugs in other schemas. Sorry, this is just a waste of time and energy to write new those yamls as it does not bring any value.
I'm also not sure what the DT people will say about the node name mcu.
I don't see any examples of that in the binding documentation. They
might request you rename it to gpio-controller, unless it does more
than GPIO? And if it does do more than GPIO we are then into mfd
territory, and the binding then becomes much more interesting. Then we
start the questions, are you defining a ABI now, before there is even
a driver for it?
AndrewYes, there is already driver. See my previous email, I mentioned it and also I wrote link for this driver. Moreover now driver is merged in upstream u-boot. Driver has currently implemented only GPIO support, but other functions supported by MCU would be implemented later. _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
