Document the Mediatek mt8516-syscfg.Which is what? What is syscfg block?Not sure this is really a SYSCFG block. This should be a GPIO controller range, which is split between IOCFG and EINT. Now, the legacy drivers are declaring the EINT iospace in the pinctrl node, and getting the GPIO controller (IOCFG) iospace from a regmap. I don't have any board with MT8516... but well, the really-right-thing to do would be to migrate that SoC off of the legacy driver, to the new-style one that *properly* takes two iospaces: "base" -> (0x10005000) "eint" -> (0x1000b000) Luca, if you've got such a board, could you please try to migrate this SoC out of the improper (but working good) driver and bindings? If not... well, I think this block is IOCFG, not SYSCFG...
Thanks for the suggestions. This is essentially my first Mediatek patch and while I'd say I have a good understanding of Qualcomm SoCs, Mediatek is very different, so I've got no clue about anything here really ;) I'll try to decipher your comment and see what I can do about it, hopefully soon. Thanks! Regards Luca

Why this is so generically called "syscfg", completely not looking like a real name from datasheet unlike the others in this device. You have entire commit msg to explain that. Best regards, Krzysztof
