Re: [PATCH v3] gpio: mcp23s08: convert driver to DT

Hi Lars,

sorry for taking eternities to review stuff :-(

I recommend that you include SPI co-maintainer Mark Brown on subsequent
postings.

This converts the mcp23s08 driver to be able to be used with device

OK!

Pullup is basically about pin config. This is sort of sneaking
behind the subsystems, but I know I might be overzealous.

Can the electronics do more things than pull-up?

Like pull-down, open drain, drive strength...

If it's a lot it's better to consider pinctrl from the start.
I'm saying this because the DT bindings will be maintained
perpetually and need to set a good example.

I would currently feel a lot better if you did not include this
flag. How would you control this the day drivers need to
enable/disable pull-up at runtime?
+- gpio-controller : Marks the device node as a GPIO controller.
+- reg : For an address on its bus
On the I2C/SPI bus?

Please state here what kind of buses it can be. Explain if multiple
buses are supported.
+Required device specific properties (only for SPI chips):
+- mcp,spi-present-mask : This is a present flag, that makes only sense for SPI
+        chips - as the name suggests.
AFAIK this is not how we disable/enable devices in the device tree.

Istead we include a property on the node called "status" and set it
to "disabled" if the device is not there.
+        Multiple chips can share the same
+        SPI chipselect. Set bit 0-7 in this mask to 1 if there is a chip
+        connected with this spi address. If you have a chip with address 3
+        connected, you have to set bit3 to 1, which is 0x08. mcp23s08 only
+        supports bits 0-3. It is not possible to mix mcp23s08 and mcp23s17
+        on the same chipselect. Set at least one bit to 1 for SPI chips.
This looks awkward, why are you using a bitfield for this? Then you
can only ever support 8 devices, since the text also implies that the
value is 8bit (this should be stated).

What about just using a number?

The pull-up business actually looks like new functionality that
has nothing to do with adding device tree support and should be
a separate patch.
