I said 'syscon' by itself was not allowed, then asked about the multiple levels.
What should I do to document it? I still don’t get most of this .yaml stuff...quoted

The gpio controller contains a pin controller plus other undefined functions (because of 'syscon') and the pin controller contains a gpio controller?In previous versions the gpio controller was registered along with the pin controller, but @Linus requested me to register the gpio pin controller ranges through device tree by using gpio-ranges and I decided to use this approach, which was already used by other pin controllers. However, there aren’t any pinctrl drivers using gpio-regmap, so this is kind of new…quoted
I think "brcm,bcm6328-gpio-controller" and "brcm,bcm6328-pinctrl" should be a single node.I agree, but does it make sense to add gpio-ranges to a pinctrl node referencing itself?
It wouldn't be. I wasn't saying the pinctrl and gpio controller are the same node. My suggestion was combining syscon and pinctrl.
Something like:
syscon {Again with the syscon. If pinctrl and GPIO are the only functions within this h/w block, then this is not a syscon. You are just abusing that having 'syscon' compatible means you get a regmap created automagically for you. Nothing here looks like a 'system controller' to me. A 'system controller' is a random collection of register bits with functions that don't fit anywhere else.
pinctrl: pinctrl {
compatible …
gpio-controller;
gpio-ranges = <&pinctrl 0 0 32>;
#gpio-cells = <2>;
I was assuming you have multiple GPIO controllers within 1 pinctlr?
The pinctrl and gpio could be a single node like above if there's only
1 GPIO controller. But I'm still somewhat guessing what the h/w looks
like because I have to go searching thru the driver to decipher.
Please describe the h/w in the binding.
If there's more than 1 GPIO controller, then I'd imagine you have
something like this:
pinctrl {
...
reg = <base 0x80>;
ranges = <0 base 0x80;
gpio@4 {
reg = <4 4>, <c 4>;
reg-names = "dirout", "dat";
};
gpio@? {};
foo-pins {};
};
… }; };quoted
quoted
+ data = <0xc>; + dirout = <0x4>;This looks similar to the brcm,bcm6345-gpio.txt binding which then uses the gpio-mmio driver. Defining addresses with 'reg' is much preferred over custom properties. That binding also captures the bank size.It’s similar, but Linus requested to use gpio regmap because we had a large amount of registers, so we’re not using it.
Looks like you have 2 registers to me. Rob
