  PINCTRL (PIN CONTROL) subsystem
  This document outlines the pin control subsystem in Linux
  
  This subsystem deals with:
  
  - Enumerating and naming controllable pins
  
  - Multiplexing of pins, pads, fingers (etc) see below for details
  
  - Configuration of pins, pads, fingers (etc), such as software-controlled
    biasing and driving mode specific pins, such as pull-up/down, open drain,
    load capacitance etc.
  
  Top-level interface
  ===================
  
  Definition of PIN CONTROLLER:
  
  - A pin controller is a piece of hardware, usually a set of registers, that
    can control PINs. It may be able to multiplex, bias, set load capacitance,
    set drive strength, etc. for individual pins or groups of pins.
  
  Definition of PIN:
  
  - PINS are equal to pads, fingers, balls or whatever packaging input or
    output line you want to control and these are denoted by unsigned integers
    in the range 0..maxpin. This numberspace is local to each PIN CONTROLLER, so
    there may be several such number spaces in a system. This pin space may
    be sparse - i.e. there may be gaps in the space with numbers where no
    pin exists.
  
  When a PIN CONTROLLER is instantiated, it will register a descriptor to the
  pin control framework, and this descriptor contains an array of pin descriptors
  describing the pins handled by this specific pin controller.
  
  Here is an example of a PGA (Pin Grid Array) chip seen from underneath:
  
          A   B   C   D   E   F   G   H
  
     8    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
  
     7    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
  
     6    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
  
     5    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
  
     4    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
  
     3    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
  
     2    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
  
     1    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
  
  To register a pin controller and name all the pins on this package we can do
  this in our driver:
  
  #include <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h>
  
  const struct pinctrl_pin_desc foo_pins[] = {
        PINCTRL_PIN(0, "A8"),
        PINCTRL_PIN(1, "B8"),
        PINCTRL_PIN(2, "C8"),
        ...
        PINCTRL_PIN(61, "F1"),
        PINCTRL_PIN(62, "G1"),
        PINCTRL_PIN(63, "H1"),
  };
  
  static struct pinctrl_desc foo_desc = {
  	.name = "foo",
  	.pins = foo_pins,
  	.npins = ARRAY_SIZE(foo_pins),
  	.maxpin = 63,
  	.owner = THIS_MODULE,
  };
  
  int __init foo_probe(void)
  {
  	struct pinctrl_dev *pctl;
  
  	pctl = pinctrl_register(&foo_desc, <PARENT>, NULL);
  	if (!pctl)
  		pr_err("could not register foo pin driver
  ");
  }
  
  To enable the pinctrl subsystem and the subgroups for PINMUX and PINCONF and
  selected drivers, you need to select them from your machine's Kconfig entry,
  since these are so tightly integrated with the machines they are used on.
  See for example arch/arm/mach-u300/Kconfig for an example.
  
  Pins usually have fancier names than this. You can find these in the datasheet
  for your chip. Notice that the core pinctrl.h file provides a fancy macro
  called PINCTRL_PIN() to create the struct entries. As you can see I enumerated
  the pins from 0 in the upper left corner to 63 in the lower right corner.
  This enumeration was arbitrarily chosen, in practice you need to think
  through your numbering system so that it matches the layout of registers
  and such things in your driver, or the code may become complicated. You must
  also consider matching of offsets to the GPIO ranges that may be handled by
  the pin controller.
  
  For a padring with 467 pads, as opposed to actual pins, I used an enumeration
  like this, walking around the edge of the chip, which seems to be industry
  standard too (all these pads had names, too):
  
  
       0 ..... 104
     466        105
       .        .
       .        .
     358        224
      357 .... 225
  
  
  Pin groups
  ==========
  
  Many controllers need to deal with groups of pins, so the pin controller
  subsystem has a mechanism for enumerating groups of pins and retrieving the
  actual enumerated pins that are part of a certain group.
  
  For example, say that we have a group of pins dealing with an SPI interface
  on { 0, 8, 16, 24 }, and a group of pins dealing with an I2C interface on pins
  on { 24, 25 }.
  
  These two groups are presented to the pin control subsystem by implementing
  some generic pinctrl_ops like this:
  
  #include <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h>
  
  struct foo_group {
  	const char *name;
  	const unsigned int *pins;
  	const unsigned num_pins;
  };
  
  static const unsigned int spi0_pins[] = { 0, 8, 16, 24 };
  static const unsigned int i2c0_pins[] = { 24, 25 };
  
  static const struct foo_group foo_groups[] = {
  	{
  		.name = "spi0_grp",
  		.pins = spi0_pins,
  		.num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(spi0_pins),
  	},
  	{
  		.name = "i2c0_grp",
  		.pins = i2c0_pins,
  		.num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(i2c0_pins),
  	},
  };
  
  
  static int foo_get_groups_count(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev)
  {
  	return ARRAY_SIZE(foo_groups);
  }
  
  static const char *foo_get_group_name(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev,
  				       unsigned selector)
  {
  	return foo_groups[selector].name;
  }
  
  static int foo_get_group_pins(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev, unsigned selector,
  			       unsigned ** const pins,
  			       unsigned * const num_pins)
  {
  	*pins = (unsigned *) foo_groups[selector].pins;
  	*num_pins = foo_groups[selector].num_pins;
  	return 0;
  }
  
  static struct pinctrl_ops foo_pctrl_ops = {
  	.get_groups_count = foo_get_groups_count,
  	.get_group_name = foo_get_group_name,
  	.get_group_pins = foo_get_group_pins,
  };
  
  
  static struct pinctrl_desc foo_desc = {
         ...
         .pctlops = &foo_pctrl_ops,
  };
  
  The pin control subsystem will call the .get_groups_count() function to
  determine the total number of legal selectors, then it will call the other functions
  to retrieve the name and pins of the group. Maintaining the data structure of
  the groups is up to the driver, this is just a simple example - in practice you
  may need more entries in your group structure, for example specific register
  ranges associated with each group and so on.
  
  
  Pin configuration
  =================
  
  Pins can sometimes be software-configured in various ways, mostly related
  to their electronic properties when used as inputs or outputs. For example you
  may be able to make an output pin high impedance, or "tristate" meaning it is
  effectively disconnected. You may be able to connect an input pin to VDD or GND
  using a certain resistor value - pull up and pull down - so that the pin has a
  stable value when nothing is driving the rail it is connected to, or when it's
  unconnected.
  
  Pin configuration can be programmed by adding configuration entries into the
  mapping table; see section "Board/machine configuration" below.
  
  The format and meaning of the configuration parameter, PLATFORM_X_PULL_UP
  above, is entirely defined by the pin controller driver.
  
  The pin configuration driver implements callbacks for changing pin
  configuration in the pin controller ops like this:
  
  #include <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h>
  #include <linux/pinctrl/pinconf.h>
  #include "platform_x_pindefs.h"
  
  static int foo_pin_config_get(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev,
  		    unsigned offset,
  		    unsigned long *config)
  {
  	struct my_conftype conf;
  
  	... Find setting for pin @ offset ...
  
  	*config = (unsigned long) conf;
  }
  
  static int foo_pin_config_set(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev,
  		    unsigned offset,
  		    unsigned long config)
  {
  	struct my_conftype *conf = (struct my_conftype *) config;
  
  	switch (conf) {
  		case PLATFORM_X_PULL_UP:
  		...
  		}
  	}
  }
  
  static int foo_pin_config_group_get (struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev,
  		    unsigned selector,
  		    unsigned long *config)
  {
  	...
  }
  
  static int foo_pin_config_group_set (struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev,
  		    unsigned selector,
  		    unsigned long config)
  {
  	...
  }
  
  static struct pinconf_ops foo_pconf_ops = {
  	.pin_config_get = foo_pin_config_get,
  	.pin_config_set = foo_pin_config_set,
  	.pin_config_group_get = foo_pin_config_group_get,
  	.pin_config_group_set = foo_pin_config_group_set,
  };
  
  /* Pin config operations are handled by some pin controller */
  static struct pinctrl_desc foo_desc = {
  	...
  	.confops = &foo_pconf_ops,
  };
  
  Since some controllers have special logic for handling entire groups of pins
  they can exploit the special whole-group pin control function. The
  pin_config_group_set() callback is allowed to return the error code -EAGAIN,
  for groups it does not want to handle, or if it just wants to do some
  group-level handling and then fall through to iterate over all pins, in which
  case each individual pin will be treated by separate pin_config_set() calls as
  well.
  
  
  Interaction with the GPIO subsystem
  ===================================
  
  The GPIO drivers may want to perform operations of various types on the same
  physical pins that are also registered as pin controller pins.
  
  First and foremost, the two subsystems can be used as completely orthogonal,
  see the section named "pin control requests from drivers" and
  "drivers needing both pin control and GPIOs" below for details. But in some
  situations a cross-subsystem mapping between pins and GPIOs is needed.
  
  Since the pin controller subsystem have its pinspace local to the pin
  controller we need a mapping so that the pin control subsystem can figure out
  which pin controller handles control of a certain GPIO pin. Since a single
  pin controller may be muxing several GPIO ranges (typically SoCs that have
  one set of pins, but internally several GPIO silicon blocks, each modelled as
  a struct gpio_chip) any number of GPIO ranges can be added to a pin controller
  instance like this:
  
  struct gpio_chip chip_a;
  struct gpio_chip chip_b;
  
  static struct pinctrl_gpio_range gpio_range_a = {
  	.name = "chip a",
  	.id = 0,
  	.base = 32,
  	.pin_base = 32,
  	.npins = 16,
  	.gc = &chip_a;
  };
  
  static struct pinctrl_gpio_range gpio_range_b = {
  	.name = "chip b",
  	.id = 0,
  	.base = 48,
  	.pin_base = 64,
  	.npins = 8,
  	.gc = &chip_b;
  };
  
  {
  	struct pinctrl_dev *pctl;
  	...
  	pinctrl_add_gpio_range(pctl, &gpio_range_a);
  	pinctrl_add_gpio_range(pctl, &gpio_range_b);
  }
  
  So this complex system has one pin controller handling two different
  GPIO chips. "chip a" has 16 pins and "chip b" has 8 pins. The "chip a" and
  "chip b" have different .pin_base, which means a start pin number of the
  GPIO range.
  
  The GPIO range of "chip a" starts from the GPIO base of 32 and actual
  pin range also starts from 32. However "chip b" has different starting
  offset for the GPIO range and pin range. The GPIO range of "chip b" starts
  from GPIO number 48, while the pin range of "chip b" starts from 64.
  
  We can convert a gpio number to actual pin number using this "pin_base".
  They are mapped in the global GPIO pin space at:
  
  chip a:
   - GPIO range : [32 .. 47]
   - pin range  : [32 .. 47]
  chip b:
   - GPIO range : [48 .. 55]
   - pin range  : [64 .. 71]
  
  The above examples assume the mapping between the GPIOs and pins is
  linear. If the mapping is sparse or haphazard, an array of arbitrary pin
  numbers can be encoded in the range like this:
  
  static const unsigned range_pins[] = { 14, 1, 22, 17, 10, 8, 6, 2 };
  
  static struct pinctrl_gpio_range gpio_range = {
  	.name = "chip",
  	.id = 0,
  	.base = 32,
  	.pins = &range_pins,
  	.npins = ARRAY_SIZE(range_pins),
  	.gc = &chip;
  };
  
  In this case the pin_base property will be ignored. If the name of a pin
  group is known, the pins and npins elements of the above structure can be
  initialised using the function pinctrl_get_group_pins(), e.g. for pin
  group "foo":
  
  pinctrl_get_group_pins(pctl, "foo", &gpio_range.pins, &gpio_range.npins);
  
  When GPIO-specific functions in the pin control subsystem are called, these
  ranges will be used to look up the appropriate pin controller by inspecting
  and matching the pin to the pin ranges across all controllers. When a
  pin controller handling the matching range is found, GPIO-specific functions
  will be called on that specific pin controller.
  
  For all functionalities dealing with pin biasing, pin muxing etc, the pin
  controller subsystem will look up the corresponding pin number from the passed
  in gpio number, and use the range's internals to retrieve a pin number. After
  that, the subsystem passes it on to the pin control driver, so the driver
  will get a pin number into its handled number range. Further it is also passed
  the range ID value, so that the pin controller knows which range it should
  deal with.
  
  Calling pinctrl_add_gpio_range from pinctrl driver is DEPRECATED. Please see
  section 2.1 of Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio.txt on how to bind
  pinctrl and gpio drivers.
  
  
  PINMUX interfaces
  =================
  
  These calls use the pinmux_* naming prefix.  No other calls should use that
  prefix.
  
  
  What is pinmuxing?
  ==================
  
  PINMUX, also known as padmux, ballmux, alternate functions or mission modes
  is a way for chip vendors producing some kind of electrical packages to use
  a certain physical pin (ball, pad, finger, etc) for multiple mutually exclusive
  functions, depending on the application. By "application" in this context
  we usually mean a way of soldering or wiring the package into an electronic
  system, even though the framework makes it possible to also change the function
  at runtime.
  
  Here is an example of a PGA (Pin Grid Array) chip seen from underneath:
  
          A   B   C   D   E   F   G   H
        +---+
     8  | o | o   o   o   o   o   o   o
        |   |
     7  | o | o   o   o   o   o   o   o
        |   |
     6  | o | o   o   o   o   o   o   o
        +---+---+
     5  | o | o | o   o   o   o   o   o
        +---+---+               +---+
     4    o   o   o   o   o   o | o | o
                                |   |
     3    o   o   o   o   o   o | o | o
                                |   |
     2    o   o   o   o   o   o | o | o
        +-------+-------+-------+---+---+
     1  | o   o | o   o | o   o | o | o |
        +-------+-------+-------+---+---+
  
  This is not tetris. The game to think of is chess. Not all PGA/BGA packages
  are chessboard-like, big ones have "holes" in some arrangement according to
  different design patterns, but we're using this as a simple example. Of the
  pins you see some will be taken by things like a few VCC and GND to feed power
  to the chip, and quite a few will be taken by large ports like an external
  memory interface. The remaining pins will often be subject to pin multiplexing.
  
  The example 8x8 PGA package above will have pin numbers 0 through 63 assigned
  to its physical pins. It will name the pins { A1, A2, A3 ... H6, H7, H8 } using
  pinctrl_register_pins() and a suitable data set as shown earlier.
  
  In this 8x8 BGA package the pins { A8, A7, A6, A5 } can be used as an SPI port
  (these are four pins: CLK, RXD, TXD, FRM). In that case, pin B5 can be used as
  some general-purpose GPIO pin. However, in another setting, pins { A5, B5 } can
  be used as an I2C port (these are just two pins: SCL, SDA). Needless to say,
  we cannot use the SPI port and I2C port at the same time. However in the inside
  of the package the silicon performing the SPI logic can alternatively be routed
  out on pins { G4, G3, G2, G1 }.
  
  On the bottom row at { A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, H1 } we have something
  special - it's an external MMC bus that can be 2, 4 or 8 bits wide, and it will
  consume 2, 4 or 8 pins respectively, so either { A1, B1 } are taken or
  { A1, B1, C1, D1 } or all of them. If we use all 8 bits, we cannot use the SPI
  port on pins { G4, G3, G2, G1 } of course.
  
  This way the silicon blocks present inside the chip can be multiplexed "muxed"
  out on different pin ranges. Often contemporary SoC (systems on chip) will
  contain several I2C, SPI, SDIO/MMC, etc silicon blocks that can be routed to
  different pins by pinmux settings.
  
  Since general-purpose I/O pins (GPIO) are typically always in shortage, it is
  common to be able to use almost any pin as a GPIO pin if it is not currently
  in use by some other I/O port.
  
  
  Pinmux conventions
  ==================
  
  The purpose of the pinmux functionality in the pin controller subsystem is to
  abstract and provide pinmux settings to the devices you choose to instantiate
  in your machine configuration. It is inspired by the clk, GPIO and regulator
  subsystems, so devices will request their mux setting, but it's also possible
  to request a single pin for e.g. GPIO.
  
  Definitions:
  
  - FUNCTIONS can be switched in and out by a driver residing with the pin
    control subsystem in the drivers/pinctrl/* directory of the kernel. The
    pin control driver knows the possible functions. In the example above you can
    identify three pinmux functions, one for spi, one for i2c and one for mmc.
  
  - FUNCTIONS are assumed to be enumerable from zero in a one-dimensional array.
    In this case the array could be something like: { spi0, i2c0, mmc0 }
    for the three available functions.
  
  - FUNCTIONS have PIN GROUPS as defined on the generic level - so a certain
    function is *always* associated with a certain set of pin groups, could
    be just a single one, but could also be many. In the example above the
    function i2c is associated with the pins { A5, B5 }, enumerated as
    { 24, 25 } in the controller pin space.
  
    The Function spi is associated with pin groups { A8, A7, A6, A5 }
    and { G4, G3, G2, G1 }, which are enumerated as { 0, 8, 16, 24 } and
    { 38, 46, 54, 62 } respectively.
  
    Group names must be unique per pin controller, no two groups on the same
    controller may have the same name.
  
  - The combination of a FUNCTION and a PIN GROUP determine a certain function
    for a certain set of pins. The knowledge of the functions and pin groups
    and their machine-specific particulars are kept inside the pinmux driver,
    from the outside only the enumerators are known, and the driver core can:
  
    - Request the name of a function with a certain selector (>= 0)
    - A list of groups associated with a certain function
    - Request that a certain group in that list to be activated for a certain
      function
  
    As already described above, pin groups are in turn self-descriptive, so
    the core will retrieve the actual pin range in a certain group from the
    driver.
  
  - FUNCTIONS and GROUPS on a certain PIN CONTROLLER are MAPPED to a certain
    device by the board file, device tree or similar machine setup configuration
    mechanism, similar to how regulators are connected to devices, usually by
    name. Defining a pin controller, function and group thus uniquely identify
    the set of pins to be used by a certain device. (If only one possible group
    of pins is available for the function, no group name need to be supplied -
    the core will simply select the first and only group available.)
  
    In the example case we can define that this particular machine shall
    use device spi0 with pinmux function fspi0 group gspi0 and i2c0 on function
    fi2c0 group gi2c0, on the primary pin controller, we get mappings
    like these:
  
    {
      {"map-spi0", spi0, pinctrl0, fspi0, gspi0},
      {"map-i2c0", i2c0, pinctrl0, fi2c0, gi2c0}
    }
  
    Every map must be assigned a state name, pin controller, device and
    function. The group is not compulsory - if it is omitted the first group
    presented by the driver as applicable for the function will be selected,
    which is useful for simple cases.
  
    It is possible to map several groups to the same combination of device,
    pin controller and function. This is for cases where a certain function on
    a certain pin controller may use different sets of pins in different
    configurations.
  
  - PINS for a certain FUNCTION using a certain PIN GROUP on a certain
    PIN CONTROLLER are provided on a first-come first-serve basis, so if some
    other device mux setting or GPIO pin request has already taken your physical
    pin, you will be denied the use of it. To get (activate) a new setting, the
    old one has to be put (deactivated) first.
  
  Sometimes the documentation and hardware registers will be oriented around
  pads (or "fingers") rather than pins - these are the soldering surfaces on the
  silicon inside the package, and may or may not match the actual number of
  pins/balls underneath the capsule. Pick some enumeration that makes sense to
  you. Define enumerators only for the pins you can control if that makes sense.
  
  Assumptions:
  
  We assume that the number of possible function maps to pin groups is limited by
  the hardware. I.e. we assume that there is no system where any function can be
  mapped to any pin, like in a phone exchange. So the available pin groups for
  a certain function will be limited to a few choices (say up to eight or so),
  not hundreds or any amount of choices. This is the characteristic we have found
  by inspecting available pinmux hardware, and a necessary assumption since we
  expect pinmux drivers to present *all* possible function vs pin group mappings
  to the subsystem.
  
  
  Pinmux drivers
  ==============
  
  The pinmux core takes care of preventing conflicts on pins and calling
  the pin controller driver to execute different settings.
  
  It is the responsibility of the pinmux driver to impose further restrictions
  (say for example infer electronic limitations due to load, etc.) to determine
  whether or not the requested function can actually be allowed, and in case it
  is possible to perform the requested mux setting, poke the hardware so that
  this happens.
  
  Pinmux drivers are required to supply a few callback functions, some are
  optional. Usually the enable() and disable() functions are implemented,
  writing values into some certain registers to activate a certain mux setting
  for a certain pin.
  
  A simple driver for the above example will work by setting bits 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4
  into some register named MUX to select a certain function with a certain
  group of pins would work something like this:
  
  #include <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h>

  };
  
  In the example activating muxing 0 and 1 at the same time setting bits
  0 and 1, uses one pin in common so they would collide.
  
  The beauty of the pinmux subsystem is that since it keeps track of all
  pins and who is using them, it will already have denied an impossible
  request like that, so the driver does not need to worry about such
  things - when it gets a selector passed in, the pinmux subsystem makes
  sure no other device or GPIO assignment is already using the selected
  pins. Thus bits 0 and 1 in the control register will never be set at the
  same time.
  
  All the above functions are mandatory to implement for a pinmux driver.
  
  
  Pin control interaction with the GPIO subsystem
  ===============================================
  
  Note that the following implies that the use case is to use a certain pin
  from the Linux kernel using the API in <linux/gpio.h> with gpio_request()
  and similar functions. There are cases where you may be using something
  that your datasheet calls "GPIO mode", but actually is just an electrical
  configuration for a certain device. See the section below named
  "GPIO mode pitfalls" for more details on this scenario.
  
  The public pinmux API contains two functions named pinctrl_request_gpio()
  and pinctrl_free_gpio(). These two functions shall *ONLY* be called from
  gpiolib-based drivers as part of their gpio_request() and
  gpio_free() semantics. Likewise the pinctrl_gpio_direction_[input|output]
  shall only be called from within respective gpio_direction_[input|output]
  gpiolib implementation.
  
  NOTE that platforms and individual drivers shall *NOT* request GPIO pins to be
  controlled e.g. muxed in. Instead, implement a proper gpiolib driver and have
  that driver request proper muxing and other control for its pins.
  
  The function list could become long, especially if you can convert every
  individual pin into a GPIO pin independent of any other pins, and then try
  the approach to define every pin as a function.
  
  In this case, the function array would become 64 entries for each GPIO
  setting and then the device functions.
  
  For this reason there are two functions a pin control driver can implement
  to enable only GPIO on an individual pin: .gpio_request_enable() and
  .gpio_disable_free().
  
  This function will pass in the affected GPIO range identified by the pin
  controller core, so you know which GPIO pins are being affected by the request
  operation.
  
  If your driver needs to have an indication from the framework of whether the
  GPIO pin shall be used for input or output you can implement the
  .gpio_set_direction() function. As described this shall be called from the
  gpiolib driver and the affected GPIO range, pin offset and desired direction
  will be passed along to this function.
  
  Alternatively to using these special functions, it is fully allowed to use
  named functions for each GPIO pin, the pinctrl_request_gpio() will attempt to
  obtain the function "gpioN" where "N" is the global GPIO pin number if no
  special GPIO-handler is registered.
  
  
  GPIO mode pitfalls
  ==================
  
  Due to the naming conventions used by hardware engineers, where "GPIO"
  is taken to mean different things than what the kernel does, the developer
  may be confused by a datasheet talking about a pin being possible to set
  into "GPIO mode". It appears that what hardware engineers mean with
  "GPIO mode" is not necessarily the use case that is implied in the kernel
  interface <linux/gpio.h>: a pin that you grab from kernel code and then
  either listen for input or drive high/low to assert/deassert some
  external line.
  
  Rather hardware engineers think that "GPIO mode" means that you can
  software-control a few electrical properties of the pin that you would
  not be able to control if the pin was in some other mode, such as muxed in
  for a device.
  
  The GPIO portions of a pin and its relation to a certain pin controller
  configuration and muxing logic can be constructed in several ways. Here
  are two examples:
  
  (A)
                         pin config
                         logic regs
                         |               +- SPI
       Physical pins --- pad --- pinmux -+- I2C
                                 |       +- mmc
                                 |       +- GPIO
                                 pin
                                 multiplex
                                 logic regs
  
  Here some electrical properties of the pin can be configured no matter
  whether the pin is used for GPIO or not. If you multiplex a GPIO onto a
  pin, you can also drive it high/low from "GPIO" registers.
  Alternatively, the pin can be controlled by a certain peripheral, while
  still applying desired pin config properties. GPIO functionality is thus
  orthogonal to any other device using the pin.
  
  In this arrangement the registers for the GPIO portions of the pin controller,
  or the registers for the GPIO hardware module are likely to reside in a
  separate memory range only intended for GPIO driving, and the register
  range dealing with pin config and pin multiplexing get placed into a
  different memory range and a separate section of the data sheet.
  
  (B)
  
                         pin config
                         logic regs
                         |               +- SPI
       Physical pins --- pad --- pinmux -+- I2C
                         |       |       +- mmc
                         |       |
                         GPIO    pin
                                 multiplex
                                 logic regs
  
  In this arrangement, the GPIO functionality can always be enabled, such that
  e.g. a GPIO input can be used to "spy" on the SPI/I2C/MMC signal while it is
  pulsed out. It is likely possible to disrupt the traffic on the pin by doing
  wrong things on the GPIO block, as it is never really disconnected. It is
  possible that the GPIO, pin config and pin multiplex registers are placed into
  the same memory range and the same section of the data sheet, although that
  need not be the case.
  
  From a kernel point of view, however, these are different aspects of the
  hardware and shall be put into different subsystems:
  
  - Registers (or fields within registers) that control electrical
    properties of the pin such as biasing and drive strength should be
    exposed through the pinctrl subsystem, as "pin configuration" settings.
  
  - Registers (or fields within registers) that control muxing of signals
    from various other HW blocks (e.g. I2C, MMC, or GPIO) onto pins should
    be exposed through the pinctrl subsystem, as mux functions.
  
  - Registers (or fields within registers) that control GPIO functionality
    such as setting a GPIO's output value, reading a GPIO's input value, or
    setting GPIO pin direction should be exposed through the GPIO subsystem,
    and if they also support interrupt capabilities, through the irqchip
    abstraction.
  
  Depending on the exact HW register design, some functions exposed by the
  GPIO subsystem may call into the pinctrl subsystem in order to
  co-ordinate register settings across HW modules. In particular, this may
  be needed for HW with separate GPIO and pin controller HW modules, where
  e.g. GPIO direction is determined by a register in the pin controller HW
  module rather than the GPIO HW module.
  
  Electrical properties of the pin such as biasing and drive strength
  may be placed at some pin-specific register in all cases or as part
  of the GPIO register in case (B) especially. This doesn't mean that such
  properties necessarily pertain to what the Linux kernel calls "GPIO".
  
  Example: a pin is usually muxed in to be used as a UART TX line. But during
  system sleep, we need to put this pin into "GPIO mode" and ground it.
  
  If you make a 1-to-1 map to the GPIO subsystem for this pin, you may start
  to think that you need to come up with something really complex, that the
  pin shall be used for UART TX and GPIO at the same time, that you will grab
  a pin control handle and set it to a certain state to enable UART TX to be
  muxed in, then twist it over to GPIO mode and use gpio_direction_output()
  to drive it low during sleep, then mux it over to UART TX again when you
  wake up and maybe even gpio_request/gpio_free as part of this cycle. This
  all gets very complicated.
  
  The solution is to not think that what the datasheet calls "GPIO mode"
  has to be handled by the <linux/gpio.h> interface. Instead view this as
  a certain pin config setting. Look in e.g. <linux/pinctrl/pinconf-generic.h>
  and you find this in the documentation:
  
    PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT: this will configure the pin in output, use argument
       1 to indicate high level, argument 0 to indicate low level.
  
  So it is perfectly possible to push a pin into "GPIO mode" and drive the
  line low as part of the usual pin control map. So for example your UART
  driver may look like this:
  
  #include <linux/pinctrl/consumer.h>
  
  struct pinctrl          *pinctrl;
  struct pinctrl_state    *pins_default;
  struct pinctrl_state    *pins_sleep;
  
  pins_default = pinctrl_lookup_state(uap->pinctrl, PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT);
  pins_sleep = pinctrl_lookup_state(uap->pinctrl, PINCTRL_STATE_SLEEP);
  
  /* Normal mode */
  retval = pinctrl_select_state(pinctrl, pins_default);
  /* Sleep mode */
  retval = pinctrl_select_state(pinctrl, pins_sleep);
  
  And your machine configuration may look like this:
  --------------------------------------------------
  
  static unsigned long uart_default_mode[] = {
      PIN_CONF_PACKED(PIN_CONFIG_DRIVE_PUSH_PULL, 0),
  };
  
  static unsigned long uart_sleep_mode[] = {
      PIN_CONF_PACKED(PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT, 0),
  };
  
  static struct pinctrl_map pinmap[] __initdata = {
      PIN_MAP_MUX_GROUP("uart", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, "pinctrl-foo",
                        "u0_group", "u0"),
      PIN_MAP_CONFIGS_PIN("uart", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, "pinctrl-foo",
                          "UART_TX_PIN", uart_default_mode),
      PIN_MAP_MUX_GROUP("uart", PINCTRL_STATE_SLEEP, "pinctrl-foo",
                        "u0_group", "gpio-mode"),
      PIN_MAP_CONFIGS_PIN("uart", PINCTRL_STATE_SLEEP, "pinctrl-foo",
                          "UART_TX_PIN", uart_sleep_mode),
  };
  
  foo_init(void) {
      pinctrl_register_mappings(pinmap, ARRAY_SIZE(pinmap));
  }
  
  Here the pins we want to control are in the "u0_group" and there is some
  function called "u0" that can be enabled on this group of pins, and then
  everything is UART business as usual. But there is also some function
  named "gpio-mode" that can be mapped onto the same pins to move them into
  GPIO mode.
  
  This will give the desired effect without any bogus interaction with the
  GPIO subsystem. It is just an electrical configuration used by that device
  when going to sleep, it might imply that the pin is set into something the
  datasheet calls "GPIO mode", but that is not the point: it is still used
  by that UART device to control the pins that pertain to that very UART
  driver, putting them into modes needed by the UART. GPIO in the Linux
  kernel sense are just some 1-bit line, and is a different use case.
  
  How the registers are poked to attain the push or pull, and output low
  configuration and the muxing of the "u0" or "gpio-mode" group onto these
  pins is a question for the driver.
  
  Some datasheets will be more helpful and refer to the "GPIO mode" as
  "low power mode" rather than anything to do with GPIO. This often means
  the same thing electrically speaking, but in this latter case the
  software engineers will usually quickly identify that this is some
  specific muxing or configuration rather than anything related to the GPIO
  API.
  
  
  Board/machine configuration
  ==================================
  
  Boards and machines define how a certain complete running system is put
  together, including how GPIOs and devices are muxed, how regulators are
  constrained and how the clock tree looks. Of course pinmux settings are also
  part of this.
  
  A pin controller configuration for a machine looks pretty much like a simple
  regulator configuration, so for the example array above we want to enable i2c
  and spi on the second function mapping:
  
  #include <linux/pinctrl/machine.h>
  
  static const struct pinctrl_map mapping[] __initconst = {
  	{
  		.dev_name = "foo-spi.0",
  		.name = PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT,
  		.type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP,
  		.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
  		.data.mux.function = "spi0",
  	},
  	{
  		.dev_name = "foo-i2c.0",
  		.name = PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT,
  		.type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP,
  		.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
  		.data.mux.function = "i2c0",
  	},
  	{
  		.dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
  		.name = PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT,
  		.type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP,
  		.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
  		.data.mux.function = "mmc0",
  	},
  };
  
  The dev_name here matches to the unique device name that can be used to look
  up the device struct (just like with clockdev or regulators). The function name
  must match a function provided by the pinmux driver handling this pin range.
  
  As you can see we may have several pin controllers on the system and thus
  we need to specify which one of them contains the functions we wish to map.
  
  You register this pinmux mapping to the pinmux subsystem by simply:
  
         ret = pinctrl_register_mappings(mapping, ARRAY_SIZE(mapping));
  
  Since the above construct is pretty common there is a helper macro to make
  it even more compact which assumes you want to use pinctrl-foo and position
  0 for mapping, for example:
  
  static struct pinctrl_map mapping[] __initdata = {
  	PIN_MAP_MUX_GROUP("foo-i2c.o", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, "pinctrl-foo", NULL, "i2c0"),
  };
  
  The mapping table may also contain pin configuration entries. It's common for
  each pin/group to have a number of configuration entries that affect it, so
  the table entries for configuration reference an array of config parameters
  and values. An example using the convenience macros is shown below:
  
  static unsigned long i2c_grp_configs[] = {
  	FOO_PIN_DRIVEN,
  	FOO_PIN_PULLUP,
  };
  
  static unsigned long i2c_pin_configs[] = {
  	FOO_OPEN_COLLECTOR,
  	FOO_SLEW_RATE_SLOW,
  };
  
  static struct pinctrl_map mapping[] __initdata = {
  	PIN_MAP_MUX_GROUP("foo-i2c.0", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, "pinctrl-foo", "i2c0", "i2c0"),
  	PIN_MAP_CONFIGS_GROUP("foo-i2c.0", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, "pinctrl-foo", "i2c0", i2c_grp_configs),
  	PIN_MAP_CONFIGS_PIN("foo-i2c.0", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, "pinctrl-foo", "i2c0scl", i2c_pin_configs),
  	PIN_MAP_CONFIGS_PIN("foo-i2c.0", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, "pinctrl-foo", "i2c0sda", i2c_pin_configs),
  };
  
  Finally, some devices expect the mapping table to contain certain specific
  named states. When running on hardware that doesn't need any pin controller
  configuration, the mapping table must still contain those named states, in
  order to explicitly indicate that the states were provided and intended to
  be empty. Table entry macro PIN_MAP_DUMMY_STATE serves the purpose of defining
  a named state without causing any pin controller to be programmed:
  
  static struct pinctrl_map mapping[] __initdata = {
  	PIN_MAP_DUMMY_STATE("foo-i2c.0", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT),
  };
  
  
  Complex mappings
  ================
  
  As it is possible to map a function to different groups of pins an optional
  .group can be specified like this:
  
  ...
  {
  	.dev_name = "foo-spi.0",
  	.name = "spi0-pos-A",
  	.type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP,
  	.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
  	.function = "spi0",
  	.group = "spi0_0_grp",
  },
  {
  	.dev_name = "foo-spi.0",
  	.name = "spi0-pos-B",
  	.type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP,
  	.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
  	.function = "spi0",
  	.group = "spi0_1_grp",
  },
  ...
  
  This example mapping is used to switch between two positions for spi0 at
  runtime, as described further below under the heading "Runtime pinmuxing".
  
  Further it is possible for one named state to affect the muxing of several
  groups of pins, say for example in the mmc0 example above, where you can
  additively expand the mmc0 bus from 2 to 4 to 8 pins. If we want to use all
  three groups for a total of 2+2+4 = 8 pins (for an 8-bit MMC bus as is the
  case), we define a mapping like this:
  
  ...
  {
  	.dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
  	.name = "2bit"
  	.type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP,
  	.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
  	.function = "mmc0",
  	.group = "mmc0_1_grp",
  },
  {
  	.dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
  	.name = "4bit"
  	.type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP,
  	.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
  	.function = "mmc0",
  	.group = "mmc0_1_grp",
  },
  {
  	.dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
  	.name = "4bit"
  	.type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP,
  	.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
  	.function = "mmc0",
  	.group = "mmc0_2_grp",
  },
  {
  	.dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
  	.name = "8bit"
  	.type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP,
  	.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
  	.function = "mmc0",
  	.group = "mmc0_1_grp",
  },
  {
  	.dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
  	.name = "8bit"
  	.type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP,
  	.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
  	.function = "mmc0",
  	.group = "mmc0_2_grp",
  },
  {
  	.dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
  	.name = "8bit"
  	.type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP,
  	.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
  	.function = "mmc0",
  	.group = "mmc0_3_grp",
  },
  ...
  
  The result of grabbing this mapping from the device with something like
  this (see next paragraph):
  
  	p = devm_pinctrl_get(dev);
  	s = pinctrl_lookup_state(p, "8bit");
  	ret = pinctrl_select_state(p, s);
  
  or more simply:
  
  	p = devm_pinctrl_get_select(dev, "8bit");
  
  Will be that you activate all the three bottom records in the mapping at
  once. Since they share the same name, pin controller device, function and
  device, and since we allow multiple groups to match to a single device, they
  all get selected, and they all get enabled and disable simultaneously by the
  pinmux core.
  
  
  Pin control requests from drivers
  =================================
  
  When a device driver is about to probe the device core will automatically
  attempt to issue pinctrl_get_select_default() on these devices.
  This way driver writers do not need to add any of the boilerplate code
  of the type found below. However when doing fine-grained state selection
  and not using the "default" state, you may have to do some device driver
  handling of the pinctrl handles and states.
  
  So if you just want to put the pins for a certain device into the default
  state and be done with it, there is nothing you need to do besides
  providing the proper mapping table. The device core will take care of
  the rest.
  
  Generally it is discouraged to let individual drivers get and enable pin
  control. So if possible, handle the pin control in platform code or some other
  place where you have access to all the affected struct device * pointers. In
  some cases where a driver needs to e.g. switch between different mux mappings
  at runtime this is not possible.
  
  A typical case is if a driver needs to switch bias of pins from normal
  operation and going to sleep, moving from the PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT to
  PINCTRL_STATE_SLEEP at runtime, re-biasing or even re-muxing pins to save
  current in sleep mode.
  
  A driver may request a certain control state to be activated, usually just the
  default state like this:
  
  #include <linux/pinctrl/consumer.h>
  
  struct foo_state {
         struct pinctrl *p;
         struct pinctrl_state *s;
         ...
  };
  
  foo_probe()
  {
  	/* Allocate a state holder named "foo" etc */
  	struct foo_state *foo = ...;
  
  	foo->p = devm_pinctrl_get(&device);
  	if (IS_ERR(foo->p)) {
  		/* FIXME: clean up "foo" here */
  		return PTR_ERR(foo->p);
  	}
  
  	foo->s = pinctrl_lookup_state(foo->p, PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT);
  	if (IS_ERR(foo->s)) {
  		/* FIXME: clean up "foo" here */
  		return PTR_ERR(s);
  	}
  
  	ret = pinctrl_select_state(foo->s);
  	if (ret < 0) {
  		/* FIXME: clean up "foo" here */
  		return ret;
  	}
  }
  
  This get/lookup/select/put sequence can just as well be handled by bus drivers
  if you don't want each and every driver to handle it and you know the
  arrangement on your bus.
  
  The semantics of the pinctrl APIs are:
  
  - pinctrl_get() is called in process context to obtain a handle to all pinctrl
    information for a given client device. It will allocate a struct from the
    kernel memory to hold the pinmux state. All mapping table parsing or similar
    slow operations take place within this API.
  
  - devm_pinctrl_get() is a variant of pinctrl_get() that causes pinctrl_put()
    to be called automatically on the retrieved pointer when the associated
    device is removed. It is recommended to use this function over plain
    pinctrl_get().
  
  - pinctrl_lookup_state() is called in process context to obtain a handle to a
    specific state for a client device. This operation may be slow, too.
  
  - pinctrl_select_state() programs pin controller hardware according to the
    definition of the state as given by the mapping table. In theory, this is a
    fast-path operation, since it only involved blasting some register settings
    into hardware. However, note that some pin controllers may have their
    registers on a slow/IRQ-based bus, so client devices should not assume they
    can call pinctrl_select_state() from non-blocking contexts.
  
  - pinctrl_put() frees all information associated with a pinctrl handle.
  
  - devm_pinctrl_put() is a variant of pinctrl_put() that may be used to
    explicitly destroy a pinctrl object returned by devm_pinctrl_get().
    However, use of this function will be rare, due to the automatic cleanup
    that will occur even without calling it.
  
    pinctrl_get() must be paired with a plain pinctrl_put().
    pinctrl_get() may not be paired with devm_pinctrl_put().
    devm_pinctrl_get() can optionally be paired with devm_pinctrl_put().
    devm_pinctrl_get() may not be paired with plain pinctrl_put().
  
  Usually the pin control core handled the get/put pair and call out to the
  device drivers bookkeeping operations, like checking available functions and
  the associated pins, whereas the enable/disable pass on to the pin controller
  driver which takes care of activating and/or deactivating the mux setting by
  quickly poking some registers.
  
  The pins are allocated for your device when you issue the devm_pinctrl_get()
  call, after this you should be able to see this in the debugfs listing of all
  pins.
  
  NOTE: the pinctrl system will return -EPROBE_DEFER if it cannot find the
  requested pinctrl handles, for example if the pinctrl driver has not yet
  registered. Thus make sure that the error path in your driver gracefully
  cleans up and is ready to retry the probing later in the startup process.
  
  
  Drivers needing both pin control and GPIOs
  ==========================================
  
  Again, it is discouraged to let drivers lookup and select pin control states
  themselves, but again sometimes this is unavoidable.
  
  So say that your driver is fetching its resources like this:
  
  #include <linux/pinctrl/consumer.h>
  #include <linux/gpio.h>
  
  struct pinctrl *pinctrl;
  int gpio;
  
  pinctrl = devm_pinctrl_get_select_default(&dev);
  gpio = devm_gpio_request(&dev, 14, "foo");
  
  Here we first request a certain pin state and then request GPIO 14 to be
  used. If you're using the subsystems orthogonally like this, you should
  nominally always get your pinctrl handle and select the desired pinctrl
  state BEFORE requesting the GPIO. This is a semantic convention to avoid
  situations that can be electrically unpleasant, you will certainly want to
  mux in and bias pins in a certain way before the GPIO subsystems starts to
  deal with them.
  
  The above can be hidden: using the device core, the pinctrl core may be
  setting up the config and muxing for the pins right before the device is
  probing, nevertheless orthogonal to the GPIO subsystem.
  
  But there are also situations where it makes sense for the GPIO subsystem
  to communicate directly with the pinctrl subsystem, using the latter as a
  back-end. This is when the GPIO driver may call out to the functions
  described in the section "Pin control interaction with the GPIO subsystem"
  above. This only involves per-pin multiplexing, and will be completely
  hidden behind the gpio_*() function namespace. In this case, the driver
  need not interact with the pin control subsystem at all.
  
  If a pin control driver and a GPIO driver is dealing with the same pins
  and the use cases involve multiplexing, you MUST implement the pin controller
  as a back-end for the GPIO driver like this, unless your hardware design
  is such that the GPIO controller can override the pin controller's
  multiplexing state through hardware without the need to interact with the
  pin control system.
  
  
  System pin control hogging
  ==========================
  
  Pin control map entries can be hogged by the core when the pin controller
  is registered. This means that the core will attempt to call pinctrl_get(),
  lookup_state() and select_state() on it immediately after the pin control
  device has been registered.
  
  This occurs for mapping table entries where the client device name is equal
  to the pin controller device name, and the state name is PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT.
  
  {
  	.dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
  	.name = PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT,
  	.type = PIN_MAP_TYPE_MUX_GROUP,
  	.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl-foo",
  	.function = "power_func",
  },
  
  Since it may be common to request the core to hog a few always-applicable
  mux settings on the primary pin controller, there is a convenience macro for
  this:
  
  PIN_MAP_MUX_GROUP_HOG_DEFAULT("pinctrl-foo", NULL /* group */, "power_func")
  
  This gives the exact same result as the above construction.
  
  
  Runtime pinmuxing
  =================
  
  It is possible to mux a certain function in and out at runtime, say to move
  an SPI port from one set of pins to another set of pins. Say for example for
  spi0 in the example above, we expose two different groups of pins for the same
  function, but with different named in the mapping as described under
  "Advanced mapping" above. So that for an SPI device, we have two states named
  "pos-A" and "pos-B".
  
  This snippet first muxes the function in the pins defined by group A, enables
  it, disables and releases it, and muxes it in on the pins defined by group B:
  
  #include <linux/pinctrl/consumer.h>
  
  struct pinctrl *p;
  struct pinctrl_state *s1, *s2;
  
  foo_probe()
  {
  	/* Setup */
  	p = devm_pinctrl_get(&device);
  	if (IS_ERR(p))
  		...
  
  	s1 = pinctrl_lookup_state(foo->p, "pos-A");
  	if (IS_ERR(s1))
  		...
  
  	s2 = pinctrl_lookup_state(foo->p, "pos-B");
  	if (IS_ERR(s2))
  		...
  }
  
  foo_switch()
  {
  	/* Enable on position A */
  	ret = pinctrl_select_state(s1);
  	if (ret < 0)
  	    ...
  
  	...
  
  	/* Enable on position B */
  	ret = pinctrl_select_state(s2);
  	if (ret < 0)
  	    ...
  
  	...
  }
  
  The above has to be done from process context. The reservation of the pins
  will be done when the state is activated, so in effect one specific pin
  can be used by different functions at different times on a running system.
