Recently as adoption of the pinctrl framework is reaching
niches where the pins are reconfigured during system sleep
and datasheets often talk about something called "GPIO mode",
some engineers become confused by this, thinking that since
it is named "GPIO (something something)" it must be modeled
in the kernel using .To clarify things, let's put in this piece of documentation,
or just start off the discussion here.Cc: Laurent Pinchart

This makes the device core auto-grab the pinctrl handle and set
the "default" (PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT) state for every device
that is present in the device model right before probe. This will
account for the lion's share of embedded silicon devcies.A modification of the semantics for pinctrl_get() is also done:
previously if the pinctrl handle for a certain device was already
taken, the pinctrl core would return an error. Now, since the
core may have already default-grabbed the handle and set its
state to "default", if the handle was already taken, this will
be disregarded and the located, previously instanitated handle
will be returned to the caller.This way all code in drivers explicitly requesting their pinctrl
handlers will still be functional, and drivers that want to
explicitly retrieve and switch their handles can still do that.
But if the desired functionality is just boilerplate of this
type in the probe() function:struct pinctrl *p;
p = devm_pinctrl_get_select_default(&dev);
if (IS_ERR(p)) {
if (PTR_ERR(p) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
return -EPROBE_DEFER;
dev_warn(&dev, "no pinctrl handle\n");
}The discussion began with the addition of such boilerplate
to the omap4 keypad driver:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-input&m=135091157719300&w=2A previous approach using notifiers was discussed:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135263661110528&w=2
This failed because it could not handle deferred probes.This patch alone does not solve the entire dilemma faced:
whether code should be distributed into the drivers or
if it should be centralized to e.g. a PM domain. But it
solves the immediate issue of the addition of boilerplate
to a lot of drivers that just want to grab the default
state. As mentioned, they can later explicitly retrieve
the handle and set different states, and this could as
well be done by e.g. PM domains as it is only related
to a certain struct device * pointer.ChangeLog v4->v5 (Stephen):
- Simplified the devicecore grab code.
- Deleted a piece of documentation recommending that pins
be mapped to a device rather than hogged.
ChangeLog v3->v4 (Linus):
- Drop overzealous NULL checks.
- Move kref initialization to pinctrl_create().
- Seeking Tested-by from Stephen Warren so we do not disturb
the Tegra platform.
- Seeking ACK on this from Greg (and others who like it) so I
can merge it through the pinctrl subsystem.
ChangeLog v2->v3 (Linus):
- Abstain from using IS_ERR_OR_NULL() in the driver core,
Russell recently sent a patch to remove it. Handle the
NULL case explicitly even though it's a bogus case.
- Make sure we handle probe deferral correctly in the device
core file. devm_kfree() the container on error so we don't
waste memory for devices without pinctrl handles.
- Introduce reference counting into the pinctrl core using
so that we don't release pinctrl handles
that have been obtained for two or more places.
ChangeLog v1->v2 (Linus):

this if it's really used by the device.Cc: Felipe Balbi

pinctrl subsystem needs gpio chip base to prepare set of gpio
pin ranges, which a given pinctrl driver can handle. This is
important to handle pinctrl gpio request calls in order to
program a given pin properly for gpio operation.As gpio base is allocated dynamically during gpiochip
registration, presently there exists no clean way to pass this
information to the pinctrl subsystem.After few discussions from [1], it was concluded that may be
gpio controller reporting the pin range it supports, is a
better way than pinctrl subsystem directly registering it.[1] http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/184816

This switches the way that pins are reserved for multiplexing:
We used to do this when the map was parsed, at the creation of
the settings inside the pinctrl handle, in pinmux_map_to_setting().However this does not work for us, because we want to use the
same set of pins with different devices at different times: the
current code assumes that the pin groups in a pinmux state will
only be used with one single device, albeit different groups can
be active at different times. For example if a single I2C driver
block is used to drive two different busses located on two
pin groups A and B, then the pins for all possible states of a
function are reserved when fetching the pinctrl handle: the
I2C bus can choose either set A or set B by a mux state at
runtime, but all pins in both group A and B (the superset) are
effectively reserved for that I2C function and mapped to the
device. Another device can never get in and use the pins in
group A, even if the device/function is using group B at the
moment.Instead: let use reserve the pins when the state is activated
and drop them when the state is disabled, i.e. when we move to
another state. This way different devices/functions can use the
same pins at different times.We know that this is an odd way of doing things, but we really
need to switch e.g. an SD-card slot to become a tracing output
sink at runtime: we plug in a special "tracing card" then mux
the pins that used to be an SD slot around to the tracing
unit and push out tracing data there instead of SD-card
traffic.As a side effect pinmux_free_setting() is unused but the stubs
are kept for future additions of code.Cc: Patrice Chotard

Most of the SoC drivers implement list_groups() and list_functions()
routines for pinctrl and pinmux. These routines continue returning
zero until the selector argument is greater than total count of
available groups or functions.This patch replaces these list_*() routines with get_*_count()
routines, which returns the number of available selection for SoC
driver. pinctrl layer will use this value to check the range it can
choose.This patch fixes all user drivers for this change. There are other
routines in user drivers, which have checks to check validity of
selector passed to them. It is also no more required and hence
removed.Documentation updated as well.

pinctrl_register_mappings() already requires that every mapping table
entry have a non-NULL name field.Logically, this makes sense too; drivers should always request a specific
named state so they know what they're getting. Relying on getting the
first mentioned state in the mapping table is error-prone, and a nasty

This provides a single centralized name for the default state.
Update PIN_MAP_* macros to use this state name, instead of requiring the
user to pass a state name in.With this change, hog entries in the mapping table are defined as those
with state name PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, i.e. all entries have the same
name. This interacts badly with the nested iteration over mapping table
entries in pinctrl_hog_maps() and pinctrl_hog_map() which would now
attempt to claim each hog mapping table entry multiple times. Replacing

This add per-pin and per-group pin config interfaces for biasing,
driving and other such electronic properties. The details of passed
configurations are passed in an opaque unsigned long which may be
dereferences to integer types, structs or lists on either side
of the configuration interface.ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Clear split of terminology: we now have pin controllers, and
those may support two interfaces using vtables: pin
multiplexing and pin configuration.
- Break out pin configuration to its own C file, controllers may
implement only config without mux, and vice versa, so keep each
sub-functionality of pin controllers separate. Introduce
CONFIG_PINCONF in Kconfig.
- Implement some core logic around pin configuration in the
pinconf.c file.
- Remove UNKNOWN config states, these were just surplus baggage.
- Remove FLOAT config state - HIGH_IMPEDANCE should be enough for
everyone.
- PIN_CONFIG_POWER_SOURCE added to handle switching the power
supply for the pin logic between different sources
- Explicit DISABLE config enums to turn schmitt-trigger,
wakeup etc OFF.
- Update documentation to reflect all the recent reasoning.
ChangeLog v2->v3:
- Twist API around to pass around arrays of config tuples instead
of (param, value) pairs everywhere.
- Explicit drive strength semantics for push/pull and similar
drive modes, this shall be the number of drive stages vs
nominal load impedance, which should match the actual
electronics used in push/pull CMOS or TTY totempoles.
- Drop load capacitance configuration - I probably don't know
what I'm doing here so leave it out.
- Drop PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_SCHMITT_OFF, instead the argument zero to
PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_SCHMITT turns schmitt trigger off.
- Drop PIN_CONFIG_NORMAL_POWER_MODE and have a well defined
argument to PIN_CONFIG_LOW_POWER_MODE to get out of it instead.
- Drop PIN_CONFIG_WAKEUP_ENABLE/DISABLE and just use
PIN_CONFIG_WAKEUP with defined value zero to turn wakeup off.
- Add PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_DEBOUNCE for configuring debounce time
on input lines.
- Fix a bug when we tried to configure pins for pin controllers
without pinconf support.
- Initialized debugfs properly so it works.
- Initialize the mutex properly and lock around config tampering
sections.
- Check the return value from get_initial_config() properly.
ChangeLog v3->v4:
- Export the pin_config_get(), pin_config_set() and
pin_config_group() functions.
- Drop the entire concept of just getting initial config and
keeping track of pin states internally, instead ask the pins
what state they are in. Previous idea was plain wrong, if the
device cannot keep track of its state, the driver should do
it.
- Drop the generic configuration layout, it seems this impose
too much restriction on some pin controllers, so let them do
things the way they want and split off support for generic
config as an optional add-on.
ChangeLog v4->v5:
- Introduce two symmetric driver calls for group configuration,
.pin_config_group_[get|set] and corresponding external calls.
- Remove generic semantic meanings of return values from config
calls, these belong in the generic config patch. Just pass the
return value through instead.
- Add a debugfs entry "pinconf-groups" to read status from group
configuration only, also slam in a per-group debug callback in
the pinconf_ops so custom drivers can display something
meaningful for their pins.
- Fix some dangling newline.
- Drop dangling #else clause.
- Update documentation to match the above.
ChangeLog v5->v6:
- Change to using a pin name as parameter for the
[get|set]_config() functions, as suggested by Stephen Warren.
This is more natural as names will be what a developer has
access to in written documentation etc.
ChangeLog v6->v7:
- Refactor out by-pin and by-name get/set functions, only expose
the by-name functions externally, expose the by-pin functions
internally.

pinctrl-devices file.Acked-by: Stephen Warren

This patch enables mapping a base offset of gpio ranges with
a pin offset even if does'nt matched. A base of pinctrl_gpio_range
means a base offset of gpio. However, we cannot convert gpio to pin
number for sparse gpio ranges just only using a gpio base offset.
We can convert a gpio to real pin number(even if not matched) using
a new pin_base which means a base pin offset of requested gpio range.
Now, the pin control subsystem passes the pin base offset to the
pinmux driver.For example, let's assume below two gpio ranges in the system.

This creates a subsystem for handling of pin control devices.
These are devices that control different aspects of package
pins.Currently it handles pinmuxing, i.e. assigning electronic
functions to groups of pins on primarily PGA and BGA type of
chip packages which are common in embedded systems.The plan is to also handle other I/O pin control aspects
such as biasing, driving, input properties such as
schmitt-triggering, load capacitance etc within this
subsystem, to remove a lot of ARM arch code as well as
feature-creepy GPIO drivers which are implementing the same
thing over and over again.This is being done to depopulate the arch/arm/* directory
of such custom drivers and try to abstract the infrastructure
they all need. See the Documentation/pinctrl.txt file that is
part of this patch for more details.ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Various minor fixes from Joe's and Stephens review comments
- Added a pinmux_config() that can invoke custom configuration
with arbitrary data passed in or out to/from the pinmux driverChangeLog v2->v3:
- Renamed subsystem folder to "pinctrl" since we will likely
want to keep other pin control such as biasing in this
subsystem too, so let us keep to something generic even though
we're mainly doing pinmux now.
- As a consequence, register pins as an abstract entity separate
from the pinmux. The muxing functions will claim pins out of the
pin pool and make sure they do not collide. Pins can now be
named by the pinctrl core.
- Converted the pin lookup from a static array into a radix tree,
I agreed with Grant Likely to try to avoid any static allocation
(which is crap for device tree stuff) so I just rewrote this
to be dynamic, just like irq number descriptors. The
platform-wide definition of number of pins goes away - this is
now just the sum total of the pins registered to the subsystem.
- Make sure mappings with only a function name and no device
works properly.ChangeLog v3->v4:
- Define a number space per controller instead of globally,
Stephen and Grant requested the same thing so now maps need to
define target controller, and the radix tree of pin descriptors
is a property on each pin controller device.
- Add a compulsory pinctrl device entry to the pinctrl mapping
table. This must match the pinctrl device, like "pinctrl.0"
- Split the file core.c in two: core.c and pinmux.c where the
latter carry all pinmux stuff, the core is for generic pin
control, and use local headers to access functionality between
files. It is now possible to implement a "blank" pin controller
without pinmux capabilities. This split will make new additions
like pindrive.c, pinbias.c etc possible for combined drivers
and chunks of functionality which is a GoodThing(TM).
- Rewrite the interaction with the GPIO subsystem - the pin
controller descriptor now handles this by defining an offset
into the GPIO numberspace for its handled pin range. This is
used to look up the apropriate pin controller for a GPIO pin.
Then that specific GPIO range is matched 1-1 for the target
controller instance.
- Fixed a number of review comments from Joe Perches.
- Broke out a header file pinctrl.h for the core pin handling
stuff that will be reused by other stuff than pinmux.
- Fixed some erroneous EXPORT() stuff.
- Remove mispatched U300 Kconfig and Makefile entries
- Fixed a number of review comments from Stephen Warren, not all
of them - still WIP. But I think the new mapping that will
specify which function goes to which pin mux controller address
50% of your concerns (else beat me up).ChangeLog v4->v5:
- Defined a "position" for each function, so the pin controller now
tracks a function in a certain position, and the pinmux maps define
what position you want the function in. (Feedback from Stephen
Warren and Sascha Hauer).
- Since we now need to request a combined function+position from
the machine mapping table that connect mux settings to drivers,
it was extended with a position field and a name field. The
name field is now used if you e.g. need to switch between two
mux map settings at runtime.
- Switched from a class device to using struct bus_type for this
subsystem. Verified sysfs functionality: seems to work fine.
(Feedback from Arnd Bergmann and Greg Kroah-Hartman)
- Define a per pincontroller list of GPIO ranges from the GPIO
pin space that can be handled by the pin controller. These can
be added one by one at runtime. (Feedback from Barry Song)
- Expanded documentation of regulator_[get|enable|disable|put]
semantics.
- Fixed a number of review comments from Barry Song. (Thanks!)ChangeLog v5->v6:
- Create an abstract pin group concept that can sort pins into
named and enumerated groups no matter what the use of these
groups may be, one possible usecase is a group of pins being
muxed in or so. The intention is however to also use these
groups for other pin control activities.
- Make it compulsory for pinmux functions to associate with
at least one group, so the abstract pin group concept is used
to define the groups of pins affected by a pinmux function.
The pinmux driver interface has been altered so as to enforce
a function to list applicable groups per function.
- Provide an optional .group entry in the pinmux machine map
so the map can select beteween different available groups
to be used with a certain function.
- Consequent changes all over the place so that e.g. debugfs
present reasonable information about the world.
- Drop the per-pin mux (*config) function in the pinmux_ops
struct - I was afraid that this would start to be used for
things totally unrelated to muxing, we can introduce that to
the generic struct pinctrl_ops if needed. I want to keep
muxing orthogonal to other pin control subjects and not mix
these things up.ChangeLog v6->v7:
- Make it possible to have several map entries matching the
same device, pin controller and function, but using
a different group, and alter the semantics so that
pinmux_get() will pick all matching map entries, and
store the associated groups in a list. The list will
then be iterated over at pinmux_enable()/pinmux_disable()
and corresponding driver functions called for each
defined group. Notice that you're only allowed to map
multiple *groups* to the same
{ device, pin controller, function } triplet, attempts
to map the same device to multiple pin controllers will
for example fail. This is hopefully the crucial feature
requested by Stephen Warren.
- Add a pinmux hogging field to the pinmux mapping entries,
and enable the pinmux core to hog pinmux map entries.
This currently only works for pinmuxes without assigned
devices as it looks now, but with device trees we can
look up the corresponding struct device * entries when
we register the pinmux driver, and have it hog each
pinmux map in turn, for a simple approach to
non-dynamic pin muxing. This addresses an issue from
Grant Likely that the machine should take care of as
much of the pinmux setup as possible, not the devices.
By supplying a list of hogs, it can now instruct the
core to take care of any static mappings.
- Switch pinmux group retrieveal function to grab an
array of strings representing the groups rather than an
array of unsigned and rewrite accordingly.
- Alter debugfs to show the grouplist handled by each
pinmux. Also add a list of hogs.
- Dynamically allocate a struct pinmux at pinmux_get() and
free it at pinmux_put(), then add these to the global
list of pinmuxes active as we go along.
- Go over the list of pinmux maps at pinmux_get() time
and repeatedly apply matches.
- Retrieve applicable groups per function from the driver
as a string array rather than a unsigned array, then
lookup the enumerators.
- Make the device to pinmux map a singleton - only allow the
mapping table to be registered once and even tag the
registration function with __init so it surely won't be
abused.
- Create a separate debugfs file to view the pinmux map at
runtime.
- Introduce a spin lock to the pin descriptor struct, lock it
when modifying pin status entries. Reported by Stijn Devriendt.
- Fix up the documentation after review from Stephen Warren.
- Let the GPIO ranges give names as const char * instead of some
fixed-length string.
- add a function to unregister GPIO ranges to mirror the
registration function.
- Privatized the struct pinctrl_device and removed it from the
API, the drivers do not need to know
the members of this struct. It is now in the local header
"core.h".
- Rename the concept of "anonymous" mux maps to "system" muxes
and add convenience macros and documentation.ChangeLog v7->v8:
- Delete the leftover pinmux_config() function from the
header.
- Fix a race condition found by Stijn Devriendt in pin_request()ChangeLog v8->v9:
- Drop the bus_type and the sysfs attributes and all, we're not on
the clear about how this should be used for e.g. userspace
interfaces so let us save this for the future.
- Use the right name in MAINTAINERS, PIN CONTROL rather than
PINMUX
- Don't kfree() the device state holder, let the .remove() callback
handle this.
- Fix up numerous kerneldoc headers to have one line for the function
description and more verbose documentation below the parametersChangeLog v9->v10:
- pinctrl: EXPORT_SYMBOL needs export.h, folded in a patch
from Steven Rothwell
- fix pinctrl_register error handling, folded in a patch from
Axel Lin
- Various fixes to documentation text so that it's consistent.
- Removed pointless comment from drivers/Kconfig
- Removed dependency on SYSFS since we removed the bus in
v9.
- Renamed hopelessly abbreviated pctldev_* functions to the
more verbose pinctrl_dev_*
- Drop mutex properly when looking up GPIO ranges
- Return NULL instead of ERR_PTR() errors on registration of
pin controllers, using cast pointers is fragile. We can
live without the detailed error codes for sure.Cc: Stijn Devriendt
