If your device uses several GPIOs with +distinct functions, reference each of them under its own property, giving it a +meaningful name. The only case where an array of GPIOs is accepted is when +several GPIOs serve the same function (e.g. a parallel data line). + +The exact purpose of each gpios property must be documented in the device tree +binding of the device. + +The following example could be used to describe GPIO pins used as device enable +and bit-banged data signals: + + gpio1: gpio1 { + gpio-controller + #gpio-cells = <2>; + }; + gpio2: gpio2 { + gpio-controller + #gpio-cells = <1>; + }; + [...] + + enable-gpios = <&gpio2 2>; + data-gpios = <&gpio1 12 0>, + <&gpio1 13 0>, + <&gpio1 14 0>, + <&gpio1 15 0>; + +Note that gpio-specifier length is controller dependent. In the +above example, &gpio1 uses 2 cells to specify a gpio, while &gpio2 +only uses one. + +gpio-specifier may encode: bank, pin position inside the bank, +whether pin is open-drain and whether pin is logically inverted. +Exact meaning of each specifier cell is controller specific, and must +be documented in the device tree binding for the device.

If it does, the follow best practices should be followed: + +The gpio-specifier's polarity flag should represent the physical level at the +GPIO controller that achieves (or represents, for inputs) a logically asserted +value at the device. The exact definition of logically asserted should be +defined by the binding for the device. If the board inverts the signal between +the GPIO controller and the device, then the gpio-specifier will represent the +opposite physical level than the signal at the device's pin. + +When the device's signal polarity is configurable, the binding for the +device must either: + +a) Define a single static polarity for the signal, with the expectation that +any software using that binding would statically program the device to use +that signal polarity. + +The static choice of polarity may be either: + +a1) (Preferred) Dictated by a binding-specific DT property. + +or: + +a2) Defined statically by the DT binding itself. + +In particular, the polarity cannot be derived from the gpio-specifier, since +that would prevent the DT from separately representing the two orthogonal +concepts of configurable signal polarity in the device, and possible board- +level signal inversion. + +or: + +b) Pick a single option for device signal polarity, and document this choice +in the binding. The gpio-specifier should represent the polarity of the signal +(at the GPIO controller) assuming that the device is configured for this +particular signal polarity choice. If software chooses to program the device +to generate or receive a signal of the opposite polarity, software will be +responsible for correctly interpreting (inverting) the GPIO signal at the GPIO +controller. + +2) gpio-controller nodes +------------------------ + +Every GPIO controller node must contain both an empty "gpio-controller" +property, and a #gpio-cells integer property, which indicates the number of +cells in a gpio-specifier. + +Example of two SOC GPIO banks defined as gpio-controller nodes: + + qe_pio_a: gpio-controller@1400 { + compatible = "fsl,qe-pario-bank-a", "fsl,qe-pario-bank"; + reg = <0x1400 0x18>; + gpio-controller; + #gpio-cells = <2>; + }; + + qe_pio_e: gpio-controller@1460 { + compatible = "fsl,qe-pario-bank-e", "fsl,qe-pario-bank"; + reg = <0x1460 0x18>; + gpio-controller; + #gpio-cells = <2>; + }; + +2.1) gpio- and pin-controller interaction +----------------------------------------- + +Some or all of the GPIOs provided by a GPIO controller may be routed to pins +on the package via a pin controller. This allows muxing those pins between +GPIO and other functions. + +It is useful to represent which GPIOs correspond to which pins on which pin +controllers. The gpio-ranges property described below represents this, and +contains information structures as follows: + + gpio-range-list ::= <single-gpio-range> [gpio-range-list] + single-gpio-range ::= <numeric-gpio-range> | <named-gpio-range> + numeric-gpio-range ::= + <pinctrl-phandle> <gpio-base> <pinctrl-base> <count> + named-gpio-range ::= <pinctrl-phandle> <gpio-base> '<0 0>' + gpio-phandle : phandle to pin controller node. + gpio-base : Base GPIO ID in the GPIO controller + pinctrl-base : Base pinctrl pin ID in the pin controller + count : The number of GPIOs/pins in this range + +The "pin controller node" mentioned above must conform to the bindings +described in ../pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt. + +In case named gpio ranges are used (ranges with both <pinctrl-base> and +<count> set to 0), the property gpio-ranges-group-names contains one string +for every single-gpio-range in gpio-ranges: + gpiorange-names-list ::= <gpiorange-name> [gpiorange-names-list] + gpiorange-name : Name of the pingroup associated to the GPIO range in + the respective pin controller. + +Elements of gpiorange-names-list corresponding to numeric ranges contain +the empty string. Elements of gpiorange-names-list corresponding to named +ranges contain the name of a pin group defined in the respective pin +controller. The number of pins/GPIOs in the range is the number of pins in +that pin group. + +Previous versions of this binding required all pin controller nodes that +were referenced by any gpio-ranges property to contain a property named +#gpio-range-cells with value <3>. This requirement is now deprecated. +However, that property may still exist in older device trees for +compatibility reasons, and would still be required even in new device +trees that need to be compatible with older software. + +Example 1: + + qe_pio_e: gpio-controller@1460 { + #gpio-cells = <2>; + compatible = "fsl,qe-pario-bank-e", "fsl,qe-pario-bank"; + reg = <0x1460 0x18>; + gpio-controller; + gpio-ranges = <&pinctrl1 0 20 10>, <&pinctrl2 10 50 20>; + }; + +Here, a single GPIO controller has GPIOs 0..9 routed to pin controller +pinctrl1's pins 20..29, and GPIOs 10..19 routed to pin controller pinctrl2's +pins 50..59. + +Example 2: + + gpio_pio_i: gpio-controller@14B0 { + #gpio-cells = <2>; + compatible = "fsl,qe-pario-bank-e", "fsl,qe-pario-bank"; + reg = <0x1480 0x18>; + gpio-controller; + gpio-ranges = <&pinctrl1 0 20 10>, + <&pinctrl2 10 0 0>, + <&pinctrl1 15 0 10>, + <&pinctrl2 25 0 0>; + gpio-ranges-group-names = "", + "foo", + "", + "bar"; + }; + +Here, three GPIO ranges are defined wrt. two pin controllers. pinctrl1 GPIO +ranges are defined using pin numbers whereas the GPIO ranges wrt. pinctrl2 +are named "foo" and "bar". diff --git a/doc/device-tree-bindings/gpio/nvidia,tegra20-gpio.txt b/doc/device-tree-bindings/gpio/nvidia,tegra20-gpio.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..023c952 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/device-tree-bindings/gpio/nvidia,tegra20-gpio.txt @@ -0,0 +1,40 @@ +NVIDIA Tegra GPIO controller + +Required properties: +- compatible : "nvidia,tegra<chip>-gpio" +- reg : Physical base address and length of the controller's registers. +- interrupts : The interrupt outputs from the controller.
