From: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>

This creates a subsystem for handling of pin control devices.
These are devices that control different aspects of package
pins.

Currently it handled pinmuxing, i.e. assign electronic functions
to groups of pins of pins on primarily PGA and BGA type of chip
packages and 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.

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/pinmux.txt file that is part of this
patch for more details.

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!)

My thoughts:

I guess "positions" can be used to represent the muxing capabilities of
Tegra. However, I still don't think this is the right model.

1) There is still a 1:1 correspondence between what a function in the
pinmux core<->driver interface, and the pinmux mapping table. I believe
we need a 1:n correspondence.

HW typically has a set of pins (or pingroups on Tegra), and there's a
register field for each of these that indicates which signal (or set of
signals in the pin group case) are mux'd to it/them. At this level,
setting a pin/pingroup to a particular function isn't all that's required
to use a particular IO controller; you typically need to apply the same
function to many pins/pingroups.

However, the pinmux API defines a function as everything needed to use
a an entire driver/controller.

Now, I do see that the concept of "position" can encompass this, but I
don't think it's entirely right for it to do so:

* "Positions" don't map very well to the HW programming model I assert
above.

* With the current "position" usage, the data structures are not in
"normal form" (normalized), taking a leaf from database technology.

* Normalizing would help the "combinatorial explosion" problem mentioned
before.

i.e. rather than:

driver function/position list:
function@position pins
----------------- ----
mmc0@0            0, 1, 2, 3
mmc0@1            0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
mmc0@2            0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

core mapping table:
driver  name  function@position
------  ----  -----------------
mmc0    2-bit mmc0@0
mmc0    4-bit mmc0@1
mmc0    8-bit mmc0@2

I'd far rather see:

driver function list:
function
---------
mmc0

driver pin/pingrup list: (names of pins or pingroups):
pingroup
--------
A
B
C

core mapping table:
driver  name  position  function
------  ----  --------  ---------
mmc0    2-bit A         mmc0
mmc0    4-bit A         mmc0
mmc0    4-bit B         mmc0
mmc0    8-bit A         mmc0
mmc0    8-bit B         mmc0
mmc0    8-bit C         mmc0

Note again that I'm assuming above that the driver-supplied function and
pingroup list included all possible options the SoC HW supports, whereas
the mapping table would include just those configurations ever actually
used by the particular board the code is executed upon; from board files
or devicetree data. Hence, a given board would only need rows 0, 1+2, or
3+4+5 from the mapping table shown above, assuming the width of the MMC
port didn't vary at run-time.

2) "Positions" are defined per "function", rather than as a global concept.

This leads to positions having meaningless integer names. As such,
constructing the mapping table will be error-prone; who could remember
that position 0 is a 2-bit bus using a certain set of pins, yet position
1 is an 8-bit bus using a different set of pins? I suppose textual names
might help here. However, by replacing the concept of positions with
multiple explicit entries in the mapping table (as in my example above),
that problem is solved; we name the pins (or pingroups) to which we apply
the driver-level function in each entry, thus it's more self-documenting.

3) It's unclear how well pinmux_config() can be applied.

Some pin parameters might be defined per:

* Pin (probably most systems other than Tegra)
* Pin group (for pull-up/down, tristate on Tegra)
* Drive group (another set of groups of pins on Tegra that arbitrarily
overlap/intersect with the mux pin groups (for drive-strength settings
on Tegra).

For pinmux_config() to work, we'd need some API-level concept in order
to name what pin/group to apply various settings to. Currently, that
naming is an entry from the core mapping table, since pinmux_config()
works on functions returned by pinmux_get(). That doesn't seem right,
since it prevents the API being used for individual pins/pingroups. Even
where say 5 different pins/pingroups are used by the same mapping table
function, there's no reason to believe that their tristate or drive
strength attributes would all be identical; at least input and output
pins or control and data might be programmed differently.


So in summary, I really think the data model should be as below.

Now, I know you've referred to this as a "telephone exchange" model, and
argued that we don't need full telephone exchange support, but even if
that's true (and I'm not convinced), I really don't see the problem in
using it; it seems as simple for everything, simpler for some things,
and allows the API to implement any possible new SoC that might appear
in the future.

Driver-supplied data 1)

Table of functions, each entry containing:
* Name of function

Driver-supplied data 2)

Table of pins, each entry containing:
* Name of pin

Driver-supplied data 3)

Optional table of pingroups, each entry containing:
* Name of pingroup
* List of pins in the pingroup

Or, in more normalized fashion, with multiple rows per pingroup, each
entry containing:
* Name of pingroup
* One pin with in the pingroup

Driver-supplied data 4)

Table of legal functions per pin/pingroup; each entry containing:
* Name of pin or pingroup
* List of functions that can be legally mux'd to the pin or pingroup

Or, in more normalized fashion, with multiple rows per pingroup, each
entry containing:
* Name of pin or pingroup
* One legal function that can be legally mux'd to the pin or pingroup

Board-supplied data 1)

Mapping table, each entry containing:
* Driver name/pointer
* Name of function seen by driver
* Pin/pingroup name to configure
* Name of driver function to apply to pin/pingroup

Note that I assume there may be multiple rows for any combination of the
first two fields in this table, and that all will be operated on by a
single pinmux_get()/pinmux_enable() call.

Some enhancements in the above list of tables over previous times that I've
talked about this:

* Created a separate optional table for a list of pingroups, thus not
burdening SoCs other than Tegra with the pingroup concept.

* Allow either a pin or pingroup name in the driver's "table of legal
functions per pin" and the "mapping table"; core can simply look through
the pingroup table if present, then fall back to looking in pin table,
when determining what a pin/pingroup name means.

* I assume that entries in the "table of pins" or "table of pingroups"
might have no corresponding entries in " Table of legal functions per
pin"; in this case, those pin/pingroup names would only be useful for
pinmux_config() to operate on.


P.S. I'll be on vacation 9/2-9/17. I'm not sure if I'll have any form of
network access during this time or not. You may not see many more pinmux
comments from me during that time.

Hi Linus,

This is looking really great!  A couple of pedantic nits inline, but 
with the gpio ranges support I think this covers all of the bases that 
we need from pin control, so thanks!

As you have a struct device in pctldev, you should be able to do:

#define to_pinctrl_dev(__dev) \
	container_of(__dev, struct pinctrl_dev, dev)

struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev = to_pinctrl_dev(dev);

then you don't need to use the driver data.

I don't think you need the kfree() here as it should get called in the 
devices release method.

I think this needs to be a device_unregister() rather than put device, 
and the kfree() can be dropped.

Possibly also do a dev_set_drvdata(&pctldev->dev, NULL) here too?

@gpio_range is only valid if @gpio == true, so we could drop @gpio and 
only do gpio_request_enable if gpio_range != NULL?  At least that way we 
can't call gpio_request_enable with a NULL gpio_range (which I don't 
think is valid?).

Shouldn't this return ret from ops->config()?

Yes I know that, but the positions were never
about solving that issue.

What you are requesting (just like earlier) is
that one requlator_get() should be able to
retrieve multiple map entries and enable/disable
them.

I 've been working on that, it's just a bit tricky.

There is no combined function@postion,
these are two were separate fields in the
struct pinmux_map.

What I wanted to express was the noted feature of the
hardware to have the same function in several positions
simply, believing it would be more intuitive.

But since the positions does not seem to be the
answer to the question I've just ripped them out
again. It is now (v6) replaced with a pin group
concept which I hope is closer to what you want.

Can now be found in
<debugfs>/pinctrl/pinctrl.0/pinmux-functions

It will now show the list of different groups that the
function can use.

So a function has 1..* groups associated with it.

Example from U300:

root@ME:/debug/pinctrl/pinctrl.0 cat pinmux-functions
function: power, groups = [ powergrp ]
function: uart0, groups = [ uart0grp ]
function: mmc0, groups = [ mmc0grp ]
function: spi0, groups = [ spi0grp ]

Just one group per function here but can be many.

> driver pin/pingrup list: (names of pins or pingroups):
> pingroup
> --------
> A
> B
> C

Can now be found in
<debugfs>/pinctrl/pinctrl.0/pingroups

Example from U300:

root@ME:/debug/pinctrl/pinctrl.0 cat pingroups
registered pin groups:
group: powergrp, pins = [ 0 1 3 31 46 47 49 50 61 62 63 64 78 79 80 81

group: spi0grp, pins = [ 420 421 422 423 424 425 ]

Notice that it's not prefixed with the string
"pinmux-", it's just a number of groups of pins,
which can be used for anything, one usecase is
muxing. So I now have an abstract pin group
concept and the pinmux function has atleast
one such group associated.

> mmc0    8-bit B         mmc0
> mmc0    8-bit C         mmc0

Now the struct pinmux_map entries look
like this:

struct pinmux_map {
        const char *name;
        struct device *ctrl_dev;
        const char *ctrl_dev_name;
        const char *function;
        const char *group;
        struct device *dev;
        const char *dev_name;
};

Correspondance per above would be:

dev_name, name, group, function

function and group names shall match what is
presented from the pin controller driver.

You can thing of this as SQL:

SELECT ctrl_dev_name,
TOP 1
  FROM MAPS
  WHERE dev_name = device_name
  AND ctrl_dev_name = ctrl_dev_name
  AND function = function
  AND group = group

(the struct device * entries are for the shiny world
where we can access all struct device * at boot or
so)

Then it's the first point about multiple maps
per mux again I guess, when you write like this:

> mmc0    8-bit A         mmc0
> mmc0    8-bit B         mmc0
> mmc0    8-bit C         mmc0

I assume you mean that semantically this shall
be a 1..* relation, so that if I say:

pmx = pinmux_get(&dev, "8-bit");

Then all pins in the union {A, B, C} shall be
allocated and enabled/disabled simultaneously.

so it'd be like the database equivalent:

I am working on that...

This is my current working assumption also.

The pinmux driver should nominally expose all functions in all
possible positions.

Then the pinmux_map maps usually one but sometimes
more of these {function, position} tuples to the device.

And, you also request the currently not implemented
extenstion that a mux can match multiple map entries.

I'll fix.

OK we're on the same page I think. If I fix this, then
you're happy?

Again I can replace position integers with strings if that is what

Agee. I will delete this function from pinmux_ops since
it seems it will only be abused for things that are
unrelated to muxing. No shoehorning...

Since these things are unrelated to muxing I prefer that
we add that as a separate set of ops in struct pinctrl_device.

The driver can very well reuse the same groups internally,
nothing prevents that.

I am not intending to address the issue of pin bias,
driver strength, load capacitance, schmitt-trigger input
etc etc etc in this first iteration of the pin control subsystem,
what I want is to get the infrastructure and pin muxing
into the kernel then extend it with other pin control.

I'm trying to avoid excess upfront design.

Do you think these features are needed from day 1
to be of any use for Tegra?

Let's avoid trying to solve the things that are not really pinmuxing
with any concept from <linux/pinmux.h>, and let's have separation
of concerns.

I'll kill the (*config) callback for now.

I don't get this "one pin within the the pingroup"
what if the same pin is part of multiple groups?

The first suggestion seems more solid to me.

I don't know the exact SQL syntax anymore, thing

What I wanted to illustrate here is that the database
return multiple matching rows.

Anyway, I'm onto that.

I will need Arnds or similars advice on it so we don't
grow a lib/mysql into the kernel with this kind of
schemes and get slammed for overcomplicating
things when trying to merge the beast.

So I'm still a bit reluctant about this part  :-/

{ function, group } it is.

Forget this, part of earlier reply.

positions are replaced with groups, which have names.

Should be pingroups, and output was correct in the first letter.

We don't have these multiple rows yet. But I'll try
to implement that.

Nah I made it compulsory for pinmux drivers to define their
affected group of pins using an associated abstract pin group.
Makes more sense to me and makes for code reuse if the
groups are used for other things.

Simplified by mandating to use groups. I hope.
A pin table would be equivalent to a group anyway,
just not having its own data structure.

I made it compulsory to associate at least one group of
pins to each function, easier to grasp.

No problem, I have all life to sort this out.

I /think/ the whole multi-row thing is just doing this:

for each row of table:
    if it matches search terms:
        Activate the specified function on the group

Whereas handling just one entry is almost the same:

for each row of table:
    if it matches search terms:
        Activate the specified function on the group
        break

Of course, in the former case, the error-handling also has to iterate
over all the already-processed rows and unreserved/unprogram the HW too,
but that should be a pretty simple loop too.

And replying to your immediately earlier email:

I haven't read patchset 6 yet, but from the descriptions in your email
and the patch 0 changelog, it certainly sounds like we're on very
similar pages now.

I think having just muxing support would work fine for a first pass.

Looking forward a little, I expect that different SoCs have such a
different set of biasing/driver-strength/... options that actually having
some formalized semantic representation of what those options are doesn't
make sense; all we need is a standard API to set the values for a given
pin or pingroup; just like the config API you already had, but applied
to pingroups rather than explicitly GPIOs, and where the driver supplies
the names for the settings and interprets what the values mean for a
given setting. I imagine having the config API in the first pass wouldn't
be contentious, provided it applied to pingroups.

Just possibly, I could imagine needing config entries in the mapping table,
so when switching between mapping entries at run-time you could both program
muxing and other configuration. However, that's definitely not a first-pass
thing, as you say. And I'm just guessing if it'll be needed anyway.

It was just a data-representation thing. You could either have:

struct {
    char * pingroup;
    int npins;
    int * pins;
};

Where one row represents everything about a pingroup, or:

struct {
    char * pingroup;
    int pin;
};

Where you'd need a row for each pin in a pingroup.

Go with whatever you find is easiest; I was just thinking databases for
a while!

I'm still thinking about this thing, when I (and others) wer trying to

enumerate the different things you could do with a pin, beginning
like this:

The basic assumption is that there are not that infinitely many
things you may want to do with a pin after all.

I can already think about interesting enumerators for
GPIO_CONFIG_INPUT_SCHMITT_TRIGGER
GPIO_CONFIG_INPUT_LOAD_CAPACITANCE
etc. But not unenumerable things.

The upside of this scheme is that we might have some handle on
trying to consolidate common functionality between drivers,
also to sort of consolidate the knowledge of what you can
do with pins in one place, even if you can't share any code.

For a stupid example the generic debugfs files could give you a list
of all pins in any system and what bias mode they're in, no
matter what platform we're dealing with, which would give the
some kind of cosy consensus for developers that platforms
are not that different after all.

+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
+
+The intention is to also deal with:
+
+- Software-controlled biasing and driving mode specific pins, such as
+  pull-up/down, open drain etc, load capacitance configuration when controlled
+  by software, 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 instatiated, 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 __refdata foo_pins[] = {
+      PINCTRL_PIN(0, "A1"),
+      PINCTRL_PIN(1, "A2"),
+      PINCTRL_PIN(2, "A3"),
+      ...
+      PINCTRL_PIN(61, "H6"),
+      PINCTRL_PIN(62, "H7"),
+      PINCTRL_PIN(63, "H8"),
+};
+
+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 (IS_ERR(pctl))
+		pr_err("could not register foo pin driver\n");
+}
+
+Pins usually have fancier names than this. You can find these in the dataheet
+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
+
+
+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 GPIO pins.
+
+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 modeled 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,
+	.npins = 16,
+	.gc = &chip_a;
+};
+
+static struct pinctrl_gpio_range gpio_range_a = {
+	.name = "chip b",
+	.id = 0,
+	.base = 48,
+	.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. They are mapped in
+the global GPIO pin space at:
+
+chip a: [32 .. 47]
+chip b: [48 .. 55]
+
+When GPIO-specific functions in the pin control subsystem are called, these
+ranges will be used to look up the apropriate 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 subtract the range's .base offset from the passed
+in gpio pin number, and pass that on to the pin control driver, so the driver
+will get an offset 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.
+
+For example: if a user issues pinctrl_gpio_set_foo(50), the pin control
+subsystem will find that the second range on this pin controller matches,
+subtract the base 48 and call the
+pinctrl_driver_gpio_set_foo(pinctrl, range, 2) where the latter function has
+this signature:
+
+int pinctrl_driver_gpio_set_foo(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev,
+    struct pinctrl_gpio_range *rangeid,
+    unsigned offset);
+
+Now the driver knows that we want to do some GPIO-specific operation on the
+second GPIO range handled by "chip b", at offset 2 in that specific range.
+
+(If the GPIO subsystem is ever refactored to use a local per-GPIO controller
+pin space, this mapping will need to be augmented accordingly.)
+
+
+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 thru 63 assigned to
+its physical pins. It will name the pins { A1, A2, A3 ... H6, H7, H8 } using
+pinctrl_register_pins_[sparse|dense]() 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 botton 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, two for spi and one for i2c.
+
+- 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.
+
+- POSITIONS are applicable to each function, so if spi0 can appear on three
+  different sets of pins, say {0, 1}, {4, 5} and {12, 13} these three
+  positions are numbered 0, 1, 2.
+
+- FUNCTIONS + POSITION determine a certain function for a certain set of pins.
+  The knowledge of the functions and positions and it's machine-specific
+  particulars is 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) or the list of pins belonging to a certain
+  function selector + position.
+
+- FUNCTIONS with POSITIONs 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 position thus uniquely identify
+  the set of pins to be used by a certain device.
+
+  In the example case we can define that this particular machine shall
+  use device spi0 with pinmux function fspi0 position 0 and i2c0 on function
+  fi2c0  position 1, on the primary pin controller, we get quadruple mappings
+  like these:
+  { {spi0, pinctrl0, fspi0, 0}, {i2c0, pinctrl0, fi2c0, 1} }
+
+- FUNCTIONS on a certain POSITION 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 possible function maps to pins 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 pins 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.
+
+
+Pinmux drivers
+==============
+
+It is the responsibility of the pinmux driver to determine whether or not
+the requested function can actually be enabled, and in that case poke the
+hardware so that this happens.
+
+The driver will for all calls be provided an offset pin number into its own
+pin range. If you have 2 chips with 8x8 pins, the first chips pins will have
+numbers 0 thru 63 and the second one pins 64 thru 127, but the driver for the
+second chip will be passed numbers in the range 0 thru 63 anyway, base offset
+subtracted.
+
+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 on a certain position
+would works something like this:
+
+#include <linux/pinctrl/pinmux.h>
+
+struct foo_pmx_position {

+	.disable = foo_disable,
+};
+
+/* Pinmux operations are handled by some pin controller */
+static struct pinctrl_desc foo_desc = {
+	...
+	.pmxops = pmxops,
+};
+
+Now the able reader will say: "wait - the driver needs to make sure it
+can set this and that bit at the same time, because else it will collide
+and wreak havoc in my electronics, and make sure noone else is using the
+other setting that it's incompatible with".
+
+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.
+
+The above functions except .list_positions are mandatory to implement for
+a pinmux driver. For hardware where each function can only exist in one
+position, you can omit this functions, and position 0 will be passed to all
+calls.
+
+
+Pinmux interaction with the GPIO subsystem
+==========================================
+
+The function list could become long, especially if you can convert every
+individual pin into a GPIO pin independent of any other pins, then your
+function array can become 64 entries for each GPIO setting and then the
+device functions. For this reason there is an additional function you
+can implement to enable only GPIO on an individual pin: pinmux_request_gpio()
+and pinmux_free_gpio().
+
+These functions use the .gpio_base and .gpio_pins members of the pin
+controller as described above for the pin controller, to look up the target
+pin controller.
+
+
+Pinmux 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 pinmux config 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 struct pinmux_map pmx_mapping[] = {
+	{
+		.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0",
+		.function = "spi0",
+		.position = 1,
+		.dev_name = "foo-spi.0",
+	},
+	{
+		.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0",
+		.function = "i2c0",
+		.position = 0,
+		.dev_name = "foo-i2c.0",
+	},
+	{
+		.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0",
+		.function = "mmc0",
+		.position = 1,
+		.dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
+	},
+};
+
+As you can see we may have several pin controllers on the system and thus
+we need to specify which one of them that contain the functions we wish
+to map. The map can also use struct device * directly, so there is no
+inherent need to use strings to specify .dev_name or .ctrl_dev_name, these
+are for the situation where you do not have a handle to the struct device *,
+for example if they are not yet instantiated or cumbersome to obtain.
+
+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.0 and position
+0 for mapping, for example:
+
+static struct pinmux_map pmx_mapping[] = {
+       PINMUX_MAP_PRIMARY("i2c0", "foo-i2c.0"),
+};
+
+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.
+You register this pinmux mapping to the pinmux subsystem by simply:
+
+       ret = pinmux_register_mappings(&pmx_mapping, ARRAY_SIZE(pmx_mapping));
+
+
+Pinmux requests from drivers
+============================
+
+A driver may request a certain mux to be activated, usually just the default
+mux like this:
+
+#include <linux/pinctrl/pinmux.h>
+
+struct foo_state {
+       struct pinmux *pmx;
+       ...
+};
+
+foo_probe()
+{
+	/* Allocate a state holder named "state" etc */
+	struct pinmux pmx;
+
+	pmx = pinmux_get(&device, NULL);
+	if IS_ERR(pmx)
+		return PTR_ERR(pmx);
+	pinmux_enable(pmx);
+
+	state->pmx = pmx;
+}
+
+foo_remove()
+{
+	pinmux_disable(state->pmx);
+	pinmux_put(state->pmx);
+}
+
+If you want to grab a specific mux mapping and not just the first one found for
+this device you can specify a specific mapping name, for example in the above
+example the second i2c0 setting: pinmux_get(&device, "spi0-pos-B");
+
+This get/enable/disable/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 get/enable respective disable/put is as follows:
+
+- pinmux_get() is called in process context to reserve the pins affected with
+  a certain mapping and set up the pinmux core and the driver. It will allocate
+  a struct from the kernel memory to hold the pinmux state.
+
+- pinmux_enable()/pinmux_disable() is quick and can be called from fastpath
+  (irq context) when you quickly want to set up/tear down the hardware muxing
+  when running a device driver. Usually it will just poke some values into a
+  register.
+
+- pinmux_disable() is called in process context to tear down the pin requests
+  and release the state holder struct for the mux setting.
+
+Usually the pinmux 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 pinmux_get() call,
+after this you should be able to see this in the debugfs listing of all pins.
+
+
+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 positions in the mapping
+to achieve this:
+
+static struct pinmux_map pmx_mapping[] = {
+	{
+		.name = "spi0-pos-A",
+		.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0",
+		.function = "spi0",
+		.position = 0,
+		.dev_name = "foo-spi.0",
+	},
+	{
+		.name = "spi0-pos-B",
+		.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0",
+		.function = "spi0",
+		.position = 1,
+		.dev_name = "foo-spi.0",
+	},
+	...
+};
+
+This snippet first muxes the function in position A, enables it, disables
+and releases it, and muxes it in on position B:
+
+foo_switch()
+{
+	struct pinmux pmx;
+
+	/* Enable on position A */
+	pmx = pinmux_get(&device, "spi0-pos-A");
+	if IS_ERR(pmx)
+		return PTR_ERR(pmx);
+	pinmux_enable(pmx);
+
+	/* This releases the pins again */
+	pinmux_disable(pmx);
+	pinmux_put(pmx);
+
+	/* Enable on position B */
+	pmx = pinmux_get(&device, "spi0-pos-B");
+	if IS_ERR(pmx)
+		return PTR_ERR(pmx);
+	pinmux_enable(pmx);
+	...
+}
+
+The above has to be done from process context.
