From: Lad Prabhakar <[email protected]>

Hi All,

This patch series includes changes to RZ/G2UL SMARC SoM and carrier board
DTS/I so that it can be re-used by RZ/Five SMARC EVK. It does not have any
functional changes.

Cheers,

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] arm64: dts: renesas: rzg2ul-smarc: Include SoM DTSI into board DTS

From: Lad Prabhakar <[email protected]>

Move including the rzg2ul-smarc-som.dtsi from the carrier board
rzg2ul-smarc.dtsi to the actual RZ/G2UL SMARC EVK board dts
r9a07g043u11-smarc.dts. Also move the SW_SW0_DEV_SEL and
SW_ET0_EN_N macros to board dts as they are used by SoM and carrier
board DTS/I.

This is in preparation of re-using the SoM and carrier board DTSIs
for RZ/Five SMARC EVK.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] arm64: dts: renesas: rzg2ul-smarc: Add /omit-if-no-ref/ to pinmux

From: Lad Prabhakar <[email protected]>

In preparation to re-use the RZ/G2UL SMARC SoM and carrier DTS/I with the
RZ/Five add /omit-if-no-ref/ keyword to pinmux entries as the support for
RZ/Five SMARC EVK will be gradually added.

Once we have full blown support for RZ/Five SMARC EVK we can get rid of
the /omit-if-no-ref/ keyword.

i.e. will queue in renesas-devel for v6.1.

For consistency, you may want to do the same with rzg2lc-smarc-som.dtsi.

Thanks for your patch!

I finally had a deeper look at this...

Why do you want to disable these nodes? While they are indeed not
used yet on RZ/Five, they are valid hardware descriptions for the
RZ/Five SMARC EVK, and their presence doesn't harm anything.

I do see a valid use case for marking pin control subnodes with
/omit-if-no-ref/: you can provide all possible configurations as a
convenience for the user, so the user no longer has to look up the
numeric parameters of the RZG2L_PORT_PINMUX() macros.
But IMHO those would belong in the SoC-specific .dtsi, not in a
board .dtsi. See e.g. the massive use of /omit-if-no-ref/ in sunxi
and rockchip .dtsi files.

Am I missing something?

My intention was to keep the DTB as minimal as possible so that it
includes just the required pinmuxes which were enabled on the RZ/Five.
For example [0], [1] we do delete the pinctrl for the nodes which are
marked as disabled. Do you think we should drop it?

But now that things are falling in place for RZ/Five we can ignore this patch.

You mean

/delete-property/ pinctrl-0;
/delete-property/ pinctrl-names;

?
These do not delete pinctrl subnodes, but pinctrl properties in disabled
device nodes pointing to pinctrl subnodes. The actual pinctrl subnodes
are still present.
