Hi Linus, I think it would be better to take it through the Marvell tree of Jason Cooper. It is only for Marvell SoCs anyway. >> +uart1: serial@12100 { >> + compatible = "ns16550a"; >> + reg = <0x12100 0x100>; >> + reg-shift = <2>; >> + interrupts = <7>; >> + clock-frequency = <166666667>; > > It's got nothing to do with this patch, but getting a clock frequency > out of the DT instead of getting it from the clk_get_rate(clk) and > the clock tree seems absurd... (But maybe this platform does not > even have a clk implementation?) It's of_serial's implementation. I patched that once for getting frequency out of "clocks" property but then I got busy with porting mach-dove and pinctrl.. Marvell SoCs do have a clk implementation and as soon as of_serial can handle "clocks" property it will be used for sure. I can remove "clock-frequency" from the example anyway as it is not really part of pinctrl binding documentation. > (...) >> +#include > > Why are you including this header? > (There are valid reasons, state them in a comment, > e.g. /* to access pinctrl_gpio* in GPIO portions */) I guess it was a left-over from my experiments with default pinmux configuration until you pointed me to the correct way of having the pinctrl itself hog muxes. I'll remove that include. >> +struct mvebu_pinctrl { >> + struct device *dev; >> + struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev; >> + struct pinctrl_desc desc; >> + void __iomem *base; >> + struct mvebu_pinctrl_group *groups; >> + unsigned num_groups; >> + struct mvebu_pinctrl_function *functions; >> + unsigned num_functions; >> + unsigned variant; >> +}; > > There is some other "variant" field elsewhere that is > a u8, is this correct? In this and the other case, should > this "variant" rather be an enum? I'll review the variant types but inside pinctrl-mvebu variant is used as a bit mask to distinguish different variants. Anyway, they should always be the same size. >> +static int mvebu_common_mpp_get(struct mvebu_pinctrl *pctl, >> + struct mvebu_pinctrl_group *grp, >> + unsigned long *config) >> +{ >> + unsigned pin = grp->gid; >> + unsigned off = (pin / 8) * 4; >> + unsigned shift = (pin % 8) * 4; > > Some magic numbers here.

Hmm, I guess not as I thought I've read not to use devm_kfree when you allocate _and_ free stuff on runtime without removing the device itself, right? >> diff --git a/drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-mvebu.h >> b/drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-mvebu.h > (...) >> +/* > > Kerneldoc begins with /** have you really tested to generate > kerneldoc? Nope, I wasn't even aware of that, sorry. I just copied it over from some other pinctrl include. I'll check for compatibility with kerneldoc. >> +struct mvebu_mpp_ctrl { >> + const char *name; >> + u8 pid; >> + u8 npins; > > So, there will never be > 256 pins on a Marvell platform? Well, with all current platforms we are well below 100. I guess 256 max (muxable) pins will be enough. >> + * struct mvebu_mpp_ctrl_setting - describe a mpp ctrl setting >> + * @val: ctrl setting value > > It is not obvious to me what this means, it it possible to elaborate > on how this member is defined and used?

Ok. >> +#define MVEBU_SETTING_GPO (1 << 0) >> +#define MVEBU_SETTING_GPI (1 << 1) > > So these are the possible flags I suspect. (Looking good.) Yes, some mpp pins on Marvell SoCs are out-only, while normally they are in-out. I haven't seen in-only yet but better to have the flags ready if someone stumbles upon one. >> +#if defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) >> +#define MPP_VAR_FUNCTION(_val, _name, _subname, _mask) \ >> + _MPP_VAR_FUNCTION(_val, _name, _subname, _mask) >> +#else >> +#define MPP_VAR_FUNCTION(_val, _name, _subname, _mask) \ >> + _MPP_VAR_FUNCTION(_val, _name, NULL, _mask) >> +#endif > > This looks a bit kludgy. Is the purpose to save memory > if debugfs is not used? Yes, that was the intention. Subnames are not used by pinctrl at all, other for debugfs files. Although, there are some pins that have two different settings for the same device name, e.g. sata(prsnt) and sata(act), I don't think it is a good idea to use the subname but have sata(prsnt) and sata-1(act) instead. Otherwise, you'll always have to look up the specific function for each pin. OTOH, I could check for "sata" and take the subname into account when it is given in marvell,function. But it will not help reducing the required pinmux descriptions in DT because you still have to distinguish both and there are only 2 out of ~50 groups that have them for Dove. > This looks good overall. Thanks! In some internal review with Andrew I also added a spinlock to mvebu_pinconf_get/_set that will protect all calls to generic and specific _get/_set register accesses. Moreover, I replaced clk_get_sys in pinctrl-dove with the devm_ counterpart and removed the explicit clk_put.
