This patch adds the device tree bindings for the Spreadtrum EIC
controller. The EIC can be recognized as one special type of GPIO,
which can only be used as input.

Why a gpio controller? Do you read the input pin state?

The example doesn't seem to match your description of the block or 
blocks. You talk about a bunch of sub modules and then there's just this 
one node?

Usually they are all synthesized into the silicon, but not always. For
our PMIC EIC, we only have one debounce EIC.

I did not list latch, async, and sync EIC. They are different
sub-modules and they can be listed at the same time. I will add other
device nodes in next version. Thanks for your comments.

We always regard it as GPIO except it only can be used as input mode.
Like debounce eic, we still need request it before using it.

I just list one as one example, and I will list all of them in next

PMIC EIC is designed differently, it only has one group and it can
support maximum 16 EICs. I can not say why, but that is what we
design.

Like I said, in some situation, we can only pass the group number as parameter.

I also thought about one new driver, but they are all named EIC and
have the same registers description, so ...

But if you have strong opinion to split the PMIC debounce EIC into one
new driver, I will do that.

Yes, will do.

Yes, we have debounce EIC, this type EIC need be requested firstly and
can be read. Only latch EIC can not be read. So I still think put them
in drivers/gpio/* is more suitable, they have most of GPIO features
except they can only be used as input mode.

Only debounce EICs are implemented the set_config() intrface.

No, only for debounce EIC.

But we have lots of GPIO features, and we need request debounce EIC
firstly, and we can read EIC except latch EIC. Moreover we use EIC to
be gpio-keys, if we implement them in drivers/irqchip, it will be hard
to use for other drivers. Please think about our special GPIOs (EIC).
Thanks.

+Spreadtrum EIC controller bindings
+
+The EIC is the abbreviation of external interrupt controller, which
+is only can be used as input mode. The EIC controller includes 4
+sub-modules: EIC-Debounce, EIC-Latch, EIC-Async, EIC-Sync.
+
+The EIC-debounce sub-module provides up to 8 source input signal
+connection. A debounce machanism is used to capture input signal's
+stable status (ms grade) and a single-trigger mechanism is introduced
+into this sub-module to enhance the input event detection reliability.
+In addition, this sub-module's clock can be shut-off automatically to
+reduce power dissipation. The debounce range is from 1ms to 4s with
+the step of 1ms. If the input signal is shorter than 1ms, it will be
+omitted as this sub-module.
+
+The EIC-latch sub-module is used to latch some special input signal
+and send interrupts to MCU core, and it can provide up to 8 latch
+source input signal connection.
+
+The EIC-async sub-module uses 32k clock to capture short signal (us
+grade) to generate interrupt to MCU by level or edge trigger.
+
+The EIC-sync is similar with GPIO's input function.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be one of the following:
+  "sprd,sc9860-eic-debounce",
+  "sprd,sc9860-eic-latch",
+  "sprd,sc9860-eic-async",
+  "sprd,sc9860-eic-sync",
+  "sprd,sc27xx-eic-debounce".
+- reg: Define the base and range of the I/O address space containing
+  the GPIO controller registers.
+- gpio-controller: Marks the device node as a GPIO controller.
+- #gpio-cells: Should be <2>. The first cell is the gpio number and
+  the second cell is used to specify optional parameters.
+- interrupt-controller: Marks the device node as an interrupt controller.
+- #interrupt-cells: Should be <2>. Specifies the number of cells needed
+  to encode interrupt source.
+- interrupts: Should be the port interrupt shared by all the gpios.
+
+Example:
+	eic_debounce: eic@40210000 {
+		compatible = "sprd,sc9860-eic-debounce";
+		reg = <0 0x40210000 0 0x80>;
+		gpio-controller;
+		#gpio-cells = <2>;
+		interrupt-controller;
+		#interrupt-cells = <2>;
+		interrupts = <GIC_SPI 52 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+	};
