First of all, I've based this on the patches sent by Jonas Gorski back in
2016:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-gpio/msg15983.html
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-gpio/patch/1471604025-21575-2-git-send-email-jonas.gorski@gmail.com/

I've tried to address all coments from Linus Walleij, but I know that
this may still need some other modifications

This patchset adds appropriate binding documentation and drivers for
pin controller cores found in the BCM63XX MIPS SoCs currently supported.

While the GPIO part is always the same, the pinmux part varies quite a
lot between different SoCs. Sometimes they have defined groups which
can be muxed into different functions, sometimes each function has a
different group. Sometimes you can mux individual pins. Often it is a
combination of single pins and groups.

Some core versions require the GPIO direction to be set according to the
function, most do not. Sometimes the mux register(s) contain bits for
unrelated other functions.

v7: introduce changes suggested by Rob Herring.
v6: introduce changes suggested by Rob Herring and Andy Shevchenko.
v5: introduce changes suggested by Andy Shevchenko.
v4: fix gpiochip_irqchip_add_domain(), remove IRQ Kconfig selections and add
 missing of_node_put().
v3: introduce new files for shared code and add more changes suggested by
 Linus Walleij. Also add a new patch needed for properly parsing gpio-ranges.
v2: introduce changes suggested by Linus Walleij and remove interrupts
 - In order to use GPIO_REGMAP, the need to get gpio_chip from gpio_regmap
 and use it for pinctrl_add_gpio_range() and gpio_chip.direction_input()
 and gpio_chip.direction_output().

If Rob is happy with the bindings like this (GPIO as parallel node rathern
than subnode) I am ready to merge this.

As long as the bindings are OK I am pretty sure any remaining nits can
be fixed in-tree.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

'-pins$' is equivalent.

You don't need this if/then. This should be:

'-pins$':
  type: object
  $ref: pinmux-node.yaml#

  additionalProperties: false
  properties:
    ...

Drop this as you need the $ref up a level.

Perhaps a blurb about other registers in this block. From the
registers, it looked like LED and PHY control at least.

I appreciate that, but I’m having a hard time in understanding what Rob wants and since there are no examples available on most of the stuff he’s requesting this is really frustrating...

If I add "additionalProperties: false" I get the following error:

I am sorry that the situation can be stressful.

This is not Rob's fault, at least it's also mine.

The real problem we have is lack of hardware people
reviewing hardware descriptions, to put it simple.
As reviewers we get a bit confused, then we try to make
a mind map of the hardware as most driver developers do,
but as we are not chip designers we will make
mistakes and get confused and there will be a bit
of back-and-forth and inconsistencies.

The bindings have very high ambitions (to describe all
hardware) but it's a bit like food: the less you know
about how it's produced, the better the taste.
In fact it is a best effort and involves a bit of guesswork
and group effort and you are part of the group effort
now :)

Yours,
Linus Walleij
