As pointed out by Bartosz you cannot just mechanically switch the base to -1. You also need to convince us that this doesn't break any systems, and if it does, fix them so they don't break before submitting this patch. Yours, Linus Walleij

I think it's hard to tell if something breaks, this driver is used in a lot of boards. AFAIR some people are relying on the assumption of fixed order. Using dynamic allocation this not ensured. A possible fix is to use aliases [1]. Best regards, Alexander [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230215092421.143199-1-alexander.stein@ew.tq-group.com/T/#u

It looks like any boardfiles using gpio-mxc have been eliminated so this driver is now only used in device tree-boots? Right? Then I feel a lot better about it.

IMO, this should not be merged. I would hate to do a kernel update and see the kernel toggle some unrelated GPIO, because probe order changes. This will eventually happen to somebody and if they're unlucky, it will break something. For systems, where the order was never fixed, I agree it's on them, but for i.MX, it has been fixed since inception AFAIK and I fail to see what strong reason there is to justify breaking their setups in such a manner. Yes, the sysfs interface will eventually go away and fixed numbering with it but that has been announced long in advance and when that happens, updated systems with legacy scripts will cease to do GPIO until fixed and not essentially toggling GPIOs at random.
