Add rockchip,io-domains property to the Rockchip pinctrl driver. This
list of phandles points to the IO domain device(s) the pins of the
pinctrl driver are supplied from.

Also a rockchip,io-domain-boot-on property is added to pin groups
which can be used for pin groups which themselves are needed to access
the regulators an IO domain is driven from.

Is there an actual need for multiple IO devices with multiple pinctrl 
blocks? If not, you don't need a property, just lookup the IO domain 
node by compatible.

Yes. There can be multiple IO domain devices on Rockchip SoCs and we 
typically have only one pinctrl controller. Each pinctrl "pin" (for a 
lack of the appropriate term to use here) belongs to one domain of one 
of the IO domain controller/device.

However what I don't like here is that we do not explicit this link 
between the pinctrl "pin" and the IO domain controller it belongs to 
(even less so on which domain of the IO domain controller, which to be 
fair we do not represent in the DT at the moment except through a 
phandle property in the IO domain controller, c.f. 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/rockchip-io-domain.yaml#L84).

Cheers,
Quentin

Oh, is that a thing on newer SoCs? At least in the RK3399 TRM the only 
I/O-domain-related control I can find is the 1.8V/3.0V logic level 
threshold in GRF_IO_VSEL (plus the one outlier in PMUGRF_SOC_CON0).

...which is clearly a property of the regulator, not of its consumers ;)

However it's also not a meaningful state in this context anyway, since 
if the supply was actually off, and thus we were unable to communicate 
with the PMIC to turn it on... oh dear.

Cheers,
Robin.

Indeed it was more about the definition itself - an extra property isn't 
*needed* to break the cycle since the cycle is already fully described 
in DT, so anyone who can parse parents and phandles already has 
sufficient information to detect it and break it at any point they 
choose. However, as mentioned subsequently, breaking the cycle alone 
isn't enough to guarantee that things will actually work in general.

AFAICS what we fundamentally need to know is the initial voltage of the 
supply regulator, to be able to short-circuit requiring the I/O domain 
in order to query it from the regulator itself, and instead just 
initialise the I/O domain directly. However that would still represent a 
bunch of fiddly extra DT parsing, so for practical purposes it seems 
reasonable to then short-cut that into directly describing the initial 
setting of the I/O domain on the node itself, such that the consumer of 
the binding can easily handle it all in a self-contained manner.

Cheers,
Robin

I didn't realize that it's new, the RK3568 is the first Rockchip SoC I
work on, but yes, on RK3568 we have three bits per domain. One bit is to
enable 1.8V, one to enable 2.5V and one for 3.3V. I would assume that
clearing all bits means disable, and whatever strange things may happen
when multiple bits are set...
