.Dt "FDT_PINCTRL" 4
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm fdt_pinctrl
.Nd FDT I/O pin multiplexing support
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device fdt_pinctrl"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Pin multiplexing is a technology used to re-purpose a single
physical connection (depending on chip packaging it may be
pin, ball, or pad) by routing its signal to any one of several
different SoC internal devices.
For example, based on the actual device design, a single SoC chip
pin might perform any of these roles: SPI clock, I2C
data, GPIO pin, or PWM signal.
Function selection is performed by the pinmux controller, a SoC
hardware block which is usually controlled by a set of registers.
Pinmux controller capabilities and register format depend
on the actual hardware implementation.
.Pp
On
.Xr fdt 4
based systems, the pinmux controller is represented by a node in
the device tree.
It may have any number of child nodes representing pin
configuration groups.
Properties of such nodes are hardware-specific and handled
by individual pinctrl drivers.
.Ss Example 1
Pinmux controller device tree node
.Bd -literal
pinctrl@7e220000 {
compatible = "vndr,soc1715-pinctrl";
reg = <0x7e220000 0x100>
spi0_pins: spi0 {
vndr,pins = <11 12>
vndr,functions = <ALT0 ALT5>
}
i2c0_pins: i2c0 {
...
}
}
.Ed
.Pp
Client devices are hardware devices that require certain pin
configurations to function properly.
Depending on the state the device is in (active, idle) it might
require different pin configurations.
Each configuration is described by setting the pinctrl-N
property to the list of phandles pointing to specific child
nodes of the pinmux controller node.
N is an integer value starting with 0 and incremented by 1
for every new set of pin configurations.
pinctrl-0 is a default configuration that is applied in the
.Xr fdt_pinctrl_configure_tree 9
call.
In addition to referring to pin configurations by index, they
can be referred to by name if the pinctrl-names property is set.
The value of pinctrl-names is a list of strings with names for
each pinctrl-N property.
Client devices can request specific configuration using
.Xr fdt_pinctrl_configure 9
and
.Xr fdt_pinctrl_configure_by_name 9 .
.Ss Example 2
.Bd -literal
backlight@7f000000 {
compatible = "vndr,vndr-bl"
reg = <0x7f000000 0x20>
...
pinctrl-name = "active", "idle"
pinctrl-0 = <&backlight_active_pins>
pinctrl-1 = <&backlight_idle_pins>
}
.Ed
.Pp
The pinctrl driver should implement the FDT_PINCTRL_CONFIGURE
method, register itself as a pin configuration handler by
calling fdt_pinctrl_register function, and call
.Xr fdt_pinctrl_configure_tree 9
to configure pins for all enabled devices (devices where
the "status" property is not set to "disabled").
