IOMUX_CONFIG_GPIO may be used together with IOMUX_CONFIG_SION, so don't break
the iomux function value set to the register in this case.

Define the value of IOMUX_CONFIG_GPIO in a way showing that it should have
only 1 bit set.

Hi Benoît,

to my understanding. The SION bit is used to set a predefined function,
independently from the value of the iomux. So I have the choice to set
the SION bit or I select the function I want, including GPIO, clearing
the SION bit, and setting optionally the daisy chain register if the
GPIO requires.

So why should we use both SION and GPIO ?

Regards,
Stefano

No. See "A.3.2 SW Loopback through SION Bit" and "Figure A-3. IOMUX Cell Block
Diagram" in the i.MX51 RM.

Whether SION is set or not, the selected IOMUX function will drive the pin.

If SION is cleared, the input from the pin will be either disabled or go to the
selected IOMUX function depending on the activation of the input by this
function.

If SION is set, the input from the pin is always enabled and goes to all IOMUX
alternate functions at once (if their input connection to this pin is activated
through the daisy chain).

So SION does not invalidate the function bit-field.

Then, you could wonder what kind of real life use case could be useful with both
SION and GPIO set. This could be used for instance as a workaround to an erratum
if an IOMUX function does not drive its output properly, but it needs to read
back the pin status to work fine. Thus, the GPIO function output could be used
to drive the pin, with SION set so that the flawed IOMUX function can still
probe the pin and function properly internally. Note that it's only a
theoretical example; I don't remember such an erratum.

Best regards,
Benoît

And this is clear..

and also thi point is clear.

but I am asking myself why I should do this, that is the function drive
the pin, using the input as source for another funtion.

This is exactly the point !

I am really impressed about your attention reading the manuals, but we
have the rule in u-boot that we add code / feature when we have a use
case (the same is in kernel). At the moment, it is pure theory, and
nobody will use it. We will reconsider this patch when its introduction
will be required to fix a SOC bug, if any.

Sure, but this is neither new code nor a new feature. It is only a fix that
makes sure that the code won't break any potential use case in the future. This
is weird to keep a known issue in the code until someone gets in trouble because
of it and hence wastes time.

But anyway, this file will probably disappear in the near future because of the
new pin definitions, so that won't make a big difference.

Best regards,
Benoît
