Add pinmux support for GPIO for Vybrid (vf610) IOMUX controller.
This is needed since direction configuration is not part of the
GPIO module in Vybrid.

Isn't this setup redundant at all, since imx_pmx_enable() already takes
care of setting mux register including GPIO mode?

This is all about Output Buffer Enable (OBE) bit.  What about Input
Buffer Enable (IBE) bit?  Don't we need to set or clear it as per GPIO
direction as well?

If this is always true, why don't we just use flag SHARE_MUX_CONF_REG
and save GPIO_CONTROL?  This check doesn't make too much sense to me if
we choose to have a new flag for GPIO setup.  IMO, we should probably
either drop the GPIO_CONTROL flag or the check.

Yes currently this is redundant, when a pinmux is actually applied. What
is the expected behaviour? Is a explicit pinmux necessary before we can
use GPIO? If not, maybe it would make more sense to use imx_pmx_enable
here to write all pinctrl settings?

The leave the input buffer doesn't hurt, it allows to read back the
value which is actually "on the wire". If a pin is hard on GND, one can
actually see that.

Well, this is always true because the vf610 driver configures both
configs. But when somebody accidentally enables GPIO_CONFIG without
understanding the implications... This was more meant like "don't try to
use the GPIO_CONTROL just like that, its Vybird specific".

But I'm ok to remove this runtime check, maybe a comment describing the
flags is more appropriate..?

Okay, as per Documentation/pinctrl.txt, it's required that GPIO and
PINCTRL can be used as orthogonal.  That said, your code does the right
thing.  Sorry for the noisy comment.

But it will become a blocker if some day an i.MX controller (no flag
SHARE_MUX_CONF_REG) needs to use GPIO_CONFIG.

I'm happy you came up with this, since its the thing which I'm must
unsure whether this is right.

Right now, if you just export a random pin (which has no pinmux
configured in dt), you get an error since this function fails (mux_reg
== -1). But I guess we can't avoid it, we need the pinctrl framework to
have a valid setting before we fiddle around with the pad.

But now, if there is a pinmux configuration in dt, but its not applied
(using pinctrl-0 = ...), the export will succeed, however the GPIO will
not really be usable since no sane pad configuration is not applied
(input/output buffer disabled, no drive-strength)... So we might well
just don't change the mux here too.

IMHO, fully orthogonal is not possible, since on Vybrid those two depend
on each other. But in order to make it "more orthogonal", we maybe
should force applying the full configuration in
imx_pmx_gpio_request_enable (e.g. drive strenght etc), rather then only
mux the pad to to GPIO...

What do you think?

The muxing must have been done, that is correct.  However, this could be
by a boot loader, by some other API, etc.  People maybe concerned about
Linux affecting 'CAN' (or some 'mission critical' pins) muxing for
instance, but want the A5 to handle GPIO.

If somewhere, somehow the pin was muxed properly and the GPIO code still
works, I believe this is a win.  I see that this flexibility makes it
more difficult to get something that just works.  I think the device
trees take care of this for normal users.  It might be appropriate to
add a DT node that sets 'GPIO_CONTROL' and put a note in the DT-GPIO
document, that pinctrl is needed for a normal case or if some external
muxing is used or not needed, then 'control=false' can be set (or
whatever good DT terminology)?  Then the 'GPIO_CONTROL' check would be
in the 'vf610_gpio_direction_input()' functions.  The 'pinctrl'
functions are currently compiled to stubs if that is configured out.

Then there is 'multi-machine' support with DT and compile time selects
with CONFIG_PINCTRL and I don't think there is a lot of additional code
or confusion?

Fwiw,
Bill Pringlemeir.

Currently pinctrl is not optional for Vybrid (Kconfig mandates pinctrl
by "select PINCTRL_VF610").

IMHO there is no real value having a way to mark a pin as "muxed
externally" (control=false). If we use a pin, we should configure and
mux that properly in Linux, and if we don't have valid configuration/mux
information, we should not touch that pin. 

In v2 of this patchset, the GPIO code only worked when there _is_ a
pinctrl entry for that GPIO pin in the DT. This is because I need the
register offset, which is provided by the entry itself. But the pad
configuration is another point, which I did not consider in v2. But in
v3, the GPIO code also writes the pad control.

So it was never possible to just use the GPIO driver for any pin, even
that pin was correctly muxed and configured externally. And, especially
on Vybrid, I think this is a good thing, since the pin could be used by
the M4 core. One has to have at least a proper entry in the device tree.
And in v3, I also check that this entry represents a valid GPIO mux
(VF610_PAD_*GPIO*).

IMHO with v3 we have a quite good and safe solution:
- Using pins as GPIO needs a valid DT entry
- Using that pin only requires exporting the pin, all
configuration/muxing get applied by imx_pmx_gpio_request_enable

I don't understand that.

I didn't mean per-pin, I meant for the GPIO controller as a whole.  I
was also looking at a IOMUX controlled by the M4 and/or a boot loader.
I agree it is not possible with the mainline.  This just makes it even
less possible.  This is great if we know we are going that route.

I was a little concerned about this as the pin may have pull-ups and
pull-downs.  We would not want to dynamically change this.  However, I
don't fully understand this path.

I was thinking of a modified Vybrid which would allow us to not select
PINCTRL.  As per Shawn's comment, it is suppose to be
optional/orthogonal to the GPIO controller.  If someone made the change
to not select PINCTRL_VF610, then the GPIO code calls would currently
compile to stubs.  To get the same things with a multi-machine
(Vybrid/Imx with/without pinctrl), then you could use the DT property
which would avoid the pinctrl calls.

The more required modules we require for each feature, the harder it is
to partition the AIPS peripherals between cores.  It sort of makes the
mainline Linux only useful for the VF5xx non-secure parts.

I guess another option is to make another pinctrl module for the Vybrid
which uses some inter-core communications to alter the MUX
configuration.  This makes sense for the pinctrl and the CCM/clock
modules.  Each and every driver depends on them, so it is probably good
for sanity to require that Linux has some version of these modules.  If
the 'M4' was to control the pins and/or clock, then some other modules
could be written that makes some calls to that CPU (or world).

For other AIPS peripherals, it would be nice if they could be either
configured out and/or set to disabled by the device tree.

Bill Pringlemeir.

Ok, but this patch doesn't make it less possible then before: You can
disable the GPIO driver or disable all gpio device tree entries.

Now I understand, you mean a kernel with PINCTRL support but having an
option to still disable the pinctrl functionality for Vybrids GPIOs.

I think if you descide to use a pin as GPIO from Linux on A5, you also
want that pin to be "pinctrl"ed by Linux. I don't see a reason why you
want a pin configured by something else (bootloader or firmware on M4),
but then use that same pin as GPIO from Linux. IMHO, it's good to get
this as a package (GPIO which does pinctrl).

In the IOMUXC module each pin has its own register, so here it's ok to
have multiple sytems fiddling with it, as long as the systems are not
touching the same pins at the same time.

I agree, having the option to partition AIPS peripherals is useful,
especially on Vybrid (and i.MX6SX). And this is perfectly possible with
device tree. Just disable the gpio device tree sections (which are
compatible = "fsl,vf610-gpio") which you don't plan to use on Linux.
Linux creates 5 instances of the driver when all 5 gpio device tree
entries are active. However, you can create a board file with only one
gpio section, and you get only one instance of the driver which takes
care of the associated 32 pins. Or even no gpio device tree sections at
all, and you have the same situation before this driver was merged...
However, sub GPIO/PORT bank partitioning is not possible... The PORT and
GPIO module have shared register for 32 pins, and some operation might
not be atomic, so locking would be required. Having two system accessing
the same PORT/GPIO bank would certainly impose problems, for instance
when handling a PORT interrupt.

I also have some M4 firmwares running (eCos, bare-metal), and usually we
just let them access the CCM in a "read-only" mode. It works fairly
well, however I agree this solution is not perfect. The hardware
designers gave us hardware semaphores and CPU to CPU interrupts, so we
could build a configuration interface (and maybe a resource allocation
as well) around this. This would then implicate an ABI, and this
certainly would need some time and discussion to make it good enough for
mainline, if possible at all.

Agreed, we should do this as much as possible for Vybrid.
