I was wondering if we can use the approach that ACPI chose for itself, i.e. the separate data that can be filled by the corresponding driver and then GPIO OF common code may use it. In that case each driver knows the exact list of compatible strings and associated quirks.

I actually deliverately chose the other way around, to centralize all quirks, so that drivers look nice and simple and the ugly historical errors of the device tree be hidden away in gpiolib-of.c.

This makes sense if and only if we may guarantee no quirks will appear in the future. So, it may be true for DT, but I'm quite skeptical about ACPI...

So, it may be true for DT, but I'm quite skeptical about ACPI... Right, the idea is to stop more idiomatic DT bindings from coming into existance by review and formal verification of the reviewed bindings by using YAML schemas. ACPI is somewhat lacking public review of "bindings" and DSDT tables, and I don't know if there is some counterpart to the schema validation, so that makes for more new bugs. But maybe ACPI has some tricks up its sleeve that I don't know about. To me it seems like bugs in ACPI are discovered by developers after the devices are already produced :/ There are bindings and device trees which lack public review too, most notably Apple Mac, so especially for them we are redefining new bindings and who knows, maybe Apple will pick them up eventually!

In preparation to converting several drivers to gpiod API, and to keep existing DTS working, this series adds additional quirks to locate gpio lines with legacy names. Additionally the quirk handling has been reworked (once again) to pull all simple renames (ones that do not involve change of indices or other complex manipulations) into a single quirk with a table containing transformations. This should make adding new quirks easier. When using legacy names gpiolib will emit a message to nudge users to update DTSes (when possible). Note that the last patch requires the following change from the OF tree: 88269151be67 ("of: base: make of_device_compatible_match() accept const device node") The change is also available in mainline - it has been merged in 6.1 merge window.
