Specifying GPIO information for devices
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
1) gpios property
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Nodes that makes use of GPIOs should specify them using one or more
|
|
properties, each containing a 'gpio-list':
|
|
|
|
gpio-list ::= <single-gpio> [gpio-list]
|
|
single-gpio ::= <gpio-phandle> <gpio-specifier>
|
|
gpio-phandle : phandle to gpio controller node
|
|
gpio-specifier : Array of #gpio-cells specifying specific gpio
|
|
(controller specific)
|
|
|
|
GPIO properties should be named "[<name>-]gpios", with <name> being the purpose
|
|
of this GPIO for the device. While a non-existent <name> is considered valid
|
|
for compatibility reasons (resolving to the "gpios" property), it is not allowed
|
|
for new bindings.
|
|
|
|
GPIO properties can contain one or more GPIO phandles, but only in exceptional
|
|
cases should they contain more than one. If your device uses several GPIOs with
|
|
distinct functions, reference each of them under its own property, giving it a
|
|
meaningful name. The only case where an array of GPIOs is accepted is when
|
|
several GPIOs serve the same function (e.g. a parallel data line).
|
|
|
|
The exact purpose of each gpios property must be documented in the device tree
|
|
binding of the device.
|
|
|
|
The following example could be used to describe GPIO pins used as device enable
|
|
and bit-banged data signals:
|
|
|
|
gpio1: gpio1 {
|
|
gpio-controller
|
|
#gpio-cells = <2>;
|
|
};
|
|
gpio2: gpio2 {
|
|
gpio-controller
|
|
#gpio-cells = <1>;
|
|
};
|
|
[...]
|
|
|
|
enable-gpios = <&gpio2 2>;
|
|
data-gpios = <&gpio1 12 0>,
|
|
<&gpio1 13 0>,
|
|
<&gpio1 14 0>,
|
|
<&gpio1 15 0>;
|
|
|
|
Note that gpio-specifier length is controller dependent. In the
|
|
above example, &gpio1 uses 2 cells to specify a gpio, while &gpio2
|
|
only uses one.
|
|
|
|
gpio-specifier may encode: bank, pin position inside the bank,
|
|
whether pin is open-drain and whether pin is logically inverted.
|
|
Exact meaning of each specifier cell is controller specific, and must
|
|
be documented in the device tree binding for the device. Use the macros
|
|
defined in include/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h whenever possible:
|
|
|
|
Example of a node using GPIOs:
|
|
|
|
node {
|
|
enable-gpios = <&qe_pio_e 18 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH is 0, so in this example gpio-specifier is "18 0" and encodes
|
|
GPIO pin number, and GPIO flags as accepted by the "qe_pio_e" gpio-controller.
|
|
|
|
1.1) GPIO specifier best practices
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
A gpio-specifier should contain a flag indicating the GPIO polarity; active-
|
|
high or active-low. If it does, the following best practices should be
|
|
followed:
|
|
|
|
The gpio-specifier's polarity flag should represent the physical level at the
|
|
GPIO controller that achieves (or represents, for inputs) a logically asserted
|
|
value at the device. The exact definition of logically asserted should be
|
|
defined by the binding for the device. If the board inverts the signal between
|
|
the GPIO controller and the device, then the gpio-specifier will represent the
|
|
opposite physical level than the signal at the device's pin.
|
|
|
|
When the device's signal polarity is configurable, the binding for the
|
|
device must either:
|
|
|
|
a) Define a single static polarity for the signal, with the expectation that
|
|
any software using that binding would statically program the device to use
|
|
that signal polarity.
|
|
|
|
The static choice of polarity may be either:
|
|
|
|
a1) (Preferred) Dictated by a binding-specific DT property.
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
a2) Defined statically by the DT binding itself.
|
|
|
|
In particular, the polarity cannot be derived from the gpio-specifier, since
|
|
that would prevent the DT from separately representing the two orthogonal
|
|
concepts of configurable signal polarity in the device, and possible board-
|
|
level signal inversion.
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
b) Pick a single option for device signal polarity, and document this choice
|
|
in the binding. The gpio-specifier should represent the polarity of the signal
|
|
(at the GPIO controller) assuming that the device is configured for this
|
|
particular signal polarity choice. If software chooses to program the device
|
|
to generate or receive a signal of the opposite polarity, software will be
|
|
responsible for correctly interpreting (inverting) the GPIO signal at the GPIO
|
|
controller.
|
|
|
|
2) gpio-controller nodes
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Every GPIO controller node must contain both an empty "gpio-controller"
|
|
property, and a #gpio-cells integer property, which indicates the number of
|
|
cells in a gpio-specifier.
|
|
|
|
Example of two SOC GPIO banks defined as gpio-controller nodes:
|
|
|
|
qe_pio_a: gpio-controller@1400 {
|
|
compatible = "fsl,qe-pario-bank-a", "fsl,qe-pario-bank";
|
|
reg = <0x1400 0x18>;
|
|
gpio-controller;
|
|
#gpio-cells = <2>;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
qe_pio_e: gpio-controller@1460 {
|
|
compatible = "fsl,qe-pario-bank-e", "fsl,qe-pario-bank";
|
|
reg = <0x1460 0x18>;
|
|
gpio-controller;
|
|
#gpio-cells = <2>;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
2.1) gpio- and pin-controller interaction
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Some or all of the GPIOs provided by a GPIO controller may be routed to pins
|
|
on the package via a pin controller. This allows muxing those pins between
|
|
GPIO and other functions.
|
|
|
|
It is useful to represent which GPIOs correspond to which pins on which pin
|
|
controllers. The gpio-ranges property described below represents this, and
|
|
contains information structures as follows:
|
|
|
|
gpio-range-list ::= <single-gpio-range> [gpio-range-list]
|
|
single-gpio-range ::= <numeric-gpio-range> | <named-gpio-range>
|
|
numeric-gpio-range ::=
|
|
<pinctrl-phandle> <gpio-base> <pinctrl-base> <count>
|
|
named-gpio-range ::= <pinctrl-phandle> <gpio-base> '<0 0>'
|
|
pinctrl-phandle : phandle to pin controller node
|
|
gpio-base : Base GPIO ID in the GPIO controller
|
|
pinctrl-base : Base pinctrl pin ID in the pin controller
|
|
count : The number of GPIOs/pins in this range
|
|
|
|
The "pin controller node" mentioned above must conform to the bindings
|
|
described in ../pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt.
|
|
|
|
In case named gpio ranges are used (ranges with both <pinctrl-base> and
|
|
<count> set to 0), the property gpio-ranges-group-names contains one string
|
|
for every single-gpio-range in gpio-ranges:
|
|
gpiorange-names-list ::= <gpiorange-name> [gpiorange-names-list]
|
|
gpiorange-name : Name of the pingroup associated to the GPIO range in
|
|
the respective pin controller.
|
|
|
|
Elements of gpiorange-names-list corresponding to numeric ranges contain
|
|
the empty string. Elements of gpiorange-names-list corresponding to named
|
|
ranges contain the name of a pin group defined in the respective pin
|
|
controller. The number of pins/GPIOs in the range is the number of pins in
|
|
that pin group.
|
|
|
|
Previous versions of this binding required all pin controller nodes that
|
|
were referenced by any gpio-ranges property to contain a property named
|
|
#gpio-range-cells with value <3>. This requirement is now deprecated.
|
|
However, that property may still exist in older device trees for
|
|
compatibility reasons, and would still be required even in new device
|
|
trees that need to be compatible with older software.
|
|
|
|
Example 1:
|
|
|
|
qe_pio_e: gpio-controller@1460 {
|
|
#gpio-cells = <2>;
|
|
compatible = "fsl,qe-pario-bank-e", "fsl,qe-pario-bank";
|
|
reg = <0x1460 0x18>;
|
|
gpio-controller;
|
|
gpio-ranges = <&pinctrl1 0 20 10>, <&pinctrl2 10 50 20>;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
Here, a single GPIO controller has GPIOs 0..9 routed to pin controller
|
|
pinctrl1's pins 20..29, and GPIOs 10..19 routed to pin controller pinctrl2's
|
|
pins 50..59.
|
|
|
|
Example 2:
|
|
|
|
gpio_pio_i: gpio-controller@14B0 {
|
|
#gpio-cells = <2>;
|
|
compatible = "fsl,qe-pario-bank-e", "fsl,qe-pario-bank";
|
|
reg = <0x1480 0x18>;
|
|
gpio-controller;
|
|
gpio-ranges = <&pinctrl1 0 20 10>,
|
|
<&pinctrl2 10 0 0>,
|
|
<&pinctrl1 15 0 10>,
|
|
<&pinctrl2 25 0 0>;
|
|
gpio-ranges-group-names = "",
|
|
"foo",
|
|
"",
|
|
"bar";
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
Here, three GPIO ranges are defined wrt. two pin controllers. pinctrl1 GPIO
|
|
ranges are defined using pin numbers whereas the GPIO ranges wrt. pinctrl2
|
|
are named "foo" and "bar".
