pinctrl-rockchip: Change wrong initial assumptions

A patchset in state Mainline for linux-kernel

From: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@...> Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2014 22:13:52 +0200

From the "wet behind the ears" files: Initially due to lack of documentation and (personal) understanding I assumed that the area holding the iomux settings would be separate from everything else, while in fact the grf registers contain not only pinctrl stuff but also dma, usb-phy and general soc-status settings. Also things like drive-strength we do not support currently are intermixed. The same is true for the pmu, which does not only contain power domains but also the system reset as well as well as general registers surviving system-resets. Additionally the rk3188 moved parts of the pull-setting registers into the pmu space. While this wasn't a problem until now, the upcoming rk3288 introduces additional changes to both the grf and pmu areas. On it even part of the pinmux registers move into the pmu space. For this my current gut-feeling is, that providing both the grf and pmu as syscons to the pinctrl driver might be more future proof for the next socs. But as I'm not sure on this, I'd like of course comments :-) The code in it's current form supports both the old as well as the changed binding. The other option would be to leave the grf as it is and create separate syscons for real small individual parts like the soc-conf and usb-phys. But apart from creating these real small syscons that would also make it necessary to introduce another register map for the drive-strength settings of the pin-controller, which are sitting in the middle of everything at least on rk3066 and rk3188. So I'd really like comments here :-) @Max: sorry to come up with this now, but I feel this should be resolved (in whatever direction) before we introduce any grf syscon. Because due to dt being an API we will be tied for a long time to it.
