Looks like I missed pointing this out previously, but extending this list to take care of all boards will not be right since (for example) AXR13 and AXR14 pins could be used for different purpose on different boards.
This is correct as the list in da850.c is a *generic* module's pin list. If the board needs less pins (and the pins it does not use for McASP are used differently), it should define its own pin list.
The right way would be to make this a per-board list. Since it is marked __initdata, that wouldn't lead to bloat.
This patch is correct anyway. Unless DA850 EVM board can't use these pins for McASP -- but in this case the corresponding board file needs the specific pin list added.
Okay. I guess you are saying we will keep adding pins to the generic list as long as *all* supported boards don't get a conflict
No, I don't care about conflicts as long as da850.c is concerned.
and if we run into a conflict we will spawn separate list for the affected board.
Yes.
The only issue I see with this approach is it puts too much burden on the developer to verify that none of the supported boards break.
That should be verified by the owners of that board. They shouldn't even have used the generic pin lists in the first place. The conception behind pin lists in da850.c was celarly misunderstood when DA850 EVM code was developed.
Since it is highly unlikely that any board will need all the McASP pins, the generic list will likely remain unused.
At least for now, Hawkboard will use all the defined pins -- I don't know if there are any more undefined yet...
It might just be easier to start using board specific lists right away. This is especially true for McASP where usage of pins across boards will likely vary widely.
Well, that depends on how complete the new generic McASP pin list is. If it's still not, then board specific pin list looks preferable indeed...
Thanks, Sekhar
