It seems to be common that some GPIOs which are not regulators or reset pins must be switched into the right direction for stuff to work. Adding board specific properties to the device tree to solve this common problem for a single usecase doesn't sound like a good solution. I suggest that you take a look at the GPIO hogging mechanism patches from Benoit Parrot instead: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/19/342 Sascha -- Pengutronix e.K. | | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | Peiner Str. 6-8, 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
