This was the conclusion we reached after some discussion with Linus W. Initially this was just a GPIO driver, but Linus correctly spotted that Baytrail has many pinctrl-like features (like pin muxing, etc) that we might need to address in the future. threads where this was discussed: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=136994203308585&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=137113578604763&w=2
So this is the interesting part:
We expect BIOS to set all pin configurations correctly.
This device will only be used on an ACPI system, right? And isn't ACPI supposed to hide all the pinctrl programming from the OS? I thought that was the whole point behind ACPI and the reason why ARM64 isn't going to use device trees.
