[RFC PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: pincfg-node: Introduce an overridable way to set bias on pins

From: Konrad Dybcio
Date: Mon Jan 30 2023 - 11:54:57 EST


We came to a point where we sometimes we support a few dozen boards
with a given SoC. Sometimes, we have to take into consideration
configurations which deviate rather significatly from the reference
or most common designs. In the context of pinctrl, this often comes
down to wildly different pin configurations. While pins, function and
drive-strength are easily overridable, the (mostly) boolean properties
associated with setting bias, aren't. This wouldn't be much of a
problem if they didn't differ between boards so often, preventing us
from having a "nice" baseline setup without inevitably having to go
with an ugly /delete-property/. Introduce bias-type, a bias-type-
specific property and clone the pinconf-generic type enum into
dt-bindings to allow for setting the bias in an easily overridable
manner such as:

// SoC DT
i2c0_pin: i2c0-pin-state {
pins = "gpio10";
function = "gpio";
bias-type = <BIAS_PULL_UP>;
};

// Deviant board DT
&i2c0_pin {
bias-type = <BIAS_HIGH_IMPEDANCE>;
};
