From: Fan Wu <[email protected]>What the patch did: 1.To call pinmux_disable_setting ahead of pinmux_enable_setting in each time of calling pinctrl_select_state 2.Remove the HW disable operation in in pinmux_disable_setting function. 3.Remove the disable ops in struct pinmux_ops 4.Remove all the disable ops users in current code base. Notes: 1.Great thanks for the suggestion from Linus, Tony Lindgren and Stephen Warren. 2.The patch also includes comment fixes from Stephen Warren. The reason why to do this is that: 1.To avoid duplicated calling enable_setting operation without disabling operation which will let Pin's desc->mux_usecount keep being added. 2.The HW pin disable operation is not useful for most of the vendors' platform. And this can be used to avoid the HW glitch after using the item 1# modification. In the following case, the issue can be reproduced: 1)There is a driver need to switch Pin state dynamicly, E.g. b/t "sleep" and "default" state 2)The Pin setting configuration in DTS node may be like the following one: component a { pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep"; pinctrl-0 = <&a_grp_setting &c_grp_setting>; pinctrl-1 = <&b_grp_setting &c_grp_setting>; } The "c_grp_setting" config node is totaly same, maybe like following one: c_grp_setting: c_grp_setting { pinctrl-single,pins = <GPIO48 AF6>; MFP_DEFAULT; } 3)When switching the Pin state in the following official Pinctrl sequence: pin = pinctrl_get(); state = pinctrl_lookup_state(wanted_state); pinctrl_select_state(state); pinctrl_put(); Test Result: 1)The switch is completed as expectation, that is: component's Pins configuration are changed according to the description in the "wanted_state" group setting 2)The "desc->mux_usecount" of corresponding Pins in "c_group" is added without being decreased, because the "desc" is for each physical pin while the "setting" is for each setting node in the DTS. Thus, if the "c_grp_setting" in pinctrl-0 is not disabled ahead of enabling "c_grp_setting" in pinctrl-1, the desc->mux_usecount will be kept added without any chance to be decreased. According to the comments in the original code, only the setting, in old state but not in new state, will be "disable"(calling pinmux_disable_setting), which is correct logic but not intact. We still need consider case that the setting is in both old state and new state. We can do this in the following two ways: 1) Avoid "enable"(calling pinmux_enable_setting) the Same Pins setting repeatedly. 2) "Disable"(calling pinmux_disable_setting) the "Same Pins setting", actually two setting instance, ahead of enabling them. Analysis: 1.The solution 2# is better because it can avoid too much iteration. 2.If we disable all of the setting in the old state and one/ones of the setting(s) is/are existed in the new state, the Pin's mux function change may happen when some SoC vendors defined the "pinctrl-single,function-off" in their DTS file. old_setting=>disabled_setting=>new_setting. 3.In the pinmux framework, when Pin state is switched, the setting in the old state should be marked as "disabled". Conclusion: 1.To Remove the HW disabling operation to above the glitch mentioned above. 2.Handle the issue mentioned above by disabling all of the settings in old state and then enable the all of the settings in new state.

I would have preferred this patch to be split in multiple ones. Anyway, if Linus W. agrees for one patch, that's fine for me too.
