I like this layout for gpios. It's concise and compact. It will work well for my gpio driver also. > > I'm using it like this: > > qe_pio_a: [EMAIL PROTECTED] { > #gpio-cells = <1>; > compatible = "fsl,qe-pario-bank"; Here's my only comment: Compatible should have "fsl,<chip>-pario-bank" first. Be specific for the first value of the compatible property. You can add generic names after the specific one if you like, but it's hard to come up with a generic name when you don't know what a manufacture is going to do with it's marketing names in the future. > reg = <0x1400 0x18>; > gpio-controller; > }; > > qe_pio_e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] { > #gpio-cells = <1>; > compatible = "fsl,qe-pario-bank"; > reg = <0x1460 0x18>; > gpio-controller; > }; > > [EMAIL PROTECTED],0 { > compatible = "stmicro,NAND512W3A2BN6E", "fsl,upm-nand"; > reg = <1 0 1>; > width = <1>; > upm = "A"; > upm-addr-offset = <16>; > upm-cmd-offset = <8>; > gpios = <&qe_pio_e 18 &qe_pio_a 9>; > wait-pattern; > wait-write; > }; > > As you can see I've split single "par_io" node into banks, thus > the benefits: > - we can handle banks of different width (Jochen Friedrich asked for > this, IIRC.
