FYI... I've updated the pinmux section of the OMAP wishlist wiki with
this rough plan from Tony.

IMHO, we should also change omap_cfg_reg to omap_cfg_mux or something alike.

Perhaps, although we use either EOL (for HTC Wizard) or Haret to boot,
and they don't set up the right mux configuration for our board.

This way though, we don't have to worry about the boot loader -- we
can set it up right regardless of who boots us.


I agree with Cory.

I prefer that mux settings go into the kernel, even if they are setup
in the bootloader already.  It's better to have redundancy than wonder
what to do if changing boot loaders.


Probably opening up a can of worms.. Are the rules different for OMAP3?

Yes, we should.  My preference is to always have muxing in the kernel.


Agreed. We still should support bootloader only muxing too.

BTW, I've been thinking about the following sets of patches for the next
merge window:

1. Do the include directories for mach-omap1 and mach-omap2 as suggested
by Russell earlier

2. Move all mux code to only live under arch/arm/*omap*/ and make sure
drivers don't call omap_cfg_reg() any longer

3. Remove the enumeration for the mux and require all the boards to
register the pins they'll use

After these it should be trivial to improve the mux code further. The
steps 2&  3 above will be most likely breaking things for some boards,
so help will be needed with testing.

I agree, this sounds like a good approach.  Should make a lot of
drivers much cleaner and easier to maintain, and we can do away with
the 7xx versus all of the rest of omap1 mux nonsense we have right
now.

Agreed. We still should support bootloader only muxing too.

BTW, I've been thinking about the following sets of patches for the next
merge window:

1. Do the include directories for mach-omap1 and mach-omap2 as suggested
   by Russell earlier

2. Move all mux code to only live under arch/arm/*omap*/ and make sure
   drivers don't call omap_cfg_reg() any longer

3. Remove the enumeration for the mux and require all the boards to
   register the pins they'll use

After these it should be trivial to improve the mux code further. The
steps 2 & 3 above will be most likely breaking things for some boards,
so help will be needed with testing.
