28.Dt "FDT_PINCTRL" 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm fdt_pinctrl
32.Nd FDT I/O pin multiplexing support
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd "device fdt_pinctrl"
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36.Pp
37Pin multiplexing is a technology used to re-purpose a single
38physical connection (depending on chip packaging it may be
39pin, ball, or pad) by routing its signal to any one of several
40different SoC internal devices.
41For example, based on the actual device design, a single SoC chip
42pin might perform any of these roles: SPI clock, I2C
43data, GPIO pin, or PWM signal.
44Function selection is performed by the pinmux controller, a SoC
45hardware block which is usually controlled by a set of registers.
46Pinmux controller capabilities and register format depend
47on the actual hardware implementation.
48.Pp
49On
50.Xr fdt 4
51based systems, the pinmux controller is represented by a node in
52the device tree.
53It may have any number of child nodes representing pin
54configuration groups.
55Properties of such nodes are hardware-specific and handled
56by individual pinctrl drivers.
57.Ss Example 1
58Pinmux controller device tree node
59.Bd -literal
60pinctrl@7e220000 {
61    compatible = "vndr,soc1715-pinctrl";
62    reg = <0x7e220000 0x100>
63
64    spi0_pins: spi0 {
65        vndr,pins = <11 12>
66        vndr,functions = <ALT0 ALT5>
67    }

69    i2c0_pins: i2c0 {
70        ...
71    }
72}
73.Ed
74.Pp
75Client devices are hardware devices that require certain pin
76configurations to function properly.
77Depending on the state the device is in (active, idle) it might
78require different pin configurations.
79Each configuration is described by setting the pinctrl-N
80property to the list of phandles pointing to specific child
81nodes of the pinmux controller node.
82N is an integer value starting with 0 and incremented by 1
83for every new set of pin configurations.
84pinctrl-0 is a default configuration that is applied in the
85.Xr fdt_pinctrl_configure_tree 9
86call.
87In addition to referring to pin configurations by index, they
88can be referred to by name if the pinctrl-names property is set.
89The value of pinctrl-names is a list of strings with names for
90each pinctrl-N property.
91Client devices can request specific configuration using
92.Xr fdt_pinctrl_configure 9
93and
94.Xr fdt_pinctrl_configure_by_name 9 .
95.Ss Example 2
96.Bd -literal
97backlight@7f000000 {
98    compatible = "vndr,vndr-bl"
99    reg = <0x7f000000 0x20>
100    ...
101    pinctrl-name = "active", "idle"
102    pinctrl-0 = <&backlight_active_pins>
103    pinctrl-1 = <&backlight_idle_pins>
104}
105.Ed
106.Pp
107The pinctrl driver should implement the FDT_PINCTRL_CONFIGURE
108method, register itself as a pin configuration handler by
109calling fdt_pinctrl_register function, and call
110.Xr fdt_pinctrl_configure_tree 9
111to configure pins for all enabled devices (devices where
112the "status" property is not set to "disabled").
