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

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