Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] gpio: Device tree support for LPC32xx
Hi Grant,
thanks for your suggestions about LPC32xx GPIO DT.
Regarding the numbering:

Please consider how the groups are specified in
drivers/gpio/gpio-lpc32xx.c. They each have different numbers of lines
and GPIO / GPI / GPO functionality. So they also have different callback
sets, and we need to do separate gpiochip_add()s which leads to the
separate gpio-bank specifications in the dtsi file. Separate enabling of
those banks via OF are a nice by-product.
So I would like to keep it that way.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance,
Roland
