Hi Srinivas,

thanks for your patch!

So this is in essence a completely new pin controller that shares
nothing with the previous Qcom SoC pin control hardware?

I'd still like Bjorn to review it of course, but if you are going to
maintain this driver an entry to the MAINTAINERS file would
be nice.

I'd like some more talk in the commit message about how this
driver is engineered so I point those things out below.

These days you can actually just
select GPIOLIB
but no big deal.

Do not use this legacy header for new GPIO drivers.
#include <linux/gpio/driver.h>
should work.

So the way I understand it, the GPIO lines have one register each and then the
functionality of each line is handled by different bits in that register, like
output is driven in bit 9.

This would be nice to have mentioned in the commit message.

The driver appears to follow other qualcomm pin controllers in using
the "one group is one pin" approach. This is idiomatic and should be
mentioned in the commit message.

Maybe it is obvious to everyone what this array is about, but why so
many zeroes? I think it warrants a comment in the code if that
means for example that some pins do not support slew rate setting.

Overall this is a nice and self-contained driver that uses the abstractions
the right way and very straight-forward, so I think we can merge it
soon.

(Look into Andy's comments as well.)
