Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 1/1] pinctrl: rockchip: add support for per-pinmux
 io-domain dependency

Hi Quentin,

Thank you for your efforts! This will solve several issues that are
bound to pop up if a board deviates from the Rockchip reference design.
It seems this does not happen very often, though, which would explain
the lack of responses to your initial query... :-/

A few comments inline:

Just for the sake of completeness: 2.5V is possibly as well (at least on
RK356x), right?

This approach seems reasonable. But just for my understanding: Does this
mean we need to edit e.g. rk3568-pinctrl.dtsi, iterate over all entries,
and add rockchip,iodomains = <&corresponding_io_domain>;?

If not, at which place are the rockchip,iodomains properties inserted?

Probably this has been left in there for debugging, but should be
removed to avoid spamming dmesg. IIUC this condition could occur several
times.

Again just for my understanding: The property is optional in order to
provide compatibility with older device trees, right?

Looking forward to the v1 of this series, which I'd be happy to test.
