Apologies, I will reword the changelog in v2.

My understanding is that syscon subnodes normally use this name for exactly
the same purpose, for example:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/reset/syscon-poweroff.yaml#L27
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/reset/syscon-reboot.yaml#L30

What am I missing?

That's defined in patch 3 from this series.
I have sent it as patch 3 because that document references:
* /schemas/gpio/renesas,rzv2m-pwc-gpio.yaml
* /schemas/power/reset/renesas,rzv2m-pwc-poweroff.yaml
Which are defined in this patch and in patch 2 in the series.

Do you want me to move patch 3 to patch 1 in v2?

>From a pure HW point of view, this GPIO block is contained inside the PWC block
(as PWC is basically a MFD device), and it only deals with 2 General-Purpose
Output pins, both controlled by 1 (and the same) register, therefore the GPIO
block is only 1 child.

If possible, I would like to keep the functionality offered by the sub-blocks of
PWC contained in separated drivers and DT nodes (either non-child nodes or child
nodes).

My understanding is that simple-mfd will automatically probe the children of the
simple-mfd node, and also hierarchically it makes sense to me to have the DT nodes
of the PWC sub-blocks as children of the "syscon", "simple-mfd" node. I have found
other instances of this same architecture in the kernel already (plenty from NXP/Freescale),
for example:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mm.dtsi#L585
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mn.dtsi#L586
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mp.dtsi#L451
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mq.dtsi#L616
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/mips/boot/dts/mti/sead3.dts#L93
etc...

Something like the below could also work, but I don't think it would represent the
HW accurately:
pwc: pwc@...00000 {
	compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc", "renesas,rzv2m-pwc",
		     "syscon", "simple-mfd";
	reg = <0 0xa3700000 0 0x800>;
};

pwc-gpio {
	compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc-gpio",
		     "renesas,rzv2m-pwc-gpio";
	regmap = <&pwc>;
	gpio-controller;
	#gpio-cells = <2>;
};

pwc-poweroff {
	compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc-poweroff",
		     "renesas,rzv2m-pwc-poweroff";
	regmap = <&pwc>;
};


I think the below describes things better:
pwc: pwc@...00000 {
	compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc", "renesas,rzv2m-pwc",
		     "syscon", "simple-mfd";
	reg = <0 0xa3700000 0 0x800>;

	gpio {
		compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc-gpio",
			     "renesas,rzv2m-pwc-gpio";
		regmap = <&pwc>;
		offset = <0x80>;
		gpio-controller;
		#gpio-cells = <2>;
	};

	poweroff {
		compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc-poweroff",
			     "renesas,rzv2m-pwc-poweroff";
		regmap = <&pwc>;
	};
};

Do you think the bindings I have sent out are causing confusion here?
What else can I improve?

Thanks,
Fab
