You register this pinmux mapping to the pinmux subsystem by simply:
- ret = pinmux_register_mappings(pmx_mapping, ARRAY_SIZE(pmx_mapping));
+ ret = pinctrl_register_mappings(mapping, ARRAY_SIZE(mapping));
Since the above construct is pretty common there is a helper macro to make
it even more compact which assumes you want to use pinctrl-foo and position
0 for mapping, for example:
-static struct pinmux_map __initdata pmx_mapping[] = {
- PINMUX_MAP("I2CMAP", "pinctrl-foo", "i2c0", "foo-i2c.0"),
+static struct pinctrl_map __initdata mapping[] = {
+ PIN_MAP_MUX_GROUP("foo-i2c.o", PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, "pinctrl-foo", NULL, "i2c0"),
+};
+
+The mapping table may also contain pin configuration entries. It's common for
+each pin/group to have a number of configuration entries that affect it, so
+the table entries for configuration reference an array of config parameters
+and values. An example using the convenience macros is shown below:
+
+static unsigned long i2c_grp_configs[] = {
+ FOO_PIN_DRIVEN,
+ FOO_PIN_PULLUP,
+};
+

+
+Finally, some devices expect the mapping table to contain certain specific
+named states. When running on hardware that doesn't need any pin controller
+configuration, the mapping table must still contain those named states, in
