Subject[RFC PATCH 0/4] pinctrl: at91: various fixes
Date
Hello,

This patch series fixes some errors in the pinctrl drivers:
- typos in dt-binding macros and pinctrl-at91 driver (patch 1)
- fix several at91-pinctrl functions (patch 2 and 3)
- rework the debounce config handling (patches 4)

The last point is the most important one: the at91sam9x5/pio3 controller
does not provide a per pin debounce time config. Instead it provides a
common debounce time for all the pins on a given bank (PIOX).

In this series I proposed 2 solutions to gracefully handle this limitation:
1) Handle debounce time conflicts at config time (PATCH 4/4).
In other words, all the pins on a given bank using the debounce option must
use the same debounce time. If a device tries to configure a pin with
conflicting a debounce time, this will result in an -EINVAL error return
during the pin configuration.
2) Provide a device tree property to define the default debounce time on a
given bank (PATCH alt 4/4)


I prefer the first solution, as it provides a more future proof approach:
- the generic pinconf layer provides a per pin debounce time config and if
we plan to support it we should take this into consideration
- IMHO we should be able to (re)configure the debounce time after bootup and
the second solution does not provide any way to do this

I might be wrong, so please feel free to share your thoughts about this.

Best Regards,

Boris
