Subject[PATCH 1/3] Device tree binding documentation for gpio-switch
Date
This patch adds documentation for the gpio-switch binding. This binding
provides a mechanism to bind named links to gpio, with the primary
purpose of enabling standardised access to switches that might be standard
across a group of devices but implemented differently on each device.

+Device-Tree bindings for gpio attached switches.
+
+This provides a mechanism to provide a named link to specified gpios. This can
+be useful in instances such as when theres a need to monitor a switch, which is
+common across a family of devices, but attached to different gpios and even
+implemented in different ways on differnet devices.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible = "gpio-switch";
+
+Each signal is represented as a sub-node of "gpio-switch". The naming of
+sub-nodes is arbitrary.
+
+Required sub-node properties:
+
+ - label: Name to be given to gpio switch.
+ - gpios: OF device-tree gpio specification.
+
+Optional sub-node properties:
+
+ - read-only: Boolean flag to mark the gpio as read-only, i.e. the line
+ should not be driven by the host.
+
+Example nodes:
+
+ gpio-switch {
+ compatible = "gpio-switch";
+
+ write-protect {
+ label = "write-protect";
+ gpios = <&gpx3 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+ read-only;
+ };
+
+ developer-switch {
+ label = "developer-switch";
+ gpios = <&gpx1 3 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+ read-only;
+ };
+
+ recovery-switch {
+ label = "recovery-switch";
+ gpios = <&gpx0 7 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+ read-only;
+ };
+ };
