Usually banks are considered separate gpio controllers, so numbering always start from 0 because phandle encodes the bank. And this is exactly what Rob already asked in v1 review.

Ha, actually I misread his reply, I think he proposed your syntax: <&gpio BANK_X 10 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW> Best regards, Krzysztof

No, this is not what was asked, at least according to my understanding. Number of GPIOs is not an ABI. Neither is their relationship, where one starts and other ends. Maybe I missed something, but I could not find any users of these in the DTS. Look: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241014-a4_pinctrl-v2-3-3e74a65c285e@amlogic.com/ Where is any of above defines? Maybe they will be visible in the consumer code, but I did not imagine such use. You expect: reset-gpios = <&ctrl GPIOAO_START 1>??? How this is anyway close to what we have for Aspeed or Tegra? I understand that there was no consumer DTS, but you have also cover letter which could bring some answers in case reviewer is confused. What did cover letter say? Let me quote: "Add pinctrl driver support for Amloigc A4 SoC" Best regards, Krzysztof

OK, so I said it was not a binding: https://lore.kernel.org/all/u4afxqc3ludsic4n3hs3r3drg3ftmsbcwfjltic2mb66foo47x@xe57gltl77hq/ and you here confirm, if I understood you correctly, that it goes with the DTS like reset defines (I assume non-ID like defines?), so also not a binding? What are we disagreeing with? Just to recall, Jerome asked whether you have to now use arbitrary numbers in DTS and my answer was: not. It's still the same answer. Best regards, Krzysztof

I don't see examples of how a C file applies a DTS header file. Good question, I still don't understand why the model we used so far is suddenly bad. Rob simply pointed for AOBUS: ==========><===================== I find defines with the value of the define in the name pretty pointless. ==========><===================== Right but those are an exception because GPIO_TEST_N is the exception, And of the periphs: ==========><===================== I'm not really much of a fan of using defines for GPIOs, but if you do, wouldn't be better to split banks and lines up rather than a global number space. See ASPEED_GPIO() or tegra header. ==========><===================== This is exactly what was provided in v2, and mapped what was in aspeed-gpio.h I repeat: The GPIO names are not linear to a number, pointing to the first AOBUS first is a nonsense since GPIO_TEST_N is the exception. And the driver needs those numbers since they are bindings.
