This SGPIO controller is for NUVOTON NPCM7xx and NPCM8xx SoC.
Nuvoton NPCM SGPIO module is combine serial to parallel IC (HC595)
and parallel to serial IC (HC165), and use APB3 clock to control it.
This interface has 4 pins  (D_out , D_in, S_CLK, LDSH).
NPCM7xx/NPCM8xx have two sgpio module each module can support up
to 64 output pins,and up to 64 input pin, the pin is only for gpi or gpo.
GPIO pins have sequential, First half is gpo and second half is gpi.

The datasheet can reference HC165 and HC595.

The bus frequency is derived from input clocks, isn't it? We already
questioned this property and this does not help justify it existence.
Drop it.

I reminded you about this twice. So this is third time. Or maybe even
fourth?

doc reference errors (make refcheckdocs):

See https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/devicetree-bindings/patch/20230110083238.19230-4-jim.t90615@gmail.com

The base for the series is generally the latest rc1. A different dependency
should be noted in *this* patch.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note
that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking
your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.

Hi Krzysztof

sorry for reply late.
I think I need to explain more details about the clock.

The NPCM7xx / NPCM8xx  SGPIO feature have 4 pins.
picture is as below:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E9i_Avh-AZV9IEZO1HLMT4EtgCBe46OV/view?usp=sharing

The clock is generated from npcm7xx APB.
The bus frequency is derived from npcm7xx APB not HC595/HC165.
Users can connect  1~8 HC595 on DOUT pin to decode the serial data for
HC595 A~H pin
and can connect  1~8 HC165 on DIN pin to encode the serial data to
send to NPCM7xx.

The test device is as below:
https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/345467/TI/SN74HC595N.html
https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/27899/TI/SN74HC165N.html

NPCM7xx/NPCM8xx have two sgpio modules;
each module can support up to 64 output pins,and up to 64 input pins.
If the user needs 64 output pins , user needs to connect 8 HC595.
If the user needs 64 input pins , user needs to connect 8 HC165.

the HC595 and HC165 connect is as below:
NPCM7xx_DOUT    ->   HC595  SER pin
NPCM7xx_SCLK     ->   HC595  SRCLK pin
NPCM7xx_LDSH    ->    HC595  RCLK pin

NPCM7xx_SCLK     ->   HC165  CLK pin
NPCM7xx_LDSH     ->   HC165  SH/LD pin
NPCM7xx_DIN        ->    HC165  QH pin

The frequency is not derived from the input clock. so i think maybe
the yaml needs to describe it.
if yaml file still didn't need please let me know.

And if you have any confusion about the sgpio feature or the connect
test please let me know.


Best regards,
Jim

It's still top-posting.

That's not what your code was saying. It said:
"Directly connected to APB bus and its shift clock is from APB bus clock
divided by a programmable value."

Now read the description of bus-frequency:
"Legacy property for fixed bus frequencies"

Don't add legacy properties to new bindings. You have
assigned-clock-rates and clocks properties.
