Krzysztof Kozlowski Sept. 17, 2020, 4:52 p.m. UTC
Convert parts of gpio.txt bindings into common dtschema file for GPIO
controllers.  The schema enforces proper naming of GPIO controller nodes
and GPIO hogs.

The schema should be included by specific GPIO controllers bindings.

Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@kernel.org>

Changes since v1:
1. Do not require compatible (some child nodes are gpio-controllers
   without the compatible).

Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for the patch.

How about deleting the part that has been converted from gpio.txt ?

Instead of including it manually, could we use a conditional select: to
apply the schema automatically when a gpio-controller property is
present ?

I'm just a bit worried that duplicating some of the information in two
places will lead to them becoming out of sync, but maybe the risk isn't
that high.

You could just make gpio-controller mandatory in the schema, and get
everything else automatically selected based on that, without needing a
manual $ref.

Did you not see my previous reply about a common schema? We already
have a common GPIO and hog schema in dtschema. Please add to it
whatever is missing.

My goal is all common schema end up in dtschema, but I haven't pushed
folks to do that yet. Ones I've done are there though. One issue is
what's in dtschema should be GPL/BSD and the existing text bindings
are default GPL, so there's a relicensing exercise. In some cases, the
schema is there but I haven't copied over the descriptions.

Indeed, I'll enhance the dt-schema.

The trouble is that each in-kernel YAML file still has to mention
possible gpio-hogs nodes. Is the proper solution to put them in common
YAML inside kernel sources?

Right, I'll skip the descriptions when posting to dt-schema.

Currently, the gpio.yaml schema is applied to all nodes. That has the 
advantage that GPIO related properties are always checked whether we 
have a device specific schema or not. It has the disadvantage that you 
can't do some constraints like required properties or what's in child 
nodes.

We could (and probably should) change it to be referenced by specific 
gpio controller schemas like we do for i2c, spi, etc. Then you can 
define required properties there and do something like:

"-hogs$":
  type: object
  $ref: gpio-hogs.yaml#

I was hoping someone would add the descriptions. :)
