Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] dt-bindings: pps: pps-gpio: document optional pinctrl states
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 17:11:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919171157.5502-3-farbere@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917075611.47881-1-farbere@amazon.com>
When the PPS input GPIO is routed through a pin controller, a board may
need to mux those pins to a different function while pps-gpio is not
driving PPS (for example after the driver is unbound or across a kexec).
Document the optional "default" and "inactive" pinctrl-names and show
both in the example. The "default" state selects the PPS/GPIO function
and is applied by the driver core before probe; the optional "inactive"
state, when present, describes the mux to restore when the driver is
unbound or the system is shut down. "default" is pinctrl-0, matching the
implicit ordering the pinctrl core already assigns it, and "inactive" is
pinctrl-1; the driver looks each state up by name.

Changes in v4:
- Rework per Rob Herring: do not express the ordering in prose; use an
ordered "items" list ("default" then "inactive") with minItems: 1,
since pinctrl-0 is already implicitly "default" and its position is
fixed. This also fixes the "['default', 'inactive'] is too long"
dt_binding_check error seen on v3. Reword the commit message accordingly
Changes in v3:
- Do not constrain pinctrl-names to a fixed ["default", "inactive"]
tuple. The driver looks the states up by name, so "inactive" may
appear in any position and other states may coexist; only require
(via "contains") that a "default" state exists, and reword the
description accordingly
Changes in v2:
- Rename the released state from "idle" to "inactive"
