is there a link for this platform?

internal only

but will eventually be sold externally? I assume this is not an TI internal only board.

no pinctrl needed?

pins are gpio by default

Might be good to explicitly configure it - no strong opinions though -> GPIOs are always good to pinctrl up esp if bootloader screws up at a later date.

what speed are you running this on? -> also can you align these to 1

100kHz ?

Rule of thumb is to do the following:
MIN(MAX_FREQ(D1), MAX_FREQ(D2).... MAX_FREQ(Dn));
where D1..n are all the peripherals on this i2c bus.

is this muxed?

there's no configuration for this. This pin is a single function.

no voltage ?

has no users in kernel. Also, it comes out with default, and correct,
voltage.

Device tree is description of hardware, not just who uses what in OS of interest.

you might consider u-boot to use the same device tree at a later date and having complete details about the hardware is always the norm.

I suggest setting the voltage here to be complete even if there are no current users.

+ status = "okay";
+ compatible = "edt,edt-ft5306", "edt,edt-ft5x06";
+ pinctrl-names = "default";
+ pinctrl-0 = <&edt_ft5306_ts_pins>;
+ reg = <0x38>;
+ interrupt-parent = <&gpio0>;
+ interrupts = <31 0>;
+
+ wake-gpios = <&gpio1 28 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

why wake-gpios? we should be using pinctrl with interrupt-extended to
do wakeup sequence, no?

sure, can you patch the edt driver ? I'll fix the DTS after that gets
merged

If you really want to go down that road, so you could probably help review the pinctrl patches I posted to enable pinctrl wakeup[1]?

Come on, as of today, there is no ability to suspend AM437x without doing [1], let alone talk about wakeup gpio vs interrupt-extended. and do we really want to wakeup from suspend when touch screen is touched?

Do you expect wake-gpio to work even after doing interrupt based solution? I am no edt driver expert... maybe you can help me here.

+&mmc1 {
+ status = "okay";
+ vmmc-supply = <&dcdc4>;
+ bus-width = <4>;
+ pinctrl-names = "default";
+ pinctrl-0 = <&mmc1_pins>;

just for style, wonder if moving the pinctrl just after status is better?

why ? makes no difference.

it does not - I agree, except, when you look at all other nodes:
status="okay"
pinctrl
other things..

it is just a symmetry thing, I guess..


+ cd-gpios = <&gpio0 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

+
+&usb2_phy1 {
+ status = "okay";
+};
+
+&usb1 {
+ dr_mode = "peripheral";
+ status = "okay";
+};
+
+&usb2_phy2 {
+ status = "okay";
+};
+
+&usb2 {
+ dr_mode = "host";
+ status = "okay";
+};
none of the above need pinctrl? no regulator supplies?

pins in default states, drivers don't use regulators.

USB works without a supply? even a fixed voltage supply? that is weird.
