[PATCH v2] pinctrl: generic: Add output-enable property

From: Jacopo Mondi
Date: Thu Jun 22 2017 - 06:01:55 EST


Add output-enable generic pin configuration property.
This properties allows enabling/disabling pin's output capabilities
without actually driving any value on the line.

---
v1->v2:
- Expand the property description as suggested by Laurent. I ended up
mentioning the in-famous output buffer :)

One (more) question to GPIO people on:
+ PCONFDUMP(PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_ENABLE, "output enabled", NULL, false),

I copied this from INPUT_ENABLE where arguments 2 and 3 passed to PCONFDUMP are
NULL and false even if the property has an argument, used to enable/disable
the input mode. Is this intended? Should that be turned instead to
- PCONFDUMP(PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_ENABLE, "input enabled", NULL, false),
+ PCONFDUMP(PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_ENABLE, "input enabled", "enabled", true),

Note that the same applies to most of the properties that have an
"enable"/"disable" argument. Just to make sure this is done on purpose.

Thanks
