Dear Krzysztof,

Thank you for the review.

sys is quite generic. Description explains nothing except duplicating
known information. Drop duplicated info and instead explain to what this
phandle points and how it is going to be used.
Read comments carefully.


I will update the description of 'nuvoton,sys'.

So just phandle, not phandle-array, unless it is defined like this in
some other binding.
I would like to update this as:

  nuvoton,sys:
Nothing improved.

Here just fix  the 'phandle-array' to 'phandle' and remove 'maxItems'.

    description:

Driver is not relevant here. Say which part of syscon are necessary for
pinctrl operation.


I will update description as:

  nuvoton,sys:
    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/phandle
    description:
      The pin function control registers are located in the system
      control register space. This phandle provides pinctrl the

Keep the same order as in list of properties.

Why using different naming than other Nuvoton SoCs? You also accept
"foobarpcfg-1", which does not look intentional.

I will use '"^pin-[a-z0-9-.]+$" instead.
[.] is redundant... What exactly do you want to match?

I want to match the name like "-1.8v" or "-3.3v".
However, this should be specified in the property, so I will drop the "-.".

Why do you need this and other ones?
We expect the pin configuration to select one of ==>
bias-disable;
bias-pull-down;
bias-pull-up;

This is the same as rockchip,pinctrl.yaml and renesas,rzv2m-pinctrl.yaml.
OK, then go with nuvoton approach. List the properties (:true) and use
additionalProperties: false.

I got it.

0 mA? Is it really valid? Are you sure you used correct property?
We treat this value as the value to be written to the control register,
not as
a current value in mA. I will correct this mistake.
Instead treat it as mA. Is this possible?

I will update it as:

      drive-strength-microamp:
        oneOf:
          - enum: [ 2900, 4400, 5800, 7300, 8600, 10100, 11500, 13000 ]
            description: 1.8V I/O driving strength
          - enum: [ 17100, 25600, 34100, 42800, 48000, 56000, 77000, 82000 ]
            description: 3.3V I/O driving strength

And use a lookup table in the pinctrl driver to translate it into register value.

+ power-source:
+ description:

Missing units in property name. power-source also does not really
describe the property.

The output voltage level of GPIO can be configured as 1.8V or 3.3V,
but I cannot find any suitable output properties in 'pincfg-node.yaml.'
There is actually power-source, but treated as actual choice of power
supplies.

I noticed that 'xlnx,zynq-pinctrl.yaml' and 'xlnx,zynq-pinctrl.yaml' use
'power source' to specify the output voltage.  Should I follow their
approach or define a vendor-specific one?
Maybe Rob or Linus have here some recommendation, but I would suggest to
go either with rtd1319d-pinctrl.yaml approach or add a generic property
to pincfg-node expressed in real units like "io-microvolt".

OK, I will update it as:

      power-source:
        description: |
          Valid arguments are described as below:
          0: power supply of 1.8V
          1: power supply of 3.3V
        enum: [0, 1]


Rob, Linus, any ideas for generic property replacing register-specific
power-source?

Krzysztof
