Hi Linus,
Thanks for your time to review the Samsung pinctrl driver patches. I
have inlined the reply to your comments.

Yes, I missed Cc'ing devicetree-discuss at lists.ozlabs.org. I will do
that in the post of this patch set.

These properties are converted to a PIN_MAP_TYPE_CONFIGS_GROUP map
type and stored in a instance of 'struct pinctrl_map'. These can be
read back from the registers and reverse-mapped as well.
All the dt bindings defined and used in the Samsung pinctrl driver are
first translated into pinctrl subystem defined data structures and
then used. Hence, there are no register configurations done that skip
over the pinctrl subsystem (except for the gpio/wakeup interrupts).

Yes, such an example will be informative here. I will add an example for this.

Yes, I agree. So, for example, the uart device node would have
uart at 13800000 {
compatilble = " .... ";
<rest of the properties here>
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 - <&uart0_data>;
};
The uart driver during probe can then call
devm_pinctrl_get_select_default(&pdev->dev);
For the example above, this call will set the 'mux', 'pud' and 'drv'
values to gpa-0 and gpa-1 pins.

These were selected if PINCTRL_EXYNOS4 config option is selected. This
is in the 2/4 patch of this series. But, as you said, PINMUX and
PINCONF should be selected with PINCTRL_SAMSUNG config option. I will
fix this.

Ok. The last two entries in the above table are Samsung specific and
not covered by generic-pinconf. So, I am not sure if it can be added
to generic-pinconf. For now, since you are not enforcing the use of
generic-pinconf, I will keep it the way it is now.

The name of the pin group is derived from the node name and hence
strlen(np->name). To this name, "-grp" is appended to imply that this
is a group. Hence +4 is used. I will replace +4 with probably
strlen(PINGRP_SUFFIX) where PINGRP_SUFFIX is defined as "-grp".

Yes, I missed setting up those two states. Those are used only during
suspend/resume and hence I over-looked those for now. I will add them
here.

Ok, I will do that. I did not see how those would be used and hence skipped it.

Same reason as the previous +4 usage. But this time, -mux is appended
to denote it as function setting. I will rework this.

These callbacks setup the irq domain and irq_chip for gpio and wakeup
interrupts. These are Samsung specific and are dealt with outside of
the pinctrl subsystem framework.

Ok. I will move as much as of these as possible into .c files.

It was done to reduce adding new data types.

Yes, I agree to all the above suggestions on the data types. I will

I wanted to keep the lines within 80 columns. Splitting a line into
two lines started making the code look unreadable.

Yes, I will do that. As a brief note on this here, the Samsung
pin-controllers support two types of interrupts from the pins,
external gpio and external wakeup interrupts. The external gpio

No, these are populated by the platform (SoC) specific data that the
Samsung pinctrl driver gets during probe. Due to the differences in
the gpio and wakeup interrupt controllers on Samsung SoC's, the setup
and implementations of these interrupts have been made SoC specific.
The pinctrl driver is responsible only for initiating the setup of the
gpio/wakeup interrupts.

This name is used to in multiple places in the code and the longer the
