Yes there's a status bit on most omaps in the same register
for each pin.

There is a PRM interrupt that has wake-up events for internal
domain wake-ups and io chain wake-ups. The PRM interrupt is
already a chained IRQ. After we get the wake-up interrupt we
need to check the pinctrl registers that have wake-up bit
enabled for the wake-up status bit.

The GPIO is a separate hardware block on omaps and has
it's own separate wake-up events.

Yeah those are specific to the GPIO block, and not related
to this driver. The GPIO lines have their own wake-up
mechanism that works for retention idle.

For off-idle, only for the first GPIO bank stays powered.
The other GPIO banks get powered down in off-idle mode.

Yes that's correct, they are completely separate.

That's not needed for most cases at this point, the GPIO
block is already handling it's internal wake-up events.

Eventually we should also handle the corner case of
GPIO wake-up line connected to a GPIO bank that's not
the first bank for off-idle. For most low-power hardware
designs that's not needed as the critial pins typically
are placed in the first GPIO bank for this reason.

But let's first figure out how we want to handle the mapping
of wake-up interrupts to device interrupts in general.

Most omap devices have a dedicated io chain wake-up line, so
that's really the key thing to get working first.

Heh, that's not true. And I can totally see where the confusion
comes from :)

The naming "pinctrl" in the GPIO driver is a bit confusing and
it's use predates the pinctrl framework and has been in the GPIO
driver for probably 10 years or so.

The above does not have anything to do with the pinctrl
framework or this pinctrl driver. That is to mux the GPIO pins
inside the GPIO block between the ARM core and the DSP.

Sure we can make the GPIO off-idle wake-up handling automatic
for the GPIO not in the first bank, but that's really a separate
patch.

Sorry I don't know which other OMAP GPIO blocks you're talking
about, care to be a bit more specific?

All the omaps I've seen use the gpio-omap.c. The other GPIOs
are typically on I2C chips.
