Hi Timur,

It's always good to review old code, so don't worry about its age of
the patch or code.

If you look in patchset 2 (the addition of 8974) you can see that I
passed a pinctrl_gpio_range from the 8974 driver to the common driver;
but I only use this to pass the number of gpios (NUM_GPIO_PINGROUPS).

Most likely based on some review comments this was replaced with just
an unsigned 'ngpios'.

The 'ngpio' specifies how many gpio pins/groups (they are 1:1 in the
qcom case) the tlmm block sports, while 'npins' specifies how many
pingroups can be controlled by pinctrl/pinconf/pinmux.

So 'npins' will be 'ngpio' plus the other things that can be
controlled, e.g. sdcc.


The original patch assigns ngpio to be "the number of pinctrl pins in
the gpio range", i.e. a subset of all pins.
