Each SGPIO position provides one input GPIO and one output GPIO with
fixed directions, along with interrupt support for input GPIOs.
This series adds support for the SGPIO controller found on the Axiado
AX3005 SoC.
The series includes:
- Devicetree binding documentation
- GPIO driver implementation
The driver uses gpio-regmap for GPIO operations and provides
controller-specific interrupt handling.
Tested on Axiado AX3005 platforms.

Changes in v3:
- Dropped AX3000 support.
- Renamed the series to reflect AX3005-only support.
- Removed AX3000-specific compatible, match data, and register-layout
handling.
- Reworked GPIO operations to use `gpio-regmap` with fixed GPIO
directions and custom register/mask translation.
- Changed `ngpios` to represent the total number of Linux GPIO lines,
with each SGPIO position contributing one input and one output line,
and allowed any even count up to the hardware limit.
- Reworked interrupt handling to use a dedicated managed IRQ domain and
the `gpio-regmap` IRQ resource helpers.
- Added IRQ lockdep classes and restricted IRQ mappings to input GPIOs.
- Reworked software edge detection using input shadow state and dynamic
bitmaps for rising, falling, and unmasked interrupts.
- Updated input shadow handling so transitions occurring while an IRQ is
masked are not replayed after it is unmasked.
- Added regmap caching for the write-only output shadow registers and
marked live and interrupt-status registers appropriately.
- Reworked SoC match data to explicitly describe bank count, input-bank
alignment.
- Reworked hardware initialization to check register-access errors, use
named register fields and masks, and correctly handle partial banks.
- Added managed hardware shutdown so the shift engine and interrupts are
disabled on probe failures and device removal.
- Simplified resource management and removed the custom GPIO data
shadowing and locking used by the previous implementation.
- Clarified the binding description of SGPIO positions, fixed
input/output directions, and interrupt capabilities.

Changes in v2:
- Split the series into two patches: the binding and `MAINTAINERS`
update, followed by the SGPIO driver.
- Added SoC-specific compatibles for AX3000 and AX3005 and selected
hardware limits and register layouts through match data.
- Reworked clock handling to use one APB clock and calculate the SGPIO
divider from `bus-frequency`.
- Removed the custom `design-variant`, `dout-init`, `apb-frequency`,
and clock-source selection properties from the previous design.
- Added validation for the GPIO count, clock rates, and SGPIO divider
calculation.
- Added fixed GPIO direction handling: even offsets are inputs and odd
offsets are outputs.
- Fixed child IRQ mapping for the interleaved input/output GPIO layout
and restricted interrupts to input GPIOs.
- Reworked interrupt handling to support rising, falling, and both-edge
detection through software filtering.
- Initialized the input cache before enabling interrupts to prevent
false edge events during probe.
- Serialized output cache updates and register writes with a mutex to
prevent lost concurrent updates.
- Updated GPIO IRQ handling to use GPIO IRQ resource helpers and
threaded nested interrupts.
- Added managed hardware cleanup for probe failures and device removal.
- Updated the Kconfig regmap dependency for the MMIO-backed variant.
- Simplified resource management and error handling and performed
general coding-style cleanup.
