Will update the commit message of the main driver and sys_east domain subdriver to
to inform what SoC they are running on, and to explain that the main driver provides
common APIs to all the domain subdrivers to perform their respective tasks, and how
the main driver and domain drivers work together.

For subdrivers: “aon”, “sys-east”, “sys-west”, and ”sys-gmac” :

The cross-include “../pinmux.h” and “../pinconf.h” are redundant.

The cross-include “../core.h” provides reference to functions:
int pinctrl_force_sleep(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev);
int pinctrl_force_default(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev);

Remove all cross-include “../core.h”, "../pinmux.h" and "../pinconf.h" from the subdrivers,
and move "#include "../core.h" to driver header file “pinctrl-starfive-jh8100.h”.

The header <linux/of_gpio.h> is removed and use only the gpiod interfaces in <linux/gpio/consumer.h>.

Cross-includes:

 “../core.h” --

provides definitions for “struct pinctrl_dev” and “struct group_desc”.

also, provides reference to functions:

pinctrl_generic_get_group_count
pinctrl_generic_get_group_name
pinctrl_generic_get_group_pins
pinctrl_generic_get_group
pinctrl_generic_add_group

Suggest to move “../core.h” to the driver header file “pinctrl-starfive-jh8100.h”

“../pinctrl-utils.h” -- 

provides reference to function:

pinctrl_utils_free_map

Suggest removing “../pinctrl-utils.h” and add the “pinctrl_utils_free_map” 
function prototype to the driver header file “pinctrl-starfive-jh8100.h”.

“../pinmux.h” – 

provides reference to functions:

pinmux_generic_get_function_count
pinmux_generic_get_function_name
pinmux_generic_get_function_groups
pinmux_generic_add_function

Suggest removing “../pinmux.h” and add the above “pinmux_generic_*” 
function prototypes to the driver header file “pinctrl-starfive-jh8100.h”.

“../pinconf.h” – 

provides reference to function: 

pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config

Suggest removing “../pinconf.h” and add the above “pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config”
function prototype to driver header file “pinctrl-starfive-jh8100.h”.

This condition is unlikely to happen. Will remove this if statement.

Yes, will use the gpiolib irqchip handling. Please see the implementation in
function gpiochip_wakeup_irq_setup() in drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c.

Will use only descriptor-based interface to handle the wakeup_gpio since the
integer-based interface is obsolete. Please see the implementation in
function gpiochip_wakeup_irq_setup() in drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c.

I have removed the function jh8100_gpio_irq_setup() and the GPIO wakeup irq 
enablement in probe function from the main driver.
The function gpiochip_wakeup_irq_setup() is created in gpiolib core
"drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c" as a replacement of the codes removed from the main
driver. This function is a wakeup handling that automatically set up the gpio wakeup
irq if user had the “wakeup-source” and “wakeup-gpios” properties defined in their
device tree.
Initially, I tried to call gpiochip_wakeup_irq_setup() from function gpiochip_add_irqchip(),
but gpiod_to_irq() returns -517 (EPROBE_DEFER) when convert hwirq to virq. 
Eventually, this function is called at the end of function gpiochip_add_data_with_key().
The testing showed that when the GPIO logic level is toggled, the interrupt triggered
can wake up the system from sleep.
