[PATCH v6 6/7] gpio: dt-bindings: Add GPIO on top of generic pin control
From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Mon Mar 23 2026 - 15:07:04 EST
From: AKASHI Takahiro <takahiro.akashi@xxxxxxxxxx>
Traditionally, firmware will provide a GPIO interface or a pin control
interface. However, the SCMI protocol provides a generic pin control
interface and the GPIO support is built on top of that using the normal
pin control interfaces. Potentially, other firmware will adopt a
similar generic approach in the future.
Document how to configure the GPIO device.

v6: Fix the subject. Sorry!
Fix typo in my email.
Add Krzysztof's reviewed-by tag.
v5: Fix subsystem prefix
Re-word the commit message
I removed all references to the driver. I also removed the
reference to pin muxing because that's described in the pin control
spec file.
Fix 3 vs 4 typo in the example.
v4: Changed additionalProperties: true to false.
Add gpio-line-names.
Deleted one example.
Add r-b tags
v3: Forward port and update

+title: Pin control based generic GPIO controller
+
+description:
+ The pin control-based GPIO will facilitate a pin controller's ability
+ to drive electric lines high/low and other generic properties of a
+ pin controller to perform general-purpose one-bit binary I/O.
