[PATCH v2 4/5] pinctrl: renesas: gpio: support software nodes for function GPIOs
From: Dmitry Torokhov
Date: Thu May 21 2026 - 01:17:00 EST
This patch extends the sh-pfc GPIO driver to support software-node-based
configuration for the secondary 'function' GPIO chip.
While the primary GPIO chip typically uses the firmware node attached to
the parent platform device, the secondary chip should target a specific
child node to avoid ambiguity when defining GPIO hogs or properties.
Update gpio_function_setup() to look for a child node named 'functions',
but only when the parent is a software node. This ensures the behavior
is restricted to legacy platforms being migrated to software nodes.
