Hello,
This series does a bunch of crimes, so it's an RFC. I'm cross-posting to the pinctrl/GPIO and LEDs lists because the PCA955x devices impact all of them. What needs fixing is the leds-pca955x driver's failure to map the GPIO numberspace to the pin numberspace of the PCA955x devices. The series solves that by implementing pinctrl and pinmux in the leds-pca955x driver.
Things I'm unsure about:
1. Patch 1: The pinctrl_gpio_as_pin() API feels a bit dirty, not sure what others thoughts are on that (Linus?).
2. Patch 2: I've added a new callback to hook the entirety of the pinctrl map parsing rather than supplying a subnode-specific callback. This was necessary to handle the PCA955x devicetree binding in a backwards compatible way.
3. Patch 4: The PCA955x devices don't actually have any pinmux hardware, but the properties of the pinctrl/pinmux subsystems in the kernel map nicely onto the problem we have. But it's quite a bit of code...
4. Patch 6: I also lost a bunch of time to overlooking the get_group_pins() callback for pinctrl, and it seems odd to me that it isn't required.
Please review!
Andrew
