So what does Ray and Stephen say about this?

Is the hardware unique enough to warrant its own driver?

Or should it utilize/extend one of the existing Broadcom
drivers?


Currently, the IOMUX configurations in Cygnus, NSP, and NS2 are completely
different and require a separate driver to each of these SoCs. We now
realize the shortcomings and have been communicating with our ASIC team.
We'd like to fix this for the next-gen of our SoC. We are driving towards
using a register layout that will allow us to use just "pinctrl-single" and
"pinconf-single."

OK can you provide your reviews for the NSP driver?

Yours,
Linus Walleij


Yes, I just replied to the email thread with my "Reviewed-by". In fact, both Scott and I reviewed the patches internally in Broadcom before they went out to public.

Thanks,

Ray
