[PATCH v3] dt-bindings: GPIO: Add generic serializer binding

From: Andrew F. Davis
Date: Fri Mar 04 2016 - 13:59:09 EST


Add binding for generic parallel-in/serial-out shift register devices
used as GPIO.

The driver was taken but it looks like this might have been lost,
anyway I've added a dual-string example as requested.

+Generic Parallel-in/Serial-out Shift Register GPIO Driver
+
+This binding describes generic parallel-in/serial-out shift register
+devices that can be used for GPI (General Purpose Input). This includes
+SN74165 serial-out shift registers and the SN65HVS88x series of
+industrial serializers.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible : Should be "pisosr-gpio".
+ - gpio-controller : Marks the device node as a GPIO controller.
+ - #gpio-cells : Should be two. For consumer use see gpio.txt.
+
+Optional properties:
+ - ngpios : Number of GPIO lines, default is 8.
+ - load-gpios : GPIO pin specifier attached to load enable, this
+ pin is pulsed before reading from the device to
+ load input pin values into the the device.
+
+For other required and optional properties of SPI slave
+nodes please refer to ../spi/spi-bus.txt.
+
+Example:
+
+ gpio@0 {
+ compatible = "ti,sn65hvs882", "pisosr-gpio";
+ gpio-controller;
+ #gpio-cells = <2>;
+
+ load-gpios = <&gpio2 23 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+
+ reg = <0>;
+ spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
+ spi-cpol;
+ };
