This series adds a pinctrl/pinmux interface to control STM32 RTC outputs.

Theses two signals output are possible:
- LSCO (Low Speed Clock Output) that allow to output LSE clock on a pin.
On STM32MPU Discovery boards, this feature is used to generate a clock
to Wifi/Bluetooth module.
- Alarm out that allow to send a pulse on a pin when alarm A of the RTC
expires.

First attempt [1] was based on 'st,' vendor properties, this one is based
on pinctrl and pinmux framework.

As device-trees will be upstreamed separately, here is an example:

stm32-pinctrl {
rtc_rsvd_pins_a: rtc-rsvd-0 {
pins {
pinmux = <STM32_PINMUX('B', 2, AF1)>, /* OUT2 */
<STM32_PINMUX('I', 8, ANALOG)>; /* OUT2_RMP */
};
};
};

stm32-rtc {
pinctrl-0 = <&rtc_rsvd_pins_a &rtc_alarma_pins_a>;

/* Enable by foo-device */
rtc_lsco_pins_a: rtc-lsco-0 {
pins = "out2_rmp";
function = "lsco";
};

/* Enable by stm32-rtc hog */
rtc_alarma_pins_a: rtc-alarma-0 {
pins = "out2";
function = "alarm-a";
};
};

foo-device {
pinctrl-0 = <&rtc_lsco_pins_a>;
};


This all seems good to me, I let you fix the various issues that have
been reported. I was just wondering whether the LSCO clock was registered
early enough to be used but I guess you tested that.


Hi,

Here it is:

Yes it works fine, RTC is probed early enough in the boot sequence, and so Wifi/BT module does not have an issue to get the LSCO clock.

Thanks,
Valentin
