[PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: gpio: add gpio-aggregator binding
From: James Hilliard
Date: Wed Feb 11 2026 - 03:14:27 EST
Document the gpio-aggregator virtual GPIO controller with a dedicated
schema and compatible string.
Also extend the GPIO AGGREGATOR MAINTAINERS entry to cover the new
binding file.
Signed-off-by: James Hilliard <james.hilliard1@xxxxxxxxx>
---
Changes v1 -> v2:
- Add MAINTAINERS entry for the new binding file
- Rewrite binding description without "this binding" wording
(suggested by Krzysztof Kozlowski)
- Drop unrelated consumer node from the example
(suggested by Krzysztof Kozlowski)
- Add gpio-line-names usage to the example to show named aggregated
lines
