first this is not a code review, just ask a question.

I started to enable MagicBox M16S, and sent patches for review.

but leds are not enabled.

I have tried, and found gpioao: GPIO_TEST_N can control led on off.

thus I add it to dts:

        leds {
                compatible = "gpio-leds";

                led-white {
                        color = <LED_COLOR_ID_WHITE>;
                        function = LED_FUNCTION_POWER;
                        gpios = <&gpio_ao GPIO_TEST_N GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
                        default-state = "keep";
                };
        };

but failed with error -22.

and simply change GPIO_TEST_N to GPIOAO_2, no error.

thus find pinctrl driver doesn't allow to use this gpio.

why?

The TEST_N pinctrl needs a SMC call to set the pin GPIO direction, so it needs
more code to control the pin.

I did an experimental support a few years ago:
https://github.com/superna9999/linux/commits/amlogic/v4.19/gpio-test-n

I would need to be refreshed to work on 5.20.
