There is currently no possibility for the gpmc to set either the
waitp-pin polarity or use the same wait-pin for different cs-regions.

While the current implementation may fullfill most usecases, it may not
be sufficient for more complex setups (e.g. FPGA/ASIC interfaces), where 
more complex interfacing options where possible.

For example interfacing an ASIC which offers multiple cs-regions but
only one waitpin the current driver and dt-bindings are not sufficient.

While using the same waitpin for different cs-regions worked for older
kernels (4.14) the omap-gpmc.c driver refused to probe (-EBUSY) with
newer kernels (>5.10). 


Benedikt Niedermayr (3):
  memory: omap-gpmc: allow shared wait pins
  memory: omap-gpmc: add support for wait pin polarity
  dt-bindings: memory-controllers: gpmc-child: Add binding for
    wait-pin-polarity

Please base your patches on a recent Linux kernel (judging by CC list
this is something old) - either current RC or linux-next.

Best regards,

... and create a v2 patch series then?

Best regards,

Just for updating email addresses - no need. If the code was rebased and
tested on something old, then yes, please.

Best regards,
