dt-bindings: gpio: Add a gpio-reserved-ranges property
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Some qcom platforms make some GPIOs or pins unavailable for use
by non-secure operating systems, and thus reading or writing the
registers for those pins will cause access control issues.
Introduce a DT property to describe the set of GPIOs that are
available for use so that higher level OSes are able to know what
pins to avoid reading/writing.

If these GPIOs do not happen to be the first N GPIOs at offset 0...N-1, an
additional bitmask is needed to specify which GPIOs are actually in use,
and which are dummies. The bindings for this case has not yet been
specified, but should be specified if/when such hardware appears.
