+== Amlogic Meson pinmux controller ==
+
+Required properties for the root node:
+ - compatible: "amlogic,meson8-pinctrl"
+ - reg: address and size of registers controlling irq functionality
+
+=== GPIO sub-nodes ===
+
+The 2 power domains of the controller (regular and always-on) are
+represented as sub-nodes and each of them acts as a GPIO controller.
+
+Required properties for sub-nodes are:
+ - reg: should contain address and size for mux, pull-enable, pull and
+ gpio register sets
+ - reg-names: an array of strings describing the "reg" entries. Must
+ contain "mux", "pull" and "gpio". "pull-enable" is optional and
+ when it is missing the "pull" registers are used instead
+ - gpio-controller: identifies the node as a gpio controller
+ - #gpio-cells: must be 2
+
+Valid sub-node names are:
+ - "banks" for the regular domain
+ - "ao-bank" for the always-on domain
+
+=== Other sub-nodes ===
+
+Child nodes without the "gpio-controller" represent some desired
+configuration for a pin or a group. Those nodes can be pinmux nodes or
+configuration nodes.
+
+Required properties for pinmux nodes are:
+ - groups: a list of pinmux groups. The list of all available groups
+ depends on the SoC and can be found in driver sources.
+ - function: the name of a function to activate for the specified set
+ of groups. The list of all available functions depends on the SoC
+ and can be found in driver sources.
+
+Required properties for configuration nodes:
+ - pins: a list of pin names
+
+Configuration nodes support the generic properties "bias-disable",
+"bias-pull-up" and "bias-pull-down", described in file
+pinctrl-bindings.txt
