Chris,

sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I don't want you to change every gpo
into gpio. All I was referring to is the _difference_ between driver
implementation and device tree binding - and soley resolve that.

So, for the gpo's I see that the binding doc still says "gpio" for the
available functions where the driver expects "gpo".

e.g. the binding has this:

mpp6          6        gpio, sd0(clk), dev(a2)

if you change it to

mpp6          6        gpo, sd0(clk), dev(a2)

both binding and driver are the same, right?

I do understand that the hardware is gp-output only and you correctly
reflected that in the pinctrl driver - but the binding doc does not
reflect that for those mpps in the list.

Did I make it clearer now or am I still missing the point?

Sebastian
