title: Generic Pin Multiplexing Node

description: |
The contents of the pin configuration child nodes are defined by the binding
for the individual pin controller device. The pin configuration nodes need not
be direct children of the pin controller device; they may be grandchildren,
for example. Whether this is legal, and whether there is any interaction
between the child and intermediate parent nodes, is again defined entirely by
the binding for the individual pin controller device.
While not required to be used, there are 3 generic forms of pin muxing nodes
which pin controller devices can use.
pin multiplexing nodes:
Example:
state_0_node_a {
uart0 {
function = "uart0";
groups = "u0rxtx", "u0rtscts";
};
};
state_1_node_a {
spi {
function = "spi0";
groups = "spi0pins";
};
};
state_2_node_a {
function = "i2c0";
pins = "mfio29", "mfio30";
};
Optionally an alternative binding can be used if more suitable depending on the
pin controller hardware. For hardware where there is a large number of identical
pin controller instances, naming each pin and function can easily become
unmaintainable. This is especially the case if the same controller is used for
different pins and functions depending on the SoC revision and packaging.
For cases like this, the pin controller driver may use pinctrl-pin-array helper
binding with a hardware based index and a number of pin configuration values:
pincontroller {
... /* Standard DT properties for the device itself elided */
#pinctrl-cells = <2>;
state_0_node_a {
pinctrl-pin-array = <
0 A_DELAY_PS(0) G_DELAY_PS(120)
4 A_DELAY_PS(0) G_DELAY_PS(360)
...
>;
};
...
};
Above #pinctrl-cells specifies the number of value cells in addition to the
index of the registers. This is similar to the interrupts-extended binding with
one exception. There is no need to specify the phandle for each entry as that
is already known as the defined pins are always children of the pin controller

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
