+                 MFP Configuration for PXA2xx/PXA3xx Processors
+
+                        Eric Miao <eric.miao@marvell.com>
+
+MFP stands for Multi-Function Pin, which is the pin-mux logic on PXA3xx and
+later PXA series processors.  This document describes the existing MFP API,
+and how board/platform driver authors could make use of it.
+
+ Basic Concept
+===============
+
+Unlike the GPIO alternate function settings on PXA25x and PXA27x, a new MFP
+mechanism is introduced from PXA3xx to completely move the pin-mux functions
+out of the GPIO controller. In addition to pin-mux configurations, the MFP
+also controls the low power state, driving strength, pull-up/down and event
+detection of each pin.  Below is a diagram of internal connections between
+the MFP logic and the remaining SoC peripherals:
+
+ +--------+
+ |        |--(GPIO19)--+
+ |  GPIO  |            |
+ |        |--(GPIO...) |
+ +--------+            |
+                       |       +---------+
+ +--------+            +------>|         |
+ |  PWM2  |--(PWM_OUT)-------->|   MFP   |
+ +--------+            +------>|         |-------> to external PAD
+                       | +---->|         |
+ +--------+            | | +-->|         |
+ |  SSP2  |---(TXD)----+ | |   +---------+
+ +--------+              | |
+                         | |
+ +--------+              | |
+ | Keypad |--(MKOUT4)----+ |
+ +--------+                |
+                           |
+ +--------+                |
+ |  UART2 |---(TXD)--------+
+ +--------+
+
+NOTE: the external pad is named as MFP_PIN_GPIO19, it doesn't necessarily
+mean it's dedicated for GPIO19, only as a hint that internally this pin
+can be routed from GPIO19 of the GPIO controller.
+
+To better understand the change from PXA25x/PXA27x GPIO alternate function
+to this new MFP mechanism, here are several key points:
+
+  1. GPIO controller on PXA3xx is now a dedicated controller, same as other
+     internal controllers like PWM, SSP and UART, with 128 internal signals
+     which can be routed to external through one or more MFPs (e.g. GPIO<0>
+     can be routed through either MFP_PIN_GPIO0 as well as MFP_PIN_GPIO0_2,
+     see arch/arm/mach-pxa/mach/include/mfp-pxa300.h)
+
+  2. Alternate function configuration is removed from this GPIO controller,
+     the remaining functions are pure GPIO-specific, i.e.
+
+       - GPIO signal level control
+       - GPIO direction control
+       - GPIO level change detection
+
+  3. Low power state for each pin is now controlled by MFP, this means the
+     PGSRx registers on PXA2xx are now useless on PXA3xx
+
+  4. Wakeup detection is now controlled by MFP, PWER does not control the
+     wakeup from GPIO(s) any more, depending on the sleeping state, ADxER
+     (as defined in pxa3xx-regs.h) controls the wakeup from MFP
+
+NOTE: with such a clear separation of MFP and GPIO, by GPIO<xx> we normally
+mean it is a GPIO signal, and by MFP<xxx> or pin xxx, we mean a physical
+pad (or ball).
+
+ MFP API Usage
+===============
+
+For board code writers, here are some guidelines:
+
+1. include ONE of the following header files in your <board>.c:
+
+   - #include <mach/mfp-pxa25x.h>
+   - #include <mach/mfp-pxa27x.h>
+   - #include <mach/mfp-pxa300.h>
+   - #include <mach/mfp-pxa320.h>
+   - #include <mach/mfp-pxa930.h>
+
+   NOTE: only one file in your <board>.c, depending on the processors used,
+   because pin configuration definitions may conflict in these file (i.e.
+   same name, different meaning and settings on different processors). E.g.
+   for zylonite platform, which support both PXA300/PXA310 and PXA320, two
+   separate files are introduced: zylonite_pxa300.c and zylonite_pxa320.c
+   (in addition to handle MFP configuration differences, they also handle
+   the other differences between the two combinations).
+
+   NOTE: PXA300 and PXA310 are almost identical in pin configurations (with
+   PXA310 supporting some additional ones), thus the difference is actually
+   covered in a single mfp-pxa300.h.
+
+2. prepare an array for the initial pin configurations, e.g.:
+
+   static unsigned long mainstone_pin_config[] __initdata = {
+        /* Chip Select */
+        GPIO15_nCS_1,
+
+        /* LCD - 16bpp Active TFT */
+        GPIOxx_TFT_LCD_16BPP,
+        GPIO16_PWM0_OUT,        /* Backlight */
+
+        /* MMC */
+        GPIO32_MMC_CLK,
+        GPIO112_MMC_CMD,
+        GPIO92_MMC_DAT_0,
+        GPIO109_MMC_DAT_1,
+        GPIO110_MMC_DAT_2,
+        GPIO111_MMC_DAT_3,
+
+        ...
+
+        /* GPIO */
+        GPIO1_GPIO | WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_BOTH,
+   };
+
+   a) once the pin configurations are passed to pxa{2xx,3xx}_mfp_config(),
+   and written to the actual registers, they are useless and may discard,
+   adding '__initdata' will help save some additional bytes here.
+
+   b) when there is only one possible pin configurations for a component,
+   some simplified definitions can be used, e.g. GPIOxx_TFT_LCD_16BPP on
+   PXA25x and PXA27x processors
+
+   c) if by board design, a pin can be configured to wake up the system
+   from low power state, it can be 'OR'ed with any of:
+
+      WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_BOTH
+      WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_RISE
+      WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_FALL
+      WAKEUP_ON_LEVEL_HIGH - specifically for enabling of keypad GPIOs,
+
+   to indicate that this pin has the capability of wake-up the system,
+   and on which edge(s). This, however, doesn't necessarily mean the
+   pin _will_ wakeup the system, it will only when set_irq_wake() is
+   invoked with the corresponding GPIO IRQ (GPIO_IRQ(xx) or gpio_to_irq())
+   and eventually calls gpio_set_wake() for the actual register setting.
+
+   d) although PXA3xx MFP supports edge detection on each pin, the
+   internal logic will only wakeup the system when those specific bits
+   in ADxER registers are set, which can be well mapped to the
+   corresponding peripheral, thus set_irq_wake() can be called with 
+   the peripheral IRQ to enable the wakeup.
+
+
+ MFP on PXA3xx
+===============
+
+Every external I/O pad on PXA3xx (excluding those for special purpose) has
+one MFP logic associated, and is controlled by one MFP register (MFPR).
+
+The MFPR has the following bit definitions (for PXA300/PXA310/PXA320):
+
+ 31                        16 15 14 13 12 11 10  9  8  7  6  5  4  3  2  1  0

+                          (0) or by PULL{UP,DOWN}_EN bits (1)
+
+  Bit 0 - 2: AF_SEL - alternate function selection, 8 possibilities, from 0-7

+                        0b006 - slow 10mA
+                        0b007 - fast 10mA
+
+ MFP Design for PXA2xx/PXA3xx
+==============================
+
+Due to the difference of pin-mux handling between PXA2xx and PXA3xx, a unified
+MFP API is introduced to cover both series of processors.
+
+The basic idea of this design is to introduce definitions for all possible pin
+configurations, these definitions are processor and platform independent, and
+the actual API invoked to convert these definitions into register settings and
+make them effective there-after.

+
+  Pin Configuration
+  -----------------
+
+  The following comments are copied from mfp.h (see the actual source code
+  for most updated info)
+  
+  /*
+   * a possible MFP configuration is represented by a 32-bit integer
+   *
+   * bit  0.. 9 - MFP Pin Number (1024 Pins Maximum)
+   * bit 10..12 - Alternate Function Selection
+   * bit 13..15 - Drive Strength
+   * bit 16..18 - Low Power Mode State
+   * bit 19..20 - Low Power Mode Edge Detection
+   * bit 21..22 - Run Mode Pull State
+   *
+   * to facilitate the definition, the following macros are provided
+   *
+   * MFP_CFG_DEFAULT - default MFP configuration value, with
+   *              alternate function = 0,
+   *              drive strength = fast 3mA (MFP_DS03X)
+   *              low power mode = default
+   *              edge detection = none
+   *
+   * MFP_CFG    - default MFPR value with alternate function
+   * MFP_CFG_DRV        - default MFPR value with alternate function and
+   *              pin drive strength
+   * MFP_CFG_LPM        - default MFPR value with alternate function and
+   *              low power mode
+   * MFP_CFG_X  - default MFPR value with alternate function,
+   *              pin drive strength and low power mode
+   */
+
+   Examples of pin configurations are:
+
+   #define GPIO94_SSP3_RXD              MFP_CFG_X(GPIO94, AF1, DS08X, FLOAT)
+
+   which reads GPIO94 can be configured as SSP3_RXD, with alternate function
+   selection of 1, driving strength of 0b101, and a float state in low power
+   modes.
+
+   NOTE: this is the default setting of this pin being configured as SSP3_RXD
+   which can be modified a bit in board code, though it is not recommended to
+   do so, simply because this default setting is usually carefully encoded,
+   and is supposed to work in most cases.
+
+  Register Settings
+  -----------------
+
+   Register settings on PXA3xx for a pin configuration is actually very
+   straight-forward, most bits can be converted directly into MFPR value
+   in a easier way. Two sets of MFPR values are calculated: the run-time
+   ones and the low power mode ones, to allow different settings.
+
+   The conversion from a generic pin configuration to the actual register
+   settings on PXA2xx is a bit complicated: many registers are involved,
+   including GAFRx, GPDRx, PGSRx, PWER, PKWR, PFER and PRER. Please see
+   mfp-pxa2xx.c for how the conversion is made.
