Hi Chuanhong,

thanks for your patch!

So from the driver it is very clear that this is lumping together several
GPIO blocks with 16 GPIOs in each into a bigger GPIO controller, despite
the instances are identical. They even each have an individual IRQ.

I would say minimum: 1 maximum: 16 default: 16.

One instance per block/bank.

Just use 4 instances. Since (looking at the driver) it seems there
is an IRQ register that is "off the bulk" I would do something like:

instance 0:

reg = <0x19d00000 0x40>, <0x19d04000 4>;

instance: 1:

reg = <0x19d00040 0x40>, <0x19d04004 4>;

(...etc...)

You can add reg-names if you don't want the implicit order
of registers. (Perhaps the bindings maintainers will push for this
as well.)

Just one IRQ and handle just one block per instance.

Just omit this on instances 0,1,2 and set to 1 on
instance 3.

Augment this accordingly to one instance per bank/range.

Actually, this weird GPIO controller uses one 0x40 block per pin (The
49 pin controller uses 0x40 * 49 or about 3K memory space just for IO
registers!), and they share a single reset signal from the reset
controller.
I don't know how one reset could be shared across multiple platform
devices so I don't think this kind of split is possible.

In general I don't think shared reset lines in silicon is
any problem whatsoever, they are reference counted,
just like clocks or regulators, and there is a flag
RESET_CONTROL_FLAGS_BIT_SHARED
especially for this purpose.

You might have to fix the reset driver, or fix up the way
they are defined in the device tree, I don't know how,
but certainly it is possible. If in doubt consult the reset
controller maintainer. (Philipp.)
