This combines +the direction and output level into a single bit per line, which can't be read +back. We can't actually know at initialization time whether a line is configured +(a) as output and driving the signal low/high, or (b) as input and reporting a +low/high value, without knowing the last value written since the chip came out +of reset (if any). The only reliable solution for setting up line direction is +thus to do it explicitly. + +Required Properties: + + - compatible: should be one of the following. + - "maxim,max7328": For the Maxim MAX7378 + - "maxim,max7329": For the Maxim MAX7329 + - "nxp,pca8574": For the NXP PCA8574 + - "nxp,pca8575": For the NXP PCA8575 + - "nxp,pca9670": For the NXP PCA9670 + - "nxp,pca9671": For the NXP PCA9671 + - "nxp,pca9672": For the NXP PCA9672 + - "nxp,pca9673": For the NXP PCA9673 + - "nxp,pca9674": For the NXP PCA9674 + - "nxp,pca9675": For the NXP PCA9675 + - "nxp,pcf8574": For the NXP PCF8574 + - "nxp,pcf8574a": For the NXP PCF8574A + - "nxp,pcf8575": For the NXP PCF8575 + - "ti,tca9554": For the TI TCA9554 + + - reg: I2C slave address. + + - gpio-controller: Marks the device node as a gpio controller. + - #gpio-cells: Should be 2. The first cell is the GPIO number and the second + cell specifies GPIO flags, as defined in <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h>.
