+Altera GPIO controller bindings
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible:
+ - "altr,pio-1.0"
+- reg: Physical base address and length of the controller's registers.
+- #gpio-cells : Should be 2
+ - The first cell is the gpio offset number.
+ - The second cell is reserved and is currently unused.
+- gpio-controller : Marks the device node as a GPIO controller.
+- interrupt-controller: Mark the device node as an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells : Should be 1. The interrupt type is fixed in the hardware.
+ - The first cell is the GPIO offset number within the GPIO controller.
+- interrupts: Specify the interrupt.
+- altr,interrupt-trigger: Specifies the interrupt trigger type the GPIO
+ hardware is synthesized. This field is required if the Altera GPIO controller
+ used has IRQ enabled as the interrupt type is not software controlled,
+ but hardware synthesized. Required if GPIO is used as an interrupt
+ controller. The value is defined in <dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h>
+ Only the following flags are supported:
+ IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING
+ IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING
+ IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_BOTH
+ IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH
+
+Optional properties:
+- altr,ngpio: Width of the GPIO bank. This defines how many pins the
+ GPIO device has. Ranges between 1-32. Optional and defaults to 32 if not
+ specified.
+
+Example:
+
+gpio_altr: gpio@0xff200000 {
+ compatible = "altr,pio-1.0";
+ reg = <0xff200000 0x10>;
+ interrupts = <0 45 4>;
+ altr,ngpio = <32>;
+ altr,interrupt-trigger = <IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING>;
+ #gpio-cells = <2>;
+ gpio-controller;
+ #interrupt-cells = <1>;

+The GPIO chip may contain GPIO hog definitions. GPIO hogging is a mechanism
+providing automatic GPIO request and configuration as part of the

+Each GPIO hog definition is represented as a child node of the GPIO controller.

+- gpio-hog: A property specifying that this child node represent a GPIO hog.

Using GPIOs
===========
@@ -222,6 +259,26 @@ GPIOs belonging to the same bank or chip simultaneously if supported by the
corresponding chip driver. In that case a significantly improved performance

sequentially.
+
+The gpiod_set_array() functions take three arguments:
+ * array_size - the number of array elements
+ * desc_array - an array of GPIO descriptors
+ * value_array - an array of values to assign to the GPIOs
+
+The descriptor array can be obtained using the gpiod_get_array() function
+or one of its variants. If the group of descriptors returned by that function
+matches the desired group of GPIOs, those GPIOs can be set by simply using
+the struct gpio_descs returned by gpiod_get_array():
+
+ struct gpio_descs *my_gpio_descs = gpiod_get_array(...);
+ gpiod_set_array(my_gpio_descs->ndescs, my_gpio_descs->desc,
+ my_gpio_values);
+
+It is also possible to set a completely arbitrary array of descriptors. The
+descriptors may be obtained using any combination of gpiod_get() and
+gpiod_get_array(). Afterwards the array of descriptors has to be setup
+manually before it can be used with gpiod_set_array().
+
Note that for optimal performance GPIOs belonging to the same chip should be
contiguous within the array of descriptors.
