Bindings are for h/w blocks/devices, not a specific driver.

Too generic of a name. We want any given property name (globally) to 
have 1 type. With the below comment, this should be replaced with 'reg' 
instead if you have child nodes.

Looks like GPIO is a sub-function of some other block. Define the 
binding for that entire block. GPIO can be either either a function of 
that node (just add GPIO provider properties) or you can have GPIO child 
nodes. Depends on what the entire block looks like to decide. Do you 
have multiple instances of the GPIO block would be one reason to have 
child nodes.

Apologies, I will reword the changelog in v2.

My understanding is that syscon subnodes normally use this name for exactly
the same purpose, for example:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/reset/syscon-poweroff.yaml#L27
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/reset/syscon-reboot.yaml#L30

What am I missing?

That's defined in patch 3 from this series.
I have sent it as patch 3 because that document references:
* /schemas/gpio/renesas,rzv2m-pwc-gpio.yaml
* /schemas/power/reset/renesas,rzv2m-pwc-poweroff.yaml
Which are defined in this patch and in patch 2 in the series.

Do you want me to move patch 3 to patch 1 in v2?

From a pure HW point of view, this GPIO block is contained inside the PWC block
(as PWC is basically a MFD device), and it only deals with 2 General-Purpose
Output pins, both controlled by 1 (and the same) register, therefore the GPIO
block is only 1 child.

If possible, I would like to keep the functionality offered by the sub-blocks of
PWC contained in separated drivers and DT nodes (either non-child nodes or child
nodes).

My understanding is that simple-mfd will automatically probe the children of the
simple-mfd node, and also hierarchically it makes sense to me to have the DT nodes
of the PWC sub-blocks as children of the "syscon", "simple-mfd" node. I have found
other instances of this same architecture in the kernel already (plenty from NXP/Freescale),
for example:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mm.dtsi#L585
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mn.dtsi#L586
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mp.dtsi#L451
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mq.dtsi#L616
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/mips/boot/dts/mti/sead3.dts#L93
etc...

Something like the below could also work, but I don't think it would represent the
HW accurately:
pwc: pwc@a3700000 {
	compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc", "renesas,rzv2m-pwc",
		     "syscon", "simple-mfd";
	reg = <0 0xa3700000 0 0x800>;
};

pwc-gpio {
	compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc-gpio",
		     "renesas,rzv2m-pwc-gpio";
	regmap = <&pwc>;
	gpio-controller;
	#gpio-cells = <2>;
};

pwc-poweroff {
	compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc-poweroff",
		     "renesas,rzv2m-pwc-poweroff";
	regmap = <&pwc>;
};


I think the below describes things better:
pwc: pwc@a3700000 {
	compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc", "renesas,rzv2m-pwc",
		     "syscon", "simple-mfd";
	reg = <0 0xa3700000 0 0x800>;

	gpio {
		compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc-gpio",
			     "renesas,rzv2m-pwc-gpio";
		regmap = <&pwc>;
		offset = <0x80>;
		gpio-controller;
		#gpio-cells = <2>;
	};

	poweroff {
		compatible = "renesas,r9a09g011-pwc-poweroff",
			     "renesas,rzv2m-pwc-poweroff";
		regmap = <&pwc>;
	};
};

Do you think the bindings I have sent out are causing confusion here?
What else can I improve?

Thanks,
Fab

These are generic drivers, so they need offset as they do not match any
specific programming model. You are not making a generic device. Address
offsets are not suitable in most cases for DTS. There are of course
exceptions so you can present reasons why this one is exception.

We do not want regmap, but proper definition of entire hardware.

Driver do not matter for bindings. We talk about regmap field which - as
you explained above - is not needed.

I don't understand. You do not have here simple-mfd and it still does
not explain Rob's comment and regmap.

You speak about two different things. So again - drop regmap. You do not
need it.

Right, I'll be more careful next time.

Will do. I'll drop regmap.

Okay, I'll rework, and I'll send v2.
