[James Balean]

Hi All,

Thank you for your responses. I will submit a new version of the patch
with your suggestions following this.

Will do. I will be seeking to add TI OMAP device tree support to U-Boot
shortly, and 16-bit register widths are needed for pinmux configuration on
these platforms. Don't have an immediate need for 8-bit though, so will
remove this.

Concur. Thanks for this suggestion.

I tried to maintain consistency with mainline Linux with the separate
read functions, however it makes sense to combine the little functions.

Thanks. Yes, I will rename this to 'single_' for consistency with the
other functions (the pcs_ prefix was for consistency with Linux's
pinctrl-single driver, however it doesn't make sense to copy this
convention).

Keen for your thoughts on v2 of the patch (which I'll submit shortly) as
to me it seems cleaner to have the register read and write switches in
two separate functions, rather than in the 'single_configure_pins(..)'.


Thanks again,
James
