ruction is used. If not, then a generic version is used as you have coded. The PowerPC (another possible future ARCH for QorIQ/Layerscape SOC?) always has inline assembler macros. So, + #include ... + #define FTM_SWAP32(b, v) (b ? __swab32(v) : v) might be better.

ternal muxing is used or not needed, then 'control=false' can be set (or whatever good DT terminology)? Then the 'GPIO_CONTROL' check would be in the 'vf610_gpio_direction_input()' functions. The 'pinctrl' functions are currently compiled to stubs if that

k/coldfire (patched) kernels and I wanted it to be useful for them. However, we could probably remove the 'platform support'. Other people are using this on PPC platforms and they will also have dt/of. Currently the platform control has no way to 'pass data', so the driver only works with whatever defaults it has (or that is my belief). For instance, those OpenWRT kernels have a 'machine file' which will set the 'clock-frequency' and other parameters. We could remove the platform support completely if it is misleading. I guess the KConfig would need a 'depends on CONFIG_OF'.
