This patch adds support for configuring GPIO pull-up and pull-down
resistors in the BCM283x pinctrl driver. It implements the brcm,pull
device tree property to control pin bias settings.

The implementation follows the hardware-specific pull control
mechanisms:
- BCM2835: two-step GPPUD register sequence
- BCM2711: direct per-pin control registers

This enables device tree configurations to specify pull-up, pull-down,
or no bias for individual GPIO pins.

Tested on Raspberry Pi boards with both BCM2835 and BCM2711 SoCs.

We should check for arbitrary values, so check should be, pull_len > 0x2

In the current version of the patch, I validate each element in
pull_arr[] as follows:
     for (i = 0; i < pull_count; i++) {
         if (pull_arr[i] > 2) {
             debug("Invalid pull value %d for pin %d in pinconfig %s\n",
                   pull_arr[i], pin_arr[i], config->name);
             return -EINVAL;

Could you please clarify? Did you mean to replace the alignment check
`if (pull_len & 0x3)` with `pull_len > 0x2` ?


I think I miss some basic understanding here. Please help me with that. From
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/brcm,bcm2835-gpio.yaml?h=v6.18-rc5#n88

          $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32-array
          maximum: 2
</snip>

So if I understand correctly you are reading the number of bytes in brcm,pull, which should be either one or two u32 values. But you error out only if the pull_len is 0x3. How is that? My gut feeling tells me it should be either 0x2 or 0x4 everything else is an invalid DTB. But as I said I think I miss some fundamental understanding here. Can you please elaborate.

By the way, I suppose we implement the deprecated binding because the RPi FW still uses this, correct?

Matthias
