GPIO state cannot be changed via the device tree (e.g. with gpio-hog) or
using the 'gpio' command from the console.
The root cause is a discrepancy between the driver and the device tree:
the driver code expects an absolute I/O address in the <reg> property,
while the device tree defines the address relative to a declaration in
the parent pinctrl node.
Changing the device tree to fix a driver issue would normally be wrong,
however:
- I have run the first version of U-Boot in which this driver appears
(v2016.03) and the same problem exists, so this is not a regression;
- There is no code that references a parent device tree node that might
suggest the intent of the author was to parse the DT as it exists now;
- The equivalent Linux PIC32 GPIO driver also uses absolute addresses
for the GPIO <reg> property. This change brings the U-Boot DT more
into line with Linux.
Additionally, the data sheet (Microchip ref. 60001361H) shows that the
register set to control a GPIO bank spans 0xE0 bytes, but the device
tree specified size is only 0x48 bytes.
