The commit cf517fe ("pinctrl: aspeed: Force to disable the function's signal") exposed a problem with fetching the regmap for reading the GFX register.
The Romulus machine the device tree contains a gpio hog for GPIO S7. With the patch applied:
Muxing pin 151 for GPIO
Disabling signal VPOB9 for VPO
aspeed-g5-pinctrl 1e6e2080.pinctrl: Failed to acquire regmap for IP block 1
aspeed-g5-pinctrl 1e6e2080.pinctrl: request() failed for pin 151
The code path is aspeed-gpio -> pinmux-g5 -> regmap -> clk, and the of_clock code returns an error as it doesn't have a valid struct clk_hw pointer. The regmap call happens because pinmux wants to check the GFX node (IP block 1) to query bits there.
For reference, before the offending patch:
Muxing pin 151 for GPIO
Disabling signal VPOB9 for VPO
Want SCU8C[0x00000080]=0x1, got 0x0 from 0x00000000
Disabling signal VPOB9 for VPOOFF1
Want SCU8C[0x00000080]=0x1, got 0x0 from 0x00000000
Disabling signal VPOB9 for VPOOFF2
Want SCU8C[0x00000080]=0x1, got 0x0 from 0x00000000
Enabling signal GPIOS7 for GPIOS7
Muxed pin 151 as GPIOS7
gpio-943 (seq_cont): hogged as output/low
We can't skip the clock check to allow pinmux to proceed, because the write to disable VPOB9 will try to set a bit in the GFX register space which will not stick when the IP is in reset. However, we do not want to enable the IP just so pinmux can do a disable-enable dance for the pin.
