PATCH 1/1 pxa: Remove unused MFP LPM definition

MFP_LPM_INPUT snuck in some time ago as part of "[PATCH] pxa: better MFP low power state support for pxa25x/pxa27x", but went unused in the final revision of said patch. Using it on PXA3xx would cause an out-of-bounds access of mfpr_table[]. Let's remove it before someone gets hurt.

Instead of removing this potentially useful low power mode pin status, what about the following patch:

Instead of removing this potentially useful low power mode pin status, what about the following patch:

I think the name itself is confusing. All of the other MFP_LPM_ definitions state what the pin is going to do: drive high/low, pull high/low, or float. My (strictly document-derived) understanding of PXA27x is that you can only choose to drive or float a pin, while with PXA3xx you can do all of the above. What would MFP_LPM_INPUT do that MFP_LPM_FLOAT wouldn't?

If I read this correctly, _DEFAULT will, on entry to LPM, change the pin direction to the one implied by bit 23 (MFP_DIR_IN/MFP_DIR_OUT). For _INPUT to live up to its name, maybe it should always float the pin, like this:

Also, I'm not sure what effect GAFR will have (if any) in LPM. Does the AF have to be set to GPIO to enable the PGSR/GPDR settings? Your original patch did just that:

This adds a bug, which I've been trying to find the right way to fix. It's the same case as MFPR_LPM_DEFAULT.

I'm currently not sure of how input is implemented in pxa27x during low power mode, but strictly, input != float. While float is usually a Hi-Z without pull-up or pull-down, input could be different. That's why I still intend to keep input there.

This looks odd to me as well, yet the setting is derived from some piece of code long time ago, which I have no way to track. But yes, feel free to submit patch for this. I'm yet not sure enough about which low power state is most power conserving, before that's figured out, I guess _FLOAT is a choice as it imposes minimum external effect at least.

blob I'd say - but that's definitely not sexy. u-boot, on the other hand, you can ask Marek for detail, he's managed to get it running on littleton now. (I've got him CC'ed)
