Usage of generated dts *_GPIO_FLAGS

Diego Sueiro
 

Hello,

I'd like to know what is the usage of the *_GPIO_FLAGS macro.

For example in "dts/bindings/gpio/nxp,kinetis-gpio.yaml" file:

cell_string: GPIO
"#cells":
  - pin
  - flags

And "boards/arm/frdm_k64f/frdm_k64f.dts" file we have
gpios = <&gpioa 4 GPIO_INT_ACTIVE_LOW>;

This will generate in "zephyr/include/generated/generated_dts_board.h":
#define GPIO_KEYS_1_GPIO_CONTROLLER "GPIO_0"
#define GPIO_KEYS_1_GPIO_FLAGS_0    0
#define GPIO_KEYS_1_GPIO_PIN_0      4
#define GPIO_KEYS_1_LABEL       "User SW3"
#define GPIO_KEYS_1_GPIO_FLAGS      GPIO_KEYS_1_GPIO_FLAGS_0
#define GPIO_KEYS_1_GPIO_PIN        GPIO_KEYS_1_GPIO_PIN_0
#define SW0_GPIO_CONTROLLER     GPIO_KEYS_1_GPIO_CONTROLLER
#define SW0_GPIO_FLAGS          GPIO_KEYS_1_GPIO_FLAGS
#define SW0_GPIO_PIN            GPIO_KEYS_1_GPIO_PIN
#define SW0_LABEL           GPIO_KEYS_1_LABEL

In this example SW0_GPIO_FLAGS is not "consumed" by any source code, but  "samples/basic/button/src/main.c" application is using SW0_GPIO_CONTROLLER, SW0_GPIO_PIN and SW0_GPIO_INT_CONF.

I think we should name this gpio dts cell as "int_conf" instead of "flags", this way the dts configuration will be used in the button application, for example.
