         * - Name
           - Type
           - Details

         * - ``ngpios``
           - ``int``
           - .. code-block:: none

                This property indicates the number of in-use slots of available slots
                for GPIOs. The typical example is something like this: the hardware
                register is 32 bits wide, but only 18 of the bits have a physical
                counterpart. The driver is generally written so that all 32 bits can
                be used, but the IP block is reused in a lot of designs, some using
                all 32 bits, some using 18 and some using 12. In this case, setting
                "ngpios = <18>;" informs the driver that only the first 18 GPIOs, at
                local offset 0 .. 17, are in use.  For cases in which there might be
                holes in the slot range, this value should be the max slot number-1.



             This property is **required**.

             Default value: ``32``

             Constant value: ``8``

         * - ``int-gpios``
           - ``phandle-array``
           - .. code-block:: none

                GPIO connected to the controller INT pin. This pin is active-low.



         * - ``reset-gpios``
           - ``phandle-array``
           - .. code-block:: none

                GPIO connected to the controller RESET pin. This pin is active-low.



         * - ``#gpio-cells``
           - ``int``
           - .. code-block:: none

                Number of items to expect in a GPIO specifier


             This property is **required**.

             Constant value: ``2``

         * - ``supply-gpios``
           - ``phandle-array``
           - .. code-block:: none

                GPIO specifier that controls power to the device.

                This property should be provided when the device has a dedicated
                switch that controls power to the device.  The supply state is
                entirely the responsibility of the device driver.

                Contrast with vin-supply.



         * - ``vin-supply``
           - ``phandle``
           - .. code-block:: none

                Reference to the regulator that controls power to the device.
                The referenced devicetree node must have a regulator compatible.

                This property should be provided when device power is supplied
                by a shared regulator.  The supply state is dependent on the
                request status of all devices fed by the regulator.

                Contrast with supply-gpios.  If both properties are provided
                then the regulator must be requested before the supply GPIOS is
                set to an active state, and the supply GPIOS must be set to an
                inactive state before releasing the regulator.



         * - ``gpio-controller``
           - ``boolean``
           - .. code-block:: none

                Convey's this node is a GPIO controller


             This property is **required**.

         * - ``gpio-reserved-ranges``
           - ``array``
           - .. code-block:: none

                If not all the GPIOs at offsets 0...N-1 are usable for ngpios = <N>, then
                this property contains an additional set of tuples which specify which GPIOs
                are unusable. This property indicates the start and size of the GPIOs
                that can't be used.

                For example, setting "gpio-reserved-ranges = <3 2>, <10 1>;" means that
                GPIO offsets 3, 4, and 10 are not usable, even if ngpios = <18>.



         * - ``gpio-line-names``
           - ``string-array``
           - .. code-block:: none

                This is an array of strings defining the names of the GPIO lines
                going out of the GPIO controller
