IMX6ULL Unable to toggle GPIO

Hi. Have issue with simple GPIO toggling.

Here what I have at power up: 

 

 

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
gpiochip0: GPIOs 0-31, parent: platform/209c000.gpio, 209c000.gpio:
 gpio-19  (                    |cd                  ) in  hi
 gpio-20  (                    |spi_imx             ) out hi

gpiochip1: GPIOs 32-63, parent: platform/20a0000.gpio, 20a0000.gpio:

gpiochip2: GPIOs 64-95, parent: platform/20a4000.gpio, 20a4000.gpio:
 gpio-77  (                    |wakeup              ) out lo
 gpio-83  (                    |reset               ) out hi

gpiochip3: GPIOs 96-127, parent: platform/20a8000.gpio, 20a8000.gpio:

gpiochip4: GPIOs 128-159, parent: platform/20ac000.gpio, 20ac000.gpio:

 

 

 

Then I configure GPIO4.IO[16]:

 

 

echo "112" > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio112/direction
echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio112/value

 

 

And see that it configured:

 

 

gpiochip3: GPIOs 96-127, parent: platform/20a8000.gpio, 20a8000.gpio:
 gpio-112 (                    |sysfs               ) out hi

 

 

when I toggle it from `1` to `0`:

 

 

echo "0" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio112/value

 

 

I see that it changes in `/debug/gpio`:

 

 

gpiochip3: GPIOs 96-127, parent: platform/20a8000.gpio, 20a8000.gpio:
 gpio-112 (                    |sysfs               ) out lo

 

 

Oscilloscope shoes that it is toggles really.

 

But when I try to do same with `GPIO4.IO[11]`:

 

 

echo "107" > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio107/direction
echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio107/value

 

 

I see that it initialized:

 

 

gpiochip3: GPIOs 96-127, parent: platform/20a8000.gpio, 20a8000.gpio:
 gpio-107 (                    |sysfs               ) out hi
 gpio-112 (                    |sysfs               ) out lo

 

 

and toggles:

 

 

echo "0" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio107/value

 

 

in SW:

 

 

gpiochip3: GPIOs 96-127, parent: platform/20a8000.gpio, 20a8000.gpio:
 gpio-107 (                    |sysfs               ) out lo
 gpio-112 (                    |sysfs               ) out lo

 

 

But not in reality. Oscilloscope shows that it is remains constantly HIGH and not reacts anything on togling using `/sys/class/gpio/gpio107`

Same trouble with GPIO 109, 111, 108, 101 and 106 while 78, 112 and 110 toggles as expected.

Here is my DTS.

 


Here what I see in debug info:

I am trying to toggle at custom hardware so is it some SW issue affects such behaviour or it is only HW issue? I tested my HW and I don't get any shortings between that GPIO pads (tested using multimeter).

Any idea what might be wrong? Thank you.

 

 

EDIT.

So after reading this: https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/i-MX51-Device-Tree-GPIO-as-output/m-p/295981

Added following to dts's `pinctr_hog_1:

MX6UL_PAD_NAND_ALE__GPIO4_IO10          0x000010B0 /* General GPIO */
MX6UL_PAD_NAND_DATA03__GPIO4_IO05       0x000010B0 /* General GPIO */
MX6UL_PAD_NAND_READY_B__GPIO4_IO12      0x000010B0 /* General GPIO */
MX6UL_PAD_NAND_CLE__GPIO4_IO15          0x000010B0 /* General GPIO */
MX6UL_PAD_NAND_CE0_B__GPIO4_IO13        0x000010B0 /* General GPIO */
MX6UL_PAD_NAND_CE1_B__GPIO4_IO14        0x000010B0 /* General GPIO */
MX6UL_PAD_NAND_WP_B__GPIO4_IO11         0x000010B0 /* General GPIO */
MX6UL_PAD_NAND_DQS__GPIO4_IO16          0x000010B0 /* General GPIO */
MX6UL_PAD_LCD_DATA09__GPIO3_IO14        0x000010B0 /* General GPIO */
MX6UL_PAD_NAND_DATA00__GPIO4_IO02       0x000010B0 /* General GPIO */
MX6UL_PAD_NAND_RE_B__GPIO4_IO00         0x000010B0 /* General GPIO */
MX6UL_PAD_NAND_WE_B__GPIO4_IO01         0x000010B0 /* General GPIO */
MX6UL_PAD_NAND_DATA01__GPIO4_IO03       0x000010B0 /* General GPIO */
MX6UL_PAD_NAND_DATA02__GPIO4_IO04       0x000010B0 /* General GPIO */

After that gpio started to work as expected.

Now I need to do same for 4 more tamper gpios. So using Config Tools for i.MX Version 8.0 got following node for dts:

&iomuxc_snvs {
   pinctrl-names = "default_snvs";
   pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_hog_2>;
   imx6ul-evk {
      pinctrl_hog_2: hoggrp-2 {
         fsl,pins = <
            MX6ULL_PAD_SNVS_TAMPER1__GPIO5_IO01        0x000110A0
            MX6ULL_PAD_SNVS_TAMPER4__GPIO5_IO04        0x000110A0
            MX6ULL_PAD_SNVS_TAMPER5__GPIO5_IO05        0x000110A0
            MX6ULL_PAD_SNVS_TAMPER9__GPIO5_IO09        0x000110A0
         >;
      };
   };
};

But it throws me syntax error during dts compilation on MX6ULL_PAD_SNVS_TAMPER1__GPIO5_IO01 row.

If I replace gpio names from MX6ULL..  to MX6UL.. it compiles but stucks on kernel loading. How could I fix this?
