Hi,
Trying to add more information regarding the newly added descriptors and describe how they are used now within the mikroBUS driver.

The mikrobus descriptor is used to pass information about the specific pinmux settings and the default GPIO states on the mikrobus port to be set up for the add-on board to work correctly, this descriptor has 12 u8 fields(corresponding to the 12 pins on the mikrobus port) which includes information about the prior setup required on the mikroBUS port for the device(s) on the add-on board to work correctly. The mikrobus descriptor is a fixed-length descriptor and there will be only a single instance of mikrobus descriptor per add-on board manifest.
GREYBUS_TYPE_PROPERTY = 0x06,
The property descriptors are used to pass named properties to the device drivers through the Unified device property interface under linux/property.h , so that device drivers using the device_property_read_* call can get the named properties, the mikrobus driver fetches the information from the manifest binary and forms a corresponding `struct property_entry` which will be attached to the `struct device`. The property descriptor is a variable-length descriptor similar to the string descriptor and there can be multiple instances of property descriptor per add-on board manifest.
GREYBUS_TYPE_DEVICE = 0x07,
The device descriptor is used to describe a device on the mikrobus port and has necessary fields from `struct i2c_board_info` and `struct spi_board_info` to describe a device on these buses in a mikrobus port, even though SPI/I2C device info structs are used this descriptor has enough information to describe other kinds of devices relevant to mikrobus as well.(serdev/platform devices). The device descriptor is a fixed-length descriptor and there can be multiple instances of device descriptors in an add-on board manifest in cases where the add-on board presents more than one device to the host.

These 12 u8 fields describe the state of the pins in the mikrobus port(in clock wise order starting from the PWM pin) mikrobus v2 standard specification : https://download.mikroe.com/documents/standards/mikrobus/mikrobus-standard-s... This struct is filled from the mikrobus-descriptor in the manifest and can have one of the values for each pin group: MIKROBUS_STATE_INPUT = 0x01, MIKROBUS_STATE_OUTPUT_HIGH = 0x02, MIKROBUS_STATE_OUTPUT_LOW = 0x03, MIKROBUS_STATE_PWM = 0x04, ( applicable only to PWM pin) MIKROBUS_STATE_SPI = 0x05, ( applicable only to the group of MOSI, MISO, SCK , CS pins on mikroBUS port) MIKROBUS_STATE_I2C = 0x06, (applicable only to the SCL, SDA pins on the mikrobus port) MIKROBUS_STATE_UART = 0x07,(applicable only to the RX, TX pins on the mikrobus port) There are two purposes for adding this descriptor, 1) for some add-on boards some of the pins might need to be configured as GPIOs deviating from their reserved purposes An example for this case is an SHT15 Click (https://www.mikroe.com/sht1x-click), where the SCL and SDA Pins need to be configured as GPIOs for the driver (drivers/hwmon/sht15.c) to work. The mikrobus descriptor for this case would look like this : [mikrobus-descriptor] pwm-state = 4 (default, pwm) int-state = 1 (default, input) rx-state = 7 (default, uart) tx-state = 7 (default, uart) scl-state = 3 (note the SCL Pin configured as GPIO) sda-state = 3 (note the SCL Pin configured as GPIO) mosi-state = 5 (default, spi) miso-state = 5 (default, spi) sck-state = 5 (default, spi) cs-state = 5 (default, spi) rst-state = 2 (default, GPIO) an-state = 1 (default, input) 2) for some add-on boards the driver may not take care of some additional signals like reset/wake-up/other thus the mikrobus driver can set-up these GPIOs to a required default state from the information from the manifest, a good example for this is the ENC28J60 click (https://www.mikroe.com/eth-click) where the reset line(RST pin on the mikrobus port) needs to be pulled high. The manifest example for this add-on board can be found here : https://github.com/vaishnav98/manifesto/blob/mikrobusv3/manifests/ETH-CLICK....

This descriptor is used to fill in `struct property_entry` (linux/property.h), the propname_stringid field is used to map to the corresponding string descriptor which has the property name, the type field has the types under dev_prop_type (linux/property.h) and there are some new types which are used within the mikrobus driver, these are the new types : MIKROBUS_PROPERTY_TYPE_LINK = 0x01 MIKROBUS_PROPERTY_TYPE_GPIO = 0x02
The property-link type is used to attach an array of properties to the corresponding device, for example, consider an SPI EEPROM device which works with the AT25 driver( drivers/misc/eeprom/at25.c), The device and property descriptor parts of the manifest will look like this.
[device-descriptor 1] driver-string-id = 3 prop-link = 1 (The ID of the property-descriptor which contains the list of IDs of the actual properties to attach with the device) protocol = 0xb reg = 0 mode = 0x3 max-speed-hz = 5000000 [string-descriptor 3] string = at25 (driver string)
[property-descriptor 1] name-string-id = 4 type = 0x01 (type is property-link) value = <2 3 4>(attach properties with id 2,3,4 to the device) [string-descriptor 4] string = prop-link
[property-descriptor 2] name-string-id = 5 (string id for the property name string) type = 0x05 (U32, driver uses device_property_read_u32 call to read the value) value = <262144> [string-descriptor 5] string = size (property name string)
[property-descriptor 3] name-string-id = 6 type = 0x05 value = <256> [string-descriptor 6] string = pagesize
[property-descriptor 4] name-string-id = 7 type = 0x05 value = <24> [string-descriptor 7] string = address-width
The gpio-link type is very similar to property descriptor and is used to pass an array of named gpios to the device driver through GPIO lookup tables, consider an example for a SHT15 device (drivers/hwmon/sht15.c), the device and the property(gpio) descriptors are as follows :
[device-descriptor 1] driver-string-id = 3 protocol = 0xfe reg = 0 gpio-link = 1 (The ID of the property-descriptor which contains the list of IDs of the named gpio properties to attach with the device)
[string-descriptor 3] string = sht11 (device_id string)
[property-descriptor 1] name-string-id = 4 type = 0x02 (gpio-link) value = <2 3> (attach properties with id 2,3 as named gpios to the device) [string-descriptor 4] string = gpio-link
[property-descriptor 2] name-string-id = 5 type = 0x03 value = <4> [string-descriptor 5] string = clk (name of the GPIO, the driver uses devm_gpiod_get or similar calls to get the GPIO)
[property-descriptor 3] name-string-id = 6 type = 0x03 value = <5> [string-descriptor 6] string = data
Note that the values here 4 and 5 for the GPIOs are the offset numbers(clockwise starting from PWM pin) within a mikrobus port, the mikrobus drivers translates this offset information to the actual GPIO while creating the GPIO lookup table, this ensures that the manifest doesn't have any port-specific information and a single manifest can be used for an add-on board over different platforms/sockets.

The device descriptor is used to describe a device on the mikrobus port and has necessary fields from `struct i2c_board_info` and `struct spi_board_info`, of these fields, the irq field is similar to the gpio descriptor value above in that the value under irq is also the pin offset within the mikrobus port which will be translated to the actual GPIO within the mikrobus driver and the irq-type takes types defined under linux/interrupt.h . For a device with a IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING interrupt on the INT pin on the mikrobus port the fields will be : irq = 1 (offset of INT pin) irq_type = 1 ( IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING)
