Confusion in Pad Configuration and GPIO Muxing

Hi,

I am learning few linux system level conepts and working on some
hardware related things.I want to understand

How GPIO Muxing works?

What is pad configuration?

What is "bank" and its base for any pin?

When we change in u-boot MUX_VAL() what exactly we are chaning?

How GPIO and PAD conf is related?

thanks,

Tushar

You always work with CPU registers. Read TRM for omap3530 or similar

Thanks for replying.
It means PAD conf. includes configuration of those registers,but what
is muxing?
if i have some register banks ,how this register values are reflected
to a io pin?
To which bank a gpio belongs?For configuring gpio which register to
read/write?Where to check?
Can you help me in understanding below code?
