2018-01-01Input: gpio_tilt - delete driverLinus Walleij1-5/+0
This driver was merged in 2011 as a tool for detecting the orientation of a screen. The device driver assumes board file setup using the platform data from <linux/input/gpio_tilt.h>. But no boards in the kernel tree defines this platform data. As I am faced with refactoring drivers to use GPIO descriptors and pass decriptor tables from boards, or use the device tree device drivers like these creates a serious problem: I cannot fix them and cannot test them, not even compile-test them with a system actually using it (no in-tree boardfile). I suggest to delete this driver and rewrite it using device tree if it is still in use on actively maintained systems. I can also offer to rewrite it out of the blue using device tree if someone promise to test it and help me iterate it.

2017-10-19gpio: Introduce ->get_multiple callbackLukas Wunner1-11/+30
SPI-attached GPIO controllers typically read out all inputs in one go. If callers desire the values of multipe inputs, ideally a single readout should take place to return the desired values. However the current driver API only offers a ->get callback but no ->get_multiple (unlike ->set_multiple, which is present). Thus, to read multiple inputs, a full readout needs to be performed for every single value (barring driver-internal caching), which is inefficient. In fact, the lack of a ->get_multiple callback has been bemoaned repeatedly by the gpio subsystem maintainer: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-gpio/msg10571.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg121734.html Introduce the missing callback. Add corresponding consumer functions such as gpiod_get_array_value(). Amend linehandle_ioctl() to take advantage of the newly added infrastructure. Update the documentation.

2017-08-28Input: PS/2 gpio bit banging driver for serio busDanilo Krummrich1-0/+5
This driver provides PS/2 serio bus support by implementing bit banging with the GPIO API. The GPIO pins, data and clock, can be configured with a node in the device tree or by generic device properties (GDP). Writing to a device is supported as well, though it is possible timings can not be halt as they are tough and difficult to reach with bit banging. Therefore it can be configured (also in DT and GDP) whether the serio write function should be available for clients. This driver is for development purposes and not recommended for productive use. However, this driver can be useful e.g. when no USB port is available or using old peripherals is desired as PS/2 controller chips getting rare. This driver was tested on bcm2825 and on Kirin 960 and it worked well together with the atkbd and psmouse driver.

2017-03-15gpio: return NULL from gpiod_get_optional when GPIOLIB is disabledDmitry Torokhov1-0/+6
Given the intent behind gpiod_get_optional() and friends it does not make sense to return -ENOSYS when GPIOLIB is disabled: the driver is expected to work just fine without gpio so let's behave as if gpio was not found. Otherwise we have to special-case -ENOSYS in drivers. Note that there was objection that someone might forget to enable GPIOLIB when dealing with a platform that has device that actually specifies optional gpio and we'll break it. I find this unconvincing as that would have to be the *only GPIO* in the system, which is extremely unlikely.

2017-01-26pinctrl / gpio: Introduce .set_config() callback for GPIO chipsMika Westerberg1-4/+5
Currently we already have two pin configuration related callbacks available for GPIO chips .set_single_ended() and .set_debounce(). In future we expect to have even more, which does not scale well if we need to add yet another callback to the GPIO chip structure for each possible configuration parameter. Better solution is to reuse what we already have available in the generic pinconf. To support this, we introduce a new .set_config() callback for GPIO chips. The callback takes a single packed pin configuration value as parameter. This can then be extended easily beyond what is currently supported by just adding new types to the generic pinconf enum. If the GPIO driver is backed up by a pinctrl driver the GPIO driver can just assign gpiochip_generic_config() (introduced in this patch) to .set_config and that will take care configuration requests are directed to the pinctrl driver. We then convert the existing drivers over .set_config() and finally remove the .set_single_ended() and .set_debounce() callbacks.

2016-11-25gpio: simplify adding threaded interruptsLinus Walleij1-26/+36
This tries to simplify the use of CONFIG_GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP when using threaded interrupts: add a new call gpiochip_irqchip_add_nested() to indicate that we're dealing with a nested rather than a chained irqchip, then create a separate gpiochip_set_nested_irqchip() to mirror the gpiochip_set_chained_irqchip() call to connect the parent and child interrupts. In the nested case gpiochip_set_nested_irqchip() does nothing more than call irq_set_parent() on each valid child interrupt, which has little semantic effect in the kernel, but this is probably still formally correct. Update all drivers using nested interrupts to use gpiochip_irqchip_add_nested() so we can now see clearly which these users are. The DLN2 driver can drop its specific hack with .irq_not_threaded as we now recognize whether a chip is threaded or not from its use of gpiochip_irqchip_add_nested() signature rather than from inspecting .can_sleep. We rename the .irq_parent to .irq_chained_parent since this parent IRQ is only really kept around for the chained interrupt handlers.

2016-09-23gpiolib: Make it possible to exclude GPIOs from IRQ domainMika Westerberg1-0/+6
When using GPIO irqchip helpers to setup irqchip for a gpiolib based driver, it is not possible to select which GPIOs to add to the IRQ domain. Instead it just adds all GPIOs which is not always desired. For example there might be GPIOs that for some reason cannot generated normal interrupts at all. To support this we add a flag irq_need_valid_mask to struct gpio_chip. When this flag is set the core allocates irq_valid_mask that holds one bit for each GPIO the chip has. By default all bits are set but drivers can manipulate this using set_bit() and clear_bit() accordingly. Then when gpiochip_irqchip_add() is called, this mask is checked and all GPIOs with bit is set are added to the IRQ domain created for the GPIO chip.

2015-06-04fix documentation after renaming gpiod_set_array to gpiod_set_array_valueRojhalat Ibrahim1-14/+14
Patch "gpiolib: rename gpiod_set_array to gpiod_set_array_value" omitted to also change the function names in the documentation. Let's fix that. Signed-off-by: Rojhalat Ibrahim <imr@rtschenk.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>

2015-05-12gpio: remove gpiod_sysfs_set_active_lowJohan Hovold2-17/+0
Remove gpiod_sysfs_set_active_low (and gpio_sysfs_set_active_low) which allowed code to change the polarity of a gpio line even after it had been exported through sysfs. Drivers should not care, and generally does not know, about gpio-line polarity which is a hardware feature that needs to be described by firmware. It is currently possible to define gpio-line polarity in device-tree and acpi firmware or using platform data. Userspace can also change the polarity through sysfs. Note that drivers using the legacy gpio interface could still use GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW to change the polarity before exporting the gpio. There are no in-kernel users of this interface.
