Add a new internal mechanism to gpiolib to support low power
operations by letting gpio_chip instances see when their GPIOs
are in use. When no GPIOs are active, chips may be able to
enter lower powered runtime states by disabling clocks and/or
power domains.Signed-off-by: David Brownell

Add a new gpiolib mechanism: gpio_chip instances can provide mappings
between their (input) GPIOs and any associated IRQs. This makes it easier
for platforms to support IRQs that are provided by board-specific external
chips instead of as part of their core (such as SOC-integrated GPIOs).Also update the irq_to_gpio() description, saying to avoid it because it's
not always supported.Signed-off-by: David Brownell

This patch adds functionality to the gpio-lib subsystem to make it
possible to enable the gpio-lib code even if the architecture code didn't
request to get it built in.The archtitecture code does still need to implement the gpiolib accessor
functions in its asm/gpio.h file. This patch adds the implementations for
x86 and PPC.With these changes it is possible to run generic GPIO expansion cards on
every architecture that implements the trivial wrapper functions. Support
for more architectures can easily be added.Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch

This adds a simple sysfs interface for GPIOs.
/sys/class/gpio
/export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace
/unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel
/gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N
/value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs
/direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write high, low
/gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO
/base ... (r/o) same as N
/label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique
/ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N .. N+(ngpio - 1)GPIOs claimed by kernel code may be exported by its owner using a new
gpio_export() call, which should be most useful for driver debugging.
Such exports may optionally be done without a "direction" attribute.Userspace may ask to take over a GPIO by writing to a sysfs control file,
helping to cope with incomplete board support or other "one-off"
requirements that don't merit full kernel support:echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/export
... will gpio_request(23, "sysfs") and gpio_export(23);
use /sys/class/gpio/gpio-23/direction to (re)configure it,
when that GPIO can be used as both input and output.
echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
... will gpio_free(23), when it was exported as aboveThe extra D-space footprint is a few hundred bytes, except for the sysfs
resources associated with each exported GPIO. The additional I-space
footprint is about two thirds of the current size of gpiolib (!). Since
no /dev node creation is involved, no "udev" support is needed.Related changes:
* This adds a device pointer to "struct gpio_chip". When GPIO
providers initialize that, sysfs gpio class devices become children of
that device instead of being "virtual" devices.* The (few) gpio_chip providers which have such a device node have
been updated.* Some gpio_chip drivers also needed to update their module "owner"
field ... for which missing kerneldoc was added.* Some gpio_chips don't support input GPIOs. Those GPIOs are now
flagged appropriately when the chip is registered.Based on previous patches, and discussion both on and off LKML.
A Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-gpio update is ready to submit once this
merges to mainline.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: a few maintenance build fixes]

Add a defining fail/warn stubs for GPIO calls on platforms that
don't support the GPIO programming interface. That includes the arch-specific
implementation glue otherwise.This facilitates a new model for GPIO usage: drivers that can use GPIOs if
they're available, but don't require them. One example of such a driver is
NAND driver for various FreeScale chips. On platforms update with GPIO
support, they can be used instead of a worst-case delay to verify that the
BUSY signal is off.(Also includes a couple minor unrelated doc updates.)

Clarify that drivers using the GPIO operations don't need to issue io
barrier instructions themselves. Previously this wasn't clear, and at
least one platform assumed otherwise (and would thus break various
otherwise-portable drivers which don't issue barriers).Signed-off-by: David Brownell

Loosen gpio_{request,free}() and gpio_direction_{in,out}put() call context
restrictions slightly, so a common idiom is no longer an error: board init
code setting up spinlock-safe GPIOs before tasking is enabled.The issue was caught by some paranoid code with might_sleep() checks. The
legacy platform-specific GPIO interfaces stick to spinlock-safe GPIOs, so this
change reflects current implementations and won't break anything.Signed-off-by: David Brownell

It's been pointed out that output GPIOs should have an initial value, to
avoid signal glitching ... among other things, it can be some time before
a driver is ready. This patch corrects that oversight, fixing- documentation
- platforms supporting the GPIO interface
- users of that call (just one for now, others are pending)There's only one user of this call for now since most platforms are still
using non-generic GPIO setup code, which in most cases already couples the
initial value with its "set output mode" request.Note that most platforms are clear about the hardware letting the output
value be set before the pin direction is changed, but the s3c241x docs are
vague on that topic ... so those chips might not avoid the glitches.Signed-off-by: David Brownell

This defines a simple and minimalist programming interface for GPIO APIs:
- Documentation/gpio.txt ... describes things (read it)
- include/asm-arm/gpio.h ... defines the ARM hook, which just punts
to for any implementation- include/asm-generic/gpio.h ... implement "can sleep" variants as calling
the normal ones, for systems that don't handle i2c expanders.The immediate need for such a cross-architecture API convention is to support
drivers that work the same on AT91 ARM and AVR32 AP7000 chips, which embed many
of the same controllers but have different CPUs. However, several other users
have been reported, including a driver for a hardware watchdog chip and some
handhelds.org multi-CPU button drivers.Signed-off-by: David Brownell
