[PATCH 0/6 v10] gpio: Add block GPIO

Roland Stigge stigge at antcom.de
Thu Dec 6 16:47:30 EST 2012


This set of patches adds:

* Block GPIO API to gpiolib
* Sysfs support for GPIO API, to provide userland access
* Device interface for userland access (alternative to sysfs)
* Devicetree support to instantiate GPIO blocks via DT
* Example implementations in several gpio drivers since they need
  special accessor functions for block wise GPIO access
* Fix for race condition in gpiolib on device creation

Changed since v9:
* Changed IRQ flags for device interface's poll() from IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING
  to IRQF_SHARED
* Use block name on gpio_request
* Added spinlock for ISR manipulated data (dev interface / poll())

Changed since v8:
* Added poll() function to dev interface for IRQ handling
* Fixed gpio_block_register() in case of missing CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS
* Fixed mask handling in sysfs interface
* Fixed get_user/put_user pointer (cast)

Changes since v7:
* Fixed error in API documentation (name arg missing in prototype)
* Fixed compile error if sysfs is missing: Moved gpio_block_is_output()
  out of sysfs-ifdef
* Added error handling to gpio_block_register()
* Added mask attribute to sysfs (although dev interface exists now)

Changes since v6:
* Changed realloc to list handling
* Added mask to kernel API
* Added device interface as userspace API
* Changed sizeof() to BITS_PER_LONG
* Fixed multiline comment style
* Documented direction setting by the user
* Documented order of handled chips in case of multiple chips in one block

Changes since v5:
* Documented sysfs: elaborated on "exported" and "values" attributes
* Documented sysfs: gpiochip is a separate class now
* Aggregated driver support patches for block gpio into one single patch
* Added gpio block driver support for twl6040 and pch

Changes since v4:
* Documented word width
* Bugfix: export/unexport on register/unregister
* Using default dev_attrs for gpio_block_class
* Fix gpiolib: race condition on device creation
* Added driver support for ucb14500, vt8500, xilinx

Changes since v3:
* Added driver support for pca953x, em, pl061, max732x, pcf857x
* Coding style improvements
* Fixed krealloc memory leak in error case
* sysfs: values in hex
* Register blocks in a list
* Narrowing lock scope
* Use S_IWUSR and S_IRUGO instead of direct octal values
* Use for_each_set_bit()
* Change from unsigned to unsigned long for masks and values

Changes since v2:
* Added sysfs support
* Added devicetree support
* Added support for lpc32xx, generic
* Added functions for GPIO block registration
* Added more error checking
* Bit remapping bugfix

Changes since v1:
* API change to 32/64 bit word, bit masks
