[PATCH v2 1/2] gpio: Add driver for Zynq GPIO controller

Wed Jun 18 08:36:52 PDT 2014

Hi Linus,

I did some of the changes for this v2 and a few things are not clear to
me.

The first is, how is userspace supposed to find the correct offset for a
GPIO pin. E.g. let's say GPIO 10 of this SOC-internal GPIO controller is
something I want to control. So, I'd export GPIO (chip-base + 10). But
this chip-base seems pretty variable. v1 of this patch had it hardcoded
to 0, which resulted in a predictable offset, but apparently was utterly
wrong. Now I see an offset of 138 for this chip when using my config.
And when I use multi_v7_defconfig the offset is somewhere in the 800s,
IIRC. The best I found was the 'label' in the gpiochip's sysfs entry,
but documentation says that is not necessarily unique, and parsing labes
seems sub-optimal too.

The second issue is a stack trace (below) I see when triggering
interrupts (e.g. echo rising > edge; and then pushing the connected
button). Looking at the stack trace, I don't see an obvious error (I
think I pretty much copied the IRQ registration from the gpio-pl061.c
driver you mentioned). Is this an issue in this driver or the core code?
This happens on Linus' latest tip. Despite all this chatter the system
still works and doesn't not seem to lock up.

Here the stack trace:
