Hi Haojian, If you switch gpio to module level, and as some modules use gpios in their init path, isn't it possible that some modules will fail their init, as GPIO API won't provide the gpio_*_value() functions ? Cheers. -- Robert

At that time, gpio driver should be launched properly. Regards Haojian

However it is not uncommon for modules to have untested errorpaths, such as: ret = gpio_request(12); if (ret) return -ENODEV; So you will not know before you test. Then it is often common to have memory leaks in the errorpath... So Tested-by: tags are appreciated. Yours, Linus Walleij

gpio & pinctrl driver are used together. The pinctrl driver is already launched before gpio driver in Makefile. So set gpio driver to module init level. Otherwise, the sequence will be inverted.
