Ok, it's probably not as consistent as it could be. It seems that there are three categories * Vybrid SoCs According to the reference manual, they all have the gpio-vf610 hardware. Defaulting to y for SOC_VF610 makes sense. It's now possible to disable the driver if a board doesn't need it. There's a bunch of defconfigs, not sure which ones would have to enable gpio-vf610 if it weren't on by default. * imx7ulp The devicetrees show that all imx7ulp have gpio-vf610 hardware. You're right, we should use the same approach, i.e. default y if SOC_IMX7ULP and get rid of the imx_v6_v7_defconfig change. * imx8, imx9 For arm64, there are no SOC_... defines and there's only one defconfig. The devicetrees don't show clearly which chip has gpio-vf610. We're on the safe side if we enable gpio-vf610 in defconfig. Does this make sense? Martin

Sorry for the delay, other tasks got in the way. The maintainers have meanwhile merged v4. Basically, the conclusion of my last mail was that imx7ulp and soc_vf610 could be configured in the same way to make things a bit clearer. This wouldn't be much of an improvement compared to the v4 set, I'd suggest keeping the current state. Thanks, Martin

The vf610 gpio driver is enabled by default for all i.MX machines, without any option to disable it in a board-specific config file. Most i.MX chipsets have no hardware for this driver. Change the default to enable GPIO_VF610 for SOC_VF610 and disable it otherwise. Add a text description after the bool type, this makes the driver selectable by make config etc. Fixes: 30a35c07d9e9 ("gpio: vf610: drop the SOC_VF610 dependency for GPIO_VF610") Signed-off-by: Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx> --- v4: - add a new patch to enable COMPILE_TEST v3: - split the changes into three patches v2: - enable the vf610 gpio driver in the defconfig files for arm_v7 (i.MX7ULP) and arm64 (i.MX8QM, DXL, ULP and i.MX93) drivers/gpio/Kconfig | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
