[RESEND,1/6,v13] gpio: Add a block GPIO API to gpiolib

Commit Message

Stijn Devriendt Jan. 18, 2013, 12:13 p.m. UTC

Hi Roland,

This mail has been long overdue due to issues with some internal
permission-tool.
Just to be clear, this is not a competing implementation, it's what we
currently use as-is. I'm just posting this as a reference to see if
perhaps more concepts could be reused. It's based on a 2.6.32 kernel.

It includes:
- labels in sysfs (to provide useful names to userspace)
- gpio group support
- exporting individual/groups of gpios dictated by platform-data or device-tree
- open-drain support (different from mainline)
- examplary support for multi-gpio to pcf8575 driver
- gpio_direction_output_keep() function that prevents toggling when
changing direction

Thanks for posting.

Except for open-drain support, everything in the above list is supported
in the last posted version of block GPIO.

So please tell if there are certain details you would like to discuss
about or need an alternative implementation.

Thanks in advance,

Roland

Hi Stijn,

Thanks for posting this. As you say it isn't in a mergable state and
there are a lot if individual features lumped into a single patch where
some of them could be split out as seperate patches. Open-drain support
for instance is something that should be investigated.

However, the one thing I do want to raise (and I have this concern when
reading Roland's series too) is that I'm going to be very cautious about
extending the sysfs interface. Aside from the fact that the current
interface is buggy, it also potientially exposes far too much control
over hardware into userspace. I do see the advantages of a group
interface to a block of GPIO pins, but the details about how it is
accomplished are really key.

I'm in the process of reviewing Roland's patches now, and I'll respond
to his series with specifics.
