Some calls to of_get_named_gpio() calls sets the flags argument to NULL because they are not interested in the flags. This caused a null pointer exception since we were unconditionally using these flags. Fix it.

Linus Walleij authored
While most GPIOs are indicated to be active low or open drain using their twocell flags, we have legacy regulator bindings to take into account. Add a quirk respecting the special boolean active-high and open drain flags when parsing regulator nodes for GPIOs. This makes it possible to get rid of duplicated inversion semantics handling in the regulator core and any regulator drivers parsing and handling this separately. Unfortunately the old regulator inversion semantics are specified such that the presence or absence of "enable-active-high" solely controls the semantics, so we cannot deprecate this in favor of the phandle-provided inversion flag, instead any such phandle inversion flag provided in the second cell of a GPIO handle must be actively ignored, so we print a warning to contain the situation and make things easy for the users.

We have been holding back on adding an API for fetching GPIO handles directly from device nodes, strongly preferring to get it from the spawn devices instead. The fwnode interface however already contains an API for doing this, as it is used for opaque device tree nodes or ACPI nodes for getting handles to LEDs and keys that use GPIO: those are specified as one child per LED/key in the device tree and are not individual devices. However regulators present a special problem as they already have helper functions to traverse the device tree from a regulator node and two levels down to fill in data, and as it already traverses GPIO nodes in its own way, and already holds a pointer to each regulators device tree node, it makes most sense to export an API to fetch the GPIO descriptor directly from the node. We only support the devm_* version for now, hopefully no non-devres version will be needed. Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>

Before it was clearly established that all GPIO properties in the device tree shall be named "foo-gpios" (with the deprecated variant "foo-gpio" for single lines) we unfortunately merged a few bindings for regulators with random phandle names. As we want to switch the GPIO regulator driver to using descriptors, we need devm_gpiod_get() to return something reasonable when looking up these in the device tree. Put in a special #ifdef:ed kludge to do this special lookup only for the regulator case and gets compiled out if we're not enabling regulators. Supply a whitelist with properties we accept.

The newly added GPIO driver for winbond chipsets causes a circular dependency warning in Kconfig: drivers/gpio/Kconfig:13:error: recursive dependency detected! drivers/gpio/Kconfig:13: symbol GPIOLIB is selected by STX104 drivers/iio/adc/Kconfig:699: symbol STX104 depends on ISA_BUS_API arch/Kconfig:830: symbol ISA_BUS_API is selected by GPIO_WINBOND drivers/gpio/Kconfig:701: symbol GPIO_WINBOND depends on GPIOLIB The underlying problem is that ISA_BUS_API is not meant to be selected by device drivers, instead it is provided by the architectures that support ISA add-on card devices, or in case of x86 have this explicitly enabled. This particular driver appears to be different from the other ISA_BUS_API based drivers, in that it is not normally an add-on card (ISA or PC104) but instead is an LPC-attached component on the mainboard. We already support other functionality provided by this chip, at least drivers/watchdog/w83627hf_wdt.c and drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.c, plus there is a discovery function for this hardware in drivers/parport/parport_pc.c. If we want to use this driver without having to enable CONFIG_EXPERT, it might be better to not use the isa_bus_type for it, but rather turn it into a platform_driver, acpi_driver or add an MFD for it that is shared with the wdt and hwmon portions and does the probing. For now, this patch fixes the dependency by changing 'select' into 'depends on'. Cc: William Breathitt Gray <vilhelm.gray@gmail.com> Cc: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Cc: Maciej S.

William Breathitt Gray authored
The ACCES PCIe-IDIO-24 device provides 56 lines of digital I/O (24 lines of optically-isolated non-polarized digital inputs for AC and DC control signals, 24 lines of isolated solid state FET digital outputs, and 8 non-isolated TTL/CMOS compatible programmable I/O). An interrupt is generated when any of the inputs change state (low to high or high to low). Input filter control is not supported by this driver, and input filters are deactivated by this driver. These devices are capable of get_multiple and set_multiple functionality, but these functions have not yet been implemented for this driver. Change-Of-State (COS) detection functionality may be configured to fire interrupts on exclusively rising/falling edges, but this driver currently only implements COS detection for either both edges or none.

This commit adds GPIO driver for Winbond Super I/Os. Currently, only W83627UHG model (also known as Nuvoton NCT6627UD) is supported but in the future a support for other Winbond models, too, can be added to the driver. A module parameter "gpios" sets a bitmask of GPIO ports to enable (bit 0 is GPIO1, bit 1 is GPIO2, etc.). One should be careful which ports one tinkers with since some might be managed by the firmware (for functions like powering on and off, sleeping, BIOS recovery, etc.) and some of GPIO port pins are physically shared with other devices included in the Super I/O chip.

Before it was clearly established that all GPIO properties in the device tree shall be named "foo-gpios" (with the deprecated variant "foo-gpio" for single lines) we unfortunately merged a few bindings which named the lines "gpio-foo" instead. This is most prominent in the GPIO SPI driver in Linux which names the lines "gpio-sck", "gpio-mosi" and "gpio-miso". As we want to switch the GPIO SPI driver to using descriptors, we need devm_gpiod_get() to return something reasonable when looking up these in the device tree. Put in a special #ifdef:ed kludge to do this special lookup only for the SPI case and gets compiled out if we're not enabling SPI. If we have more oddly defined legacy GPIOs like this, they can be handled in a similar manner. Reviewed-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>

Some GPIO lines appear named "?" in the lsgpio dump due to their requesting drivers not passing a reasonable label. Most typically this happens if a device tree node just defines gpios = <...> and not foo-gpios = <...>, the former gets named "foo" and the latter gets named "?". However the struct device passed in is always valid so let's just label the GPIO with dev_name() on the device if no proper label was passed.

pinctrl-msm only accepts an array of GPIOs from 0 to n-1, and it expects each group to support have only one pin (npins == 1). We can support "sparse" GPIO maps if we allow for some groups to have zero pins (npins == 0). These pins are "hidden" from the rest of the driver and gpiolib. Access to unavailable GPIOs is blocked via a request callback. If the requested GPIO is unavailable, -EACCES is returned, which prevents further access to that GPIO.

The GPIO 'value' attribute is time critical. A small bench with 'perf record' on the app below shows that 80% of the time spent in sysfs_kf_seq_show() is spent in memset() for zeroising the buffer. |--67.48%--sysfs_kf_seq_show | | | |--54.40%--memset | | | |--11.49%--dev_attr_show | | | | | |--10.06%--value_show | | | | | | | |--4.75%--sprintf | | | | | This patch changes the attribute type to prealloc, eliminating the need to zeroise the buffer at each read. 'perf record' gives the following result. |--42.41%--sysfs_kf_read | | | |--39.73%--dev_attr_show | | | | | |--38.23%--value_show | | | | | | | |--29.22%--sprintf | | | | | Test done with the following small app: int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY); for (;;) { int buf[512]; read(fd, buf, 512); lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET); } exit(0); } Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>

Users often pass a pointer to a static string to gpiochip_add_data() family of functions. Avoid unnecessary memory allocations with the provided helper routine. While at it: use a ternary operator instead of an if else for brevity. Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski <brgl@bgdev.pl> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
