gpio: board.txt: Fix the gpio name example

2015-01-28T18:14:00+00:00

As explained in this file:

"GPIOs mappings are defined in the consumer device's node, in a property named
-gpios"

So fix the example to match the convention.

Pull take two of the GPIO updates:
 "Same stuff as last time, now with a fixup patch for the previous
  compile error plus I ran a few extra rounds of compile-testing.

  This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.19 series:

   - A new API that allows setting more than one GPIO at the time.  This
     is implemented for the new descriptor-based API only and makes it
     possible to e.g. toggle a clock and data line at the same time, if
     the hardware can do this with a single register write.  Both
     consumers and drivers need new calls, and the core will fall back
     to driving individual lines where needed.  Implemented for the
     MPC8xxx driver initially

   - Patched the mdio-mux-gpio and the serial mctrl driver that drives
     modems to use the new multiple-setting API to set several signals
     simultaneously

   - Get rid of the global GPIO descriptor array, and instead allocate
     descriptors dynamically for each GPIO on a certain GPIO chip.  This
     moves us closer to getting rid of the limitation of using the
     global, static GPIO numberspace

   - New driver and device tree bindings for 74xx ICs

   - New driver and device tree bindings for the VF610 Vybrid

   - Support the RCAR r8a7793 and r8a7794

   - Guidelines for GPIO device tree bindings trying to get things a bit
     more strict with the advent of combined device properties

   - Suspend/resume support for the MVEBU driver

   - A slew of minor fixes and improvements"

gpiolib: allow simultaneous setting of multiple GPIO outputs

2014-11-27T14:01:18+00:00

Introduce new functions gpiod_set_array & gpiod_set_raw_array to the consumer
interface which allow setting multiple outputs with just one function call.
Also add an optional set_multiple function to the driver interface. Without an
implementation of that function in the chip driver outputs are set
sequentially.

Implementing the set_multiple function in a chip driver allows for:
- Improved performance for certain use cases. The original motivation for this
  was the task of configuring an FPGA. In that specific case, where 9 GPIO
  lines have to be set many times, configuration time goes down from 48 s to
  20 s when using the new function.
- Simultaneous glitch-free setting of multiple pins on any kind of parallel
  bus attached to GPIOs provided they all reside on the same chip and bank.

Limitations:
  Performance is only improved for normal high-low outputs. Open drain and
  open source outputs are always set separately from each other. Those kinds
  of outputs could probably be accelerated in a similar way if we could
  forgo the error checking when setting GPIO directions.

Change log:
  v6: - rebase on current linux-gpio devel branch
  v5: - check can_sleep property per chip
      - remove superfluous checks
      - supplement documentation
  v4: - add gpiod_set_array function for setting logical values
      - change interface of the set_multiple driver function to use
        unsigned long as type for the bit fields
      - use generic bitops (which also use unsigned long for bit fields)
      - do not use ARCH_NR_GPIOS any more
  v3: - add documentation
      - change commit message
  v2: - use descriptor interface
      - allow arbitrary groups of GPIOs spanning multiple chips

Pull GPIO changes from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.18 development cycle:

   - Increase the default ARCH_NR_GPIO from 256 to 512.  This was done
     to avoid having a custom  header for the x86
     architecture - GPIO is custom and complicated enough as it is
     already! We want to move to a radix to store the descriptors going
     forward, and finally get rid of this fixed array size altogether.

   - Endgame patching of the gpio_remove() semantics initiated by
     Abdoulaye Berthe.  It is not accepted by the system that the
     removal of a GPIO chip fails during eg reboot or shutdown, and
     therefore the return value has now painfully been refactored away.
     For special cases like GPIO expanders on a hot-pluggable bus like
     USB, we may later add some gpiochip_try_remove() call, but for the
     cases we have now, return values are moot.

   - Some incremental refactoring of the gpiolib core and ACPI GPIO
     library for more descriptor usage.

   - Refactor the chained IRQ handler set-up method to handle also
     threaded, nested interrupts and set up the parent IRQ correctly.
     Switch STMPE and TC3589x drivers to use this registration method.

   - Add a .irq_not_threaded flag to the struct gpio_chip, so that also
     GPIO expanders that block but are still not using threaded IRQ
     handlers.

   - New drivers for the ARM64 X-Gene SoC GPIO controller.

   - The syscon GPIO driver has been improved to handle the "DSP GPIO"
     found on the TI Keystone 2 SoC:s.

   - ADNP driver switched to use gpiolib irqchip helpers.

   - Refactor the DWAPB driver to support being instantiated from and
     MFD cell (platform device).

   - Incremental feature improvement in the Zynq, MCP23S08, DWAPB, OMAP,
     Xilinx and Crystalcove drivers.

   - Various minor fixes"

gpio: handle also nested irqchips in the chained handler set-up

2014-09-26T12:39:08+00:00

To unify how we connect cascaded IRQ chips to parent IRQs, if
NULL us passed as handler to the gpiochip_set_chained_irqchip()
function, assume the chips is nested rather than chained, and
we still get the parent set up correctly by way of this function
call.

Alter the drivers for tc3589x and stmpe to use this to set up
their chained handlers as a demonstration of the usage.

gpio: change gpiochip_request_own_desc() prototype

2014-08-29T06:58:34+00:00

The current prototype of gpiochip_request_own_desc() requires to obtain
a pointer to a descriptor. This is in contradiction to all other GPIO
request schemes, and imposes an extra step of obtaining a descriptor to
drivers. Most drivers actually cannot even perform that step since the
function that does it (gpichip_get_desc()) is gpiolib-private.

Change gpiochip_request_own_desc() to return a descriptor from a
(chip, hwnum) tuple and update users of this function (currently
gpiolib-acpi only).

gpio: add flags argument to gpiod_get*() functions

2014-07-28T10:28:05+00:00

The huge majority of GPIOs have their direction and initial value set
right after being obtained by one of the gpiod_get() functions. The
integer GPIO API had gpio_request_one() that took a convenience flags
parameter allowing to specify an direction and value applied to the
returned GPIO. This feature greatly simplifies client code and ensures
errors are always handled properly.

A similar feature has been requested for the gpiod API. Since setting
the direction of a GPIO is so often the very next action done after
obtaining its descriptor, we prefer to extend the existing functions
instead of introducing new functions that would raise the
number of gpiod getters to 16 (!).

The drawback of this approach is that all gpiod clients need to be
updated. To limit the pain, temporary macros are introduced that allow
gpiod_get*() to be called with or without the extra flags argument. They
will be removed once all consumer code has been updated.
