linux-stable.git/arch/powerpc/sysdev/simple_gpio.h, branch linux-3.4.y Linux kernel stable tree powerpc: Implement GPIO driver for simple memory-mapped banks 2008-12-30T17:13:45+00:00 Anton Vorontsov avorontsov@ru.mvista.com 2008-12-18T16:37:26+00:00 3d64de9c50619d32eb71d993d23a50b98d12d3c0 The driver supports very simple GPIO controllers, that is, when a controller provides just a 'data' register. Such controllers may be found in various BCSRs (Board's FPGAs used to control board's switches, LEDs, chip-selects, Ethernet/USB PHY power, etc). So far we support only 1-byte GPIO banks. Support for other widths may be implemented when/if needed. p.s. To avoid "made up" compatible entries (like compatible = "simple-gpio"), boards must call simple_gpiochip_init() to pass the compatible string.
