This adds a simple sysfs interface for GPIOs.
/sys/class/gpio
/export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace
/unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel
/gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N
/value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs
/direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write high, low
/gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO
/base ... (r/o) same as N
/label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique
/ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N .. N+(ngpio - 1)
GPIOs claimed by kernel code may be exported by its owner using a new
gpio_export() call, which should be most useful for driver debugging.
Such exports may optionally be done without a "direction" attribute.
Userspace may ask to take over a GPIO by writing to a sysfs control file,
helping to cope with incomplete board support or other "one-off"
requirements that don't merit full kernel support:
echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/export
... will gpio_request(23, "sysfs") and gpio_export(23);
use /sys/class/gpio/gpio-23/direction to (re)configure it,
when that GPIO can be used as both input and output.
echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
... will gpio_free(23), when it was exported as above
The extra D-space footprint is a few hundred bytes, except for the sysfs
resources associated with each exported GPIO. The additional I-space
footprint is about two thirds of the current size of gpiolib (!). Since
no /dev node creation is involved, no "udev" support is needed.
Related changes:
* This adds a device pointer to "struct gpio_chip". When GPIO
providers initialize that, sysfs gpio class devices become children of
that device instead of being "virtual" devices.
* The (few) gpio_chip providers which have such a device node have
been updated.
* Some gpio_chip drivers also needed to update their module "owner"
field ... for which missing kerneldoc was added.
* Some gpio_chips don't support input GPIOs. Those GPIOs are now
flagged appropriately when the chip is registered.
Based on previous patches, and discussion both on and off LKML.
A Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-gpio update is ready to submit once this
merges to mainline.

Say Y here to add some extra checks and diagnostics to GPIO calls.
|

The checks help ensure that GPIOs have been properly initialized
|
|
before they are used and that sleeping calls aren not made from
|
|
nonsleeping contexts. They can make bitbanged serial protocols
|
|
slower. The diagnostics help catch the type of setup errors
|

that are most common when setting up new platforms or boards.

Say Y here to add a sysfs interface for GPIOs.

This is mostly useful to work around omissions in a system's
|
|
kernel support. Those are common in custom and semicustom
|
|
hardware assembled using standard kernels with a minimum of
|
|
custom patches. In those cases, userspace code may import
|
|
a given GPIO from the kernel, if no kernel driver requested it.
|
|
|
|
Kernel drivers may also request that a particular GPIO be
|
|
exported to userspace; this can be useful when debugging.

some of them. Compatible models include:

Your board setup code will need to declare the expanders in
|
|
use, and assign numbers to the GPIOs they expose. Those GPIOs
|
|
can then be used from drivers and other kernel code, just like
|
|
other GPIOs, but only accessible from task contexts.
|
|
|
|
This driver provides an in-kernel interface to those GPIOs using
|
|
platform-neutral GPIO calls.
