From: KV Sujith <redacted> This patch adds OF parser support for davinci gpio driver and also appropriate documentation in gpio-davinci.txt located at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/.I worry, do we need to have gpio_chip.of_xlate() callback implemented?I looked for the other OF GPIO implementations with same "ngpio" property (marvel, msm) but I don’t see of_xlate() callback implemented.The question: will below definitions in DT work or not after this series? Will of_get_gpio()/of_get_named_gpio() work? Example1 - leds: leds { compatible = "gpio-leds"; debug0 { label = "green:debug0"; gpios = <&gpio 29 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; }; }; Example2 - any dev: devA { compatible = "devA"; gpios = <&gpio 120 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; }
Agreed of_get_gpio()/of_get_named_gpio() wont work without xlate callback implemented, but I think this can be added as a incremental patch later.

- From one side, Davinci GPIO controller in DT described by one entry which defines number of supported GPIOs as "ti,ngpio = <144>;" - From other side, on Linux level more than one gpio_chip objects are instantiated (one per each 32 GPIO). How the standard GPIO biding will work in this case? .. And will they? Linus, I'd very appreciate if you will be able to clarify this point.quoted

Right? Like: devX@0 { compatible = "devX"; interrupt-parent = <&gpio>; interrupts = <50 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>; /* gpio line 50 */ };
may be I took you wrong here, the interrupt-controller is inherited property taken from its parent, so didn’t mention that in the documentation Regards, --Prabhakar Lad -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-gpio" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
