The ti-sn65dsi86 MIPI DSI to eDP bridge chip has 4 pins on it that can be used as GPIOs in a system. Each pin can be configured as input, output, or a special function for the bridge chip. These are: - GPIO1: SUSPEND Input - GPIO2: DSIA VSYNC - GPIO3: DSIA HSYNC or VSYNC - GPIO4: PWM Let's expose these pins as GPIOs. A few notes: - Access to ti-sn65dsi86 is via i2c so we set "can_sleep". - These pins can't be configured for IRQ. - There are no programmable pulls or other fancy features. - Keeping the bridge chip powered might be expensive. The driver is setup such that if all used GPIOs are only inputs we'll power the bridge chip on just long enough to read the GPIO and then power it off again. Setting a GPIO as output will keep the bridge powered. - If someone releases a GPIO we'll implicitly switch it to an input so we no longer need to keep the bridge powered for it. Because of all of the above limitations we just need to implement a bare-bones GPIO driver. The device tree bindings already account for this device being a GPIO controller so we only need the driver changes for it. NOTE: Despite the fact that these pins are nominally muxable I don't believe it makes sense to expose them through the pinctrl interface as well as the GPIO interface. The special functions are things that the bridge chip driver itself would care about and it can just configure the pins as needed.

Looks good mostly!

Please add: pdata->gchip.base = -1; So it is clear that you use dynamically assigned GPIO numbers, with that: Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij <redacted> Yours, Linus Walleij
