To provide backward compatibility for boards that use deprecated DT bindings, we need to add fw_devlink support for "gpio" and "gpios".
You do some more stuff in the patch so describe that too. Especially the check for hogs and #gpio-cells. Describe why you do that. Maybe even with a comment in the code because I don't think everyone will understand.
+ if (strcmp(prop_name, "gpio") && strcmp(prop_name, "gpios")) + return NULL;
This part is easy to understand.
+ if (of_find_property(np, "gpio-hog", NULL)) + return NULL; + + if (of_parse_phandle_with_args(np, prop_name, "#gpio-cells", index, + &sup_args)) + return NULL;
This part is hard to understand. Insert comments and tell the reader of the code what is going on and why. Yours, Linus Walleij
