+struct gpioline_config { + __u8 default_values[GPIOLINES_MAX];So 32 bytesActually that one is 64 bytes, which is the same as v1, i.e. GPIOLINES_MAX is the same as GPIOHANDLES_MAX - just renamed. On the subject of values, is there any reason to use a byte for each line rather value than a bit?Not really, other than making things simple for userspace.
I'm in favor of using bits here. I think we can rely on libgpiod to make things simple for user-space, the kernel interface can be as brief as possible. Bart
