This seems to have been broken since 2010, so obviously noone actually
cares about the driver:

make[4]: *** [drivers/input/touchscreen/eeti_ts.o] Error 1
drivers/input/touchscreen/eeti_ts.c: In function 'eeti_ts_irq_active':
drivers/input/touchscreen/eeti_ts.c:65:2: error: implicit declaration of
function 'irq_to_gpio' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

irq_to_gpio isn't available on most platforms today, so the driver
will need some rework by someone who has hardware access and can test
(to make sure that, for example, switching to level interrupts and just
keep taking them while there's more to process works).

I guess it could just be scheduled for removal, but let's start with
marking it CONFIG_BROKEN.

Well, it probably works quite well on arches that do have irq_to_gpio(),
let's ask Daniel and Sven if they still have this hardware and if they
can try the patch below that implements what you suggested.

This hardware is still in use and we also still follow kernel development
and try to update our customer devices to recent kernel versions regularly.
Currently we are at 3.1.10 and the touchscreen works well with that. I'll
try to update to a more recent kernel next week and will try your patch.
Ah, you're right, and this was my bad. Looks like this change was
introduced in 3.2 and broke this and one more driver (ezx-pcap):

   ARM: pxa: rename gpio_to_irq and irq_to_gpio

   Avoid to define gpio_to_irq() and irq_to_gpio() for potential name
   confliction since multiple architecture will be built together.

Haojian, I think it was probably premature to do the multiplatform
change like that, since it means that a PXA-only kernel has no mapping
from irq_to_gpio to pxa_irq_to_gpio. Can you please address this as a
fix for 3.4?


Thanks,

It's the same story with AT91. Here irq_to_gpio was also removed some
time ago. I believe it's the same for a lot of other ARM architectures
also.
Currently there 7 drivers that uses irq_to_gpio, these are obviously
broken on architectures that not provide the function.

I think it would be better to fix the drivers rather than resurrect
irq_to_gpio on the individual architectures.

Users of irq_to_gpio in drivers:
pata_rb532_cf, eeti_ts, egalax_ts, ezx-pcap, db1xxx_ss, tosa_battery, lis3l02dq
