GPIO @ MPC5200

From: Andre Schwarz <hidden>

Sascha, Grant,

I'm running on 2.6.26-rc6 with an MPC5200B based system.

Looks like some (for me) crucial GPIO are touched during boot.
Is this possible ?

Of course I have compiled in GPIO-Lib and specified the GPIOs in the dts.
But no access yet - I'd like to preserve the setup from u-boot...

regards,
Andre

The GPIO driver only writes to the GPIO registers when a driver actually
requests to use them.  At probe time, the gpio drivers read the current
values from the GPIO registers, so current config should be preserved.

However, the gpiochip_dir hook explicitly sets the output value when it
is called.  It may be that when you are claiming the GPIO line it is
getting set with a default (and wrong) value.

Another possibility; have you verified that it is the GPIO regs getting
clobbered?  Or is port_config getting changed on you?  Which GPIO pins?

The pin in question is PSC2_4, i.e. a wake-up GPIO.
It is configured as push-pull output and driven high.

Since it has an external pull-down resistor I can't say if it is driven
low or re-configured as an input ...

I removed GPIO Lib and the problem is gone.
I'm not yet using it anyway under linux - they're mainly for system
configuration (setting up muxes etc.).

I'll dig into it when I have some time.

thanks,
Andre

When you do, try adding "#define DEBUG" to the top of mpc52xx_gpio.c and
see what comes out of dmesg.
