      gpio: sysfs interface · d8f388d8
      David Brownell 提交于
      This adds a simple sysfs interface for GPIOs.
      
          /sys/class/gpio
          	/export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace
          	/unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel
              /gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N
      	    /value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs
      	    /direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write high, low
      	/gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO
      	    /base ... (r/o) same as N
      	    /label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique
      	    /ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N .. N+(ngpio - 1)
      
      GPIOs claimed by kernel code may be exported by its owner using a new
      gpio_export() call, which should be most useful for driver debugging.
      Such exports may optionally be done without a "direction" attribute.
      
      Userspace may ask to take over a GPIO by writing to a sysfs control file,
      helping to cope with incomplete board support or other "one-off"
      requirements that don't merit full kernel support:
      
        echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/export
      	... will gpio_request(23, "sysfs") and gpio_export(23);
      	use /sys/class/gpio/gpio-23/direction to (re)configure it,
      	when that GPIO can be used as both input and output.
        echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
      	... will gpio_free(23), when it was exported as above
      
      The extra D-space footprint is a few hundred bytes, except for the sysfs
      resources associated with each exported GPIO.  The additional I-space
      footprint is about two thirds of the current size of gpiolib (!).  Since
      no /dev node creation is involved, no "udev" support is needed.
      
      Related changes:
      
        * This adds a device pointer to "struct gpio_chip".  When GPIO
          providers initialize that, sysfs gpio class devices become children of
          that device instead of being "virtual" devices.
      
        * The (few) gpio_chip providers which have such a device node have
          been updated.
      
        * Some gpio_chip drivers also needed to update their module "owner"
          field ...  for which missing kerneldoc was added.
      
        * Some gpio_chips don't support input GPIOs.  Those GPIOs are now
          flagged appropriately when the chip is registered.
      
      Based on previous patches, and discussion both on and off LKML.
      
      A Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-gpio update is ready to submit once this
      merges to mainline.

      i2c: Convert most new-style drivers to use module aliasing · 3760f736
      Jean Delvare 提交于
      Based on earlier work by Jon Smirl and Jochen Friedrich.
      
      Update most new-style i2c drivers to use standard module aliasing
      instead of the old driver_name/type driver matching scheme. I've
      left the video drivers apart (except for SoC camera drivers) as
      they're a bit more diffcult to deal with, they'll have their own
      patch later.

      i2c: Add support for device alias names · d2653e92
      Jean Delvare 提交于
      Based on earlier work by Jon Smirl and Jochen Friedrich.
      
      This patch allows new-style i2c chip drivers to have alias names using
      the official kernel aliasing system and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(). At this
      point, the old i2c driver binding scheme (driver_name/type) is still
      supported.
