      gpio: remove gpiod_sysfs_set_active_low · 166a85e4
      Johan Hovold 提交于
      Remove gpiod_sysfs_set_active_low (and gpio_sysfs_set_active_low) which
      allowed code to change the polarity of a gpio line even after it had
      been exported through sysfs.
      
      Drivers should not care, and generally does not know, about gpio-line
      polarity which is a hardware feature that needs to be described by
      firmware.
      
      It is currently possible to define gpio-line polarity in device-tree and
      acpi firmware or using platform data. Userspace can also change the
      polarity through sysfs.
      
      Note that drivers using the legacy gpio interface could still use
      GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW to change the polarity before exporting the gpio.
      
      There are no in-kernel users of this interface.

      Documentation: gpiolib: document new interface · fd8e198c
      Alexandre Courbot 提交于
      gpiolib now exports a new descriptor-based interface which deprecates
      the older integer-based one. This patch documents this new interface and
      also takes the opportunity to brush-up the GPIO documentation a little
      bit.
      
      The new descriptor-based interface follows the same consumer/driver
      model as many other kernel subsystems (e.g. clock, regulator), so its
      documentation has similarly been splitted into different files.
      
      The content of the former documentation has been reused whenever it
      made sense; however, some of its content did not apply to the new
      interface anymore and have this been removed. Likewise, new sections
      like the mapping of GPIOs to devices have been written from scratch.
      
      The deprecated legacy-based documentation is still available, untouched,
      under Documentation/gpio/gpio-legacy.txt.
