2016-10-20gpio/board.txt: point to gpiod_set_valuePavel Machek1-4/+7
gpiod_set_value() is preffered interface these days, so add a pointer. Also fix a missing ). Signed-off-by: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> [Fixed some grammar and reworded] Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
2016-08-08gpio: delete ARCH_[WANTS_OPTIONAL|REQUIRE]_GPIOLIBLinus Walleij1-3/+3
The GPIOLIB is now selectable explicitly, and always available for all archs. All archs that require GPIOLIB are switched to select GPIOLIB directly. Delete the hairy ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and ARCH_WANTS_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB Kconfig symbols. Cc: Michael Büsch <m@bues.ch> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
2016-02-25gpio: documenatation: fix GPIO_LOOKUP{,_IDX} documentationGabor Juhos1-6/+5
The 'dev_id' parameter of the GPIO_LOOKUP{,_IDX} macros were removed by commit ad824783fb23 ("gpio: better lookup method for platform GPIOs"). Update the documentation to reflect that. Signed-off-by: Gabor Juhos <juhosg@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
2015-09-24Documentation: gpio: mention that <function>-gpio has been deprecatedJavier Martinez Canillas1-3/+7
The gpiolib supports parsing DT properties of the form <function>-gpio but it was only added for compatibility with older DT bindings that got it wrong and should not be used in newer bindings. The commit that added support for this was: dd34c37aa3e8 ("gpio: of: Allow -gpio suffix for property names") but didn't update the documentation to explain this so it's been a source of confusion. So let's make clear this in the GPIO documentation. Signed-off-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javier@osg.samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2015-09-14Documentation: gpio: Explain that <function>-gpio is also supportedJavier Martinez Canillas1-3/+3
The GPIO documentation mentions that GPIOs are mapped by defining a <function>-gpios property in the consumer device's node but a -gpio sufix is also supported after commit: dd34c37aa3e8 ("gpio: of: Allow -gpio suffix for property names") Update the documentation to match the implementation.

2015-09-14Documentation: gpio: board: describe the con_id parameterDirk Behme1-0/+9
The con_id parameter has to match the GPIO description and is automatically extended by the GPIO suffix if not NULL. I had to look into the code to understand this and properly find the GPIO I've been looking for, so document this.

2015-09-14Documentation: gpio: board: add flags parameter to gpiod_get*() functionsDirk Behme1-12/+13
With commit 39b2bbe3d715 ("gpio: add flags argument to gpiod_get*() functions") the gpiod_get*() functions got a 'flags' parameter. Reflect this in the documentation, too. Signed-off-by: Dirk Behme <dirk.behme@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
2015-04-04Documentation: gpio: Update ACPI part of the document to mention _DSDMika Westerberg1-4/+37
With ACPI 5.1 _DSD (Device Specific Data) it is now possible to name functions just like Device Tree is doing. Make sure that the documentation mentions _DSD as the recommended way to describe GPIOs in ACPI systems.

2014-07-28gpio: split gpiod board registration into machine headerLinus Walleij1-1/+1
As per example from the regulator subsystem: put all defines and functions related to registering board info for GPIO descriptors into a separate <linux/gpio/machine.h> header.

2013-12-09gpio: better lookup method for platform GPIOsAlexandre Courbot1-11/+17
Change the format of the platform GPIO lookup tables to make them less confusing and improve lookup efficiency. The previous format was a single linked-list that required to compare the device name and function ID of every single GPIO defined for each lookup. Switch that to a list of per-device tables, so that the lookup can be done in two steps, omitting the GPIOs that are not relevant for a particular device. The matching rules are now defined as follows: - The device name must match *exactly*, and can be NULL for GPIOs not assigned to a particular device, - If the function ID in the lookup table is NULL, the con_id argument of gpiod_get() will not be used for lookup. However, if it is defined, it must match exactly. - The index must always match.

2013-11-25Documentation: gpiolib: document new interfaceAlexandre Courbot1-0/+115
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.
