2016-10-24	tools/gpio: add gpio basic opereations	Bamvor Jian Zhang	1	-0/+16
	Add basic gpio operations. User could get/set gpio value for specific line of gpiochip. Reference "tools/gpio/gpio-hammer.c" or "tools/testing/selftest/gpio/gpio-mockup-chardev.c" for how to use it.

2016-02-19	gpio: add userspace ABI for GPIO line information	Linus Walleij	1	-0/+2
	This adds a GPIO line ABI for getting name, label and a few select flags from the kernel. This hides the kernel internals and only tells userspace what it may need to know: the different in-kernel consumers are masked behind the flag "kernel" and that is all userspace needs to know. However electric characteristics like active low, open drain etc are reflected to userspace, as this is important information. We provide information on all lines on all chips, later on we will likely add a flag for the chardev consumer so we can filter and display only the lines userspace actually uses in e.g. lsgpio, but then we first need an ABI for userspace to grab and use (get/set/select direction) a GPIO line. Sample output from "lsgpio" on ux500: GPIO chip: gpiochip7, "8011e000.gpio", 32 GPIO lines line 0: unnamed unlabeled line 1: unnamed unlabeled (...) line 25: unnamed "SFH7741 Proximity Sensor" [kernel output open-drain] line 26: unnamed unlabeled (...)

2016-02-09	tools/gpio: create GPIO tools	Linus Walleij	1	-0/+25
	This creates GPIO tools under tools/gpio/* and adds a single example program to list the GPIOs on a system. When proper devices are created it provides this minimal output: Cc: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org> Cc: Michael Welling <mwelling@ieee.org> Cc: Markus Pargmann <mpa@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
