But I see nothing STM32-specific about this driver?
I think we should do everone a service and just create
drivers/iio/trigger/gpio-trigger.c
I wondered before why we don't have a generic GPIO IIO trigger,
it seems like such an intuitive and useful thing to have.
Let's see what Jonathan says.

Isn't the dependency actually the other way around?
default STM32_EXTI makes more sense, or just put it into the
defconfig.

Just don't put any restrictions like this so it can be widely
reused.

It could be a good idea to capture the timestamp here if we were
actually using this IRQ.

Why not just run this until devm_gpiod_get() returns -ERRNO
or something?

Why would it be optional?
Either it is there in the device tree or we get -EINVAL or something
if there is no
such index in the device tree. We can get -EPROBE_DEEER too, and then
we should exit silently or just print that deferring is happening.

Here you need some elaborate trigger edge handling.
The flags that you define as "0" here, how do we say that we
want to handle rising or falling edges, for example?
I think you might want to establish these DT properties for
GPIO triggers:
gpio-trigger-rising-edge;
gpio-trigger-falling-edge;
Then:
int irq_flags = 0;
if (of_property_read_bool(np, "gpio-trigger-rising-edge")
irq_flags |= IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING;
else if (of_property_read_bool(np, "gpio-trigger-falling-edge")
irq_flags |= IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING;
To pass along to the devm_request_irq() function as flags.
I find it weird that it even works without. Most GPIO interrupts
should require you to set a trigger type. But I guess it is because
of the other weirdness you describe below.

Aha. That is not generic. But what about just adding:
if (of_property_read_bool(np, "gpio-trigger-numb-irq")
disable_irq();
(Plus add the binding for that something like "this makes the
GPIO mentioned get requested, translated to an IRQ, get the
IRQ requested, and then immediately just disabled as other
hardware will actually hande the IRQ line".)
I understand that this is kind of weird: we're making a whole generic
GPIO trigger driver just to use it with hardware that grabs and disabled
the irq immediately.
But I think that in the long run it makes for more reusable code.

Should fit anyone, given the above amendments.

This seems unnecessary to broadcast to the entire kernel.
Why? (Maybe I can find explanations in later patches.
