I understand all that. Sorry, I forgot to mention I modified the SPMI PMIC arb code on v4.13-rc7 to continue even though a permission fault may happen by deleting the 'return -EPERM' lines. So the LED GPIO driver is still probing for me, and I see that the GPIOs work regardless of any permission problems that may have been enforced in the hardware. I thought the permission checks that the software is looking at to return EPERM were enforced in hardware, but that doesn't seem to be the case. That's all I was wondering about. -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of Code Aurora Forum, a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
