Hi Arnd,
Per Linus, shall we hold this driver until the GIC submission complete
? Or we will send the version without access GIC to read status in
case the GPIO is configured IRQ ?
+static int xgene_gpio_sb_get(struct gpio_chip *gc, u32 gpio)
+{
+ struct of_mm_gpio_chip *mm_gc = to_of_mm_gpio_chip(gc);
+ struct xgene_gpio_sb *chip = to_xgene_gpio_sb(mm_gc);
+ u32 data;
+
+ data = ioread32(mm_gc->regs + MPA_GPIO_IN_ADDR);
+
+ return (data & GPIO_MASK(gpio)) ? 1 : 0;
+}
Regards,
Y
