It is not strictly hardware. But I still need a place to specify this attribute in a board-dependent way. I suppose you could think of an end user as a hardware component (though we have soft parts too), then you'd be specifying that hardware's access to the hardware via the export flag. >> For the regulator case, it looks like a hogging mechanism might be >> appropriate. > > Do you mean something like the existing support for marking regulators > as always enabled? No. I was assuming that the hogging mechanism would include the exporting capability from GPIOs. -- 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
