[PATCH v2 1/1] Documentation: firmware-guide: gpio-properties: Clarify Explicit and Implicit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Clarify the Explicit and Implicit meanings in the table of Pull Bias.

While at it, distinguish pull bias keywords used in ACPI by using bold
font in the table of the respective terms.

 Linux tries to use common sense here and derives the state from the bias
 and polarity settings. The table below shows the expectations:

 That said, for our above example the both GPIOs, since the bias setting
 is explicit and _DSD is present, will be treated as active with a high
