[PATCH 4/9] gpio: Add 'name' to the gpio descriptor struct

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

 



The latest gpio hogging mechanism assigns each gpio a 'line-name' in the
devicetree. The 'name' field is different from the 'label' field.
'label' is only used for requested GPIOs to describe its current use by
driver or userspace.

The 'name' field describes the GPIO itself, not the use. This is most
likely identical to the label in the schematic on the GPIO line and
should help to find this particular GPIO.
