I did some quick testing. I used:

which left GPIO0 ... GPIO6 masked (pins used for ADC) and only GPIO7
unmasked.

Then I added:
gpiotst {
         compatible = "rohm,foo-bd72720-gpio";
         rohm,dvs-vsel-gpios = <&adc 5 0>, <&adc 6 0>;
};

and a dummy driver which does:
gpio_array = devm_gpiod_get_array(&pdev->dev, "rohm,dvs-vsel",
                                   GPIOD_OUT_LOW);

...

ret = gpiod_set_array_value_cansleep(gpio_array->ndescs,
                 gpio_array->desc, gpio_array->info, values);

As a result the bd79124 gpio driver got it's set_multiple called with
masked pins. (Oh, and I had accidentally prepared to handle this as I
had added a sanity check for pinmux register in the set_multiple()).

But... how did you mask of the pins 0..5 in valid_mask in this
example?

I will double-check this soon, but the BD79124 driver should use the init_valid_mask() to set all ADC channels 'invalid'. I believe I did print the gc->valid_mask in my test-run (0x80) and had the set_multiple() called with mask 0x60.

I need to rewind _my_ stack as I already switched to work with BD79104 instead :) So, please give me couple of hours...

If this is device tree, I would expect that at least you set up
gpio-reserved-ranges = <0 5>; which will initialize the valid_mask.

You still need to tell the gpiolib that they are taken for other
purposes somehow.

I think devm_gpiod_get_array() should have failed in that case.

The call graph should look like this:

devm_gpiod_get_array()
     gpiod_get_array()
         gpiod_get_index(0...n)
             gpiod_find_and_request()
                 gpiod_request()
                     gpiod_request_commit()
                         gpiochip_line_is_valid()

I remember trying to follow that call stack in the code. The beginning of it seems same, but for some reason I didn't end up in the gpiochip_line_is_valid(). This, however, requires confirmation :)


And gpiochip_line_is_valid() looks like this:

bool gpiochip_line_is_valid(const struct gpio_chip *gc,
                 unsigned int offset)
{
     /* No mask means all valid */
     if (likely(!gc->valid_mask))
         return true;
     return test_bit(offset, gc->valid_mask);
}

So why is this not working?

couple of hours please, couple of hours ;)

Yours,
