[PATCH] pinctrl: qcom: ssbi-gpio: fix gpio-hog related boot issues

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

 



When attempting to setup up a gpio hog, device probing will repeatedly
fail with -EPROBE_DEFERED errors. It is caused by a circular dependency
between the gpio and pinctrl frameworks. If the gpio-ranges property is
present in device tree, then the gpio framework will handle the gpio pin
registration and eliminate the circular dependency.

See Christian Lamparter's commit a86caa9ba5d7 ("pinctrl: msm: fix
gpio-hog related boot issues") for a detailed commit message that
explains the issue in much more detail. The code comment in this commit
came from Christian's commit.

I did not test this change against any hardware supported by this
particular driver, however I was able to validate this same fix works
for pinctrl-spmi-gpio.c using a LG Nexus 5 (hammerhead) phone.
