gpiochip_add_data being called before might cause premature calls of the gpiochip operations before the port_config values are initialized, which would possibily write zeros to port gonfiguration registers, an operation not allowed. For example, if there are gpio-hog nodes in a device-tree, the sequence of function calls are performed gpiochip_add_data of_gpiochip_add of_gpiochip_scan_gpios of_gpiochip_add_hog gpiod_hog gpiochip_request_own_desc gpiod_configure_flags gpiod_direction_output/gpiod_direction_input which would call later the gpiochip operation direction_output or direction_input prior the port_config[] initialization. Moreover, gpiochip_get_data is replaced by the container_of macro inside the gpiochip operations, which would allow the calling of max7301_direction_input prior to gpiochip_add_data Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Alencar <455.rodrigo.alencar@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpio/gpio-max730x.c | 12 +++++------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpio/gpio-max730x.c b/drivers/gpio/gpio-max730x.c index 1e1935c51096..b8c1fe20f49a 100644 --- a/drivers/gpio/gpio-max730x.c +++ b/drivers/gpio/gpio-max730x.c @@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ static int max7301_direction_input(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned offset) { - struct max7301 *ts = gpiochip_get_data(chip); + struct max7301 *ts = container_of(chip, struct max7301, chip); u8 *config; u8 offset_bits, pin_config; int ret; @@ -89,7 +89,7 @@ static int __max7301_set(struct max7301 *ts, unsigned offset, int value) static int max7301_direction_output(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned offset, int value) { - struct max7301 *ts = gpiochip_get_data(chip); + struct max7301 *ts = container_of(chip, struct max7301, chip); u8 *config; u8 offset_bits; int ret; @@ -189,10 +189,6 @@ int __max730x_probe(struct max7301 *ts) ts->chip.parent = dev; ts->chip.owner = THIS_MODULE; - ret = gpiochip_add_data(&ts->chip, ts); - if (ret) - goto exit_destroy; - /* * initialize pullups according to platform data and cache the * register values for later use. @@ -214,7 +210,9 @@ int __max730x_probe(struct max7301 *ts) } } - return ret; + ret = gpiochip_add_data(&ts->chip, ts); + if (!ret) + return ret; exit_destroy: mutex_destroy(&ts->lock); -- 2.23.0.rc1
