You are telling me - there are about six million ways to do even the
most trivial tasks.  Makes you appreciate more constrained languages.

hehe, I blindly sorted them.
Should it matter?

That looks good - the other is a carry over from the old gpio-mockup.sh.

Yeah, those were if [ .. ]; then fi originally. I did the first step
of simplification and missed the second :-(.

What do you suggest for the tr/awk simplification?

Cos that shows all the gpiochips, not just the ones created by gpio-mockup.
And I certainly don't want to go messing with real hardware.
The default tests should still run on real hardware - but only
accessing the mockup devices.

Got a better way to filter out real hardware?

It is filtered by $chip so there can only be one.
Or is that a false assumption?

Sadly that IS my optimized way - I don't know of an easier way to find
the sysfs GPIO number given the gpiochip and offset :-(.
Happy to learn of any alternative.

Not sure what you mean here.

The cdev implementation has to release and re-acquire in the background
as there is no simple way to perform a set_config on a requested line
from shell - just holding the requested line for a set is painful enough,
and the goal here was to keep the tests simple.

I didn't want to make line acquisition/release explicit in the gpio-mockup
tests, as that would make them needlessly complicated, so the acquire is
bundled into the set_line - and anywhere else the uAPI implementation
needs it.  There is an implicit assumption that a set_line will always
be called before a get_line, but that is always true - there is no
"as-is" being tested here.

Of course you still need the release_line at the end of the test, so
that is still there.

Agreed - except where

	for option in $*; do

is used to parse parameters.

That is how other selftests check for availability of modprobe.
e.g. selftests/kmod/kmod.sh and selftests/vm/test_hmm.sh, so I assumed
it was acceptable.

Is there an alternative?

Agreed - the gc certainly shouldn't be splitting the two.

Ahh, replacing the && with -a. Good to know.

I'm going with empty for false, so you can drop the = "true" here.

A shebang or a `set -efu`?
I don't see shebang options used anywhere in the selftest scripts, but I
agree with a set.

Either way I am unsure what the shebang should be.
The majority of the selftest scripts use bash as the shebang, with the
remainder using plain sh.
These scripts do use some bash extensions, and it was originally bash, so
I left it as that.
My test setups mainly use busybox, and don't have bash, so they complain
about the bash shebang - though the ash(??) busybox is using still runs
the script fine.

Thanks again for the review - always a learning experience.

Cheers,
Kent.
