Support providing some IC specific operations at gpio_regmap registration. Implementation of few GPIO related functionalities are likely to be very IC specific. For example the pin-configuration registers and the pin validity checks. Allow IC driver to provide IC specific functions which gpio-regmap can utilize for these IC specific configurations. This should help broaden the gpio-regmap IC coverage without the need of exposing the registered gpio_chip or struct gpio_regmap to IC drivers. The set_config and init_valid_mask are used by ROHM BD71815 GPIO driver. Convert the BD71815 GPIO driver to use gpio-regmap and get rid of some code. Rest of the ROHM GPIO drivers are to be reworked after the mechanism of adding IC specific functions is settled. Some preliminary discussion can be seen here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-gpio/c4faac648d3e0c7f3dcb50f7e24c8b322e8c6974.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ I did also prepare change where the getters for drvdata and regmap are used. It can also work - but it does not scale quite as well if (when) IC drivers need some register information to do custom operations. Interested people can see the: https://github.com/M-Vaittinen/linux/commits/gpio-regmap-getters for comparison. Changelog v3: - divide gpio_regmap into private part and part which contains user-visible configurations. This should allow keeping the internal data internal to gpio_regmap - while allowing the IC driver to re-use configurations it has provided to gpio-regmap without a need of storing them to private-data. Furthermore avoid implementing dummy 'getter-functions' for regmap, driver-data, register details, firmware node etc. - change devm_add_action() to devm_add_action_or_reset() - the bd71815 GPIO driver, completely drop private-data. Changelog v2: - Add cover-letter - Drop unnecessary checks for callback function validity - drop driver_data setting function as it is likely to be a race-condition-by-design --- Matti Vaittinen (3): gpio: regmap: Support few IC specific operations gpio: gpio-regmap: Use devm_add_action_or_reset() gpio: bd71815: Use gpio-regmap drivers/gpio/Kconfig | 1 + drivers/gpio/gpio-bd71815.c | 121 ++++++-------------- drivers/gpio/gpio-regmap.c | 212 ++++++++++++++++++++---------------- include/linux/gpio/regmap.h | 51 ++++++--- 4 files changed, 187 insertions(+), 198 deletions(-) base-commit: c4681547bcce777daf576925a966ffa824edd09d -- 2.25.4 -- Matti Vaittinen, Linux device drivers ROHM Semiconductors, Finland SWDC Kiviharjunlenkki 1E 90220 OULU FINLAND ~~~ "I don't think so," said Rene Descartes.
