How about doing all the request/free's in the ep93xx_ide_on_gpio() function? That way the platform code can initially call it and set all the pins into gpio mode (freeing them). Then later when the IDE driver is loaded it can call the function to try and put the pins into IDE mode (requesting them). If any of the pins are unavailable the ep93xx_ide_on_gpio() function can return the necessary error code preventing the IDE driver from loading. When the driver is unloaded it just needs to call the core to free the gpio's. Something like: int ep93xx_ide_on_gpio(int enable) { u32 reg; int err; int i; reg = __raw_read(EP93XX_SYSCON_DEVICE_CONFIG); if (enable) { for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) { err = gpio_request(EP93XX_GPIO_LINE_E(i), "ep93xx_ide"); if (err) goto fail_gpio_e; err = gpio_request(EP93XX_GPIO_LINE_F(i), "ep93xx_ide"); if (err) goto fail_gpio_f; err = gpio_request(EP93XX_GPIO_LINE_G(i), "ep93xx_ide"); if (err) goto fail_gpio_g; } reg &= ~(EP93XX_SYSCON_DEVICE_CONFIG_EONIDE | EP93XX_SYSCON_DEVICE_CONFIG_GONIDE | EP93XX_SYSCON_DEVICE_CONFIG_HONIDE); } else { for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) { gpio_free(EP93XX_GPIO_LINE_E(i)); gpio_free(EP93XX_GPIO_LINE_F(i)); gpio_free(EP93XX_GPIO_LINE_G(i)); } reg |= (EP93XX_SYSCON_DEVICE_CONFIG_EONIDE | EP93XX_SYSCON_DEVICE_CONFIG_GONIDE | EP93XX_SYSCON_DEVICE_CONFIG_HONIDE); } __raw_writel(0xaa, EP93XX_SYSCON_SWLOCK); __raw_writel(reg, EP93XX_SYSCON_DEVICE_CONFIG); return 0; fail_gpio_g: free_gpio(EP93XX_GPIO_LINE_F(i); fail_gpio_f: free_gpio(EP93XX_GPIO_LINE_E(i); fail_gpio_e: for ( ; i >= 0; --i) { free_gpio(EP93XX_GPIO_LINE_E(i); free_gpio(EP93XX_GPIO_LINE_F(i); free_gpio(EP93XX_GPIO_LINE_G(i); } return err; } Regards, Hartley -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
