[PATCH] gpiolib: fix allocation of mixed dynamic/static GPIOs

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

 



If static allocation and dynamic allocation GPIOs are present,
dynamic allocation pollutes the numberspace for static allocation,
causing static allocation to fail.
Enfore dynamic allocation above GPIO_DYNAMIC_BASE.

Seen on a GTA04 when omap-gpio (static) and twl-gpio (dynamic)
raced.
On that device it is fixed invasively by
commit 92bf78b33b0b4 ("gpio: omap: use dynamic allocation of base")
but lets also fix that for devices where there is still
a mixture of static and dynamic allocation.

Fixes: 7b61212f2a07 ("gpiolib: Get rid of ARCH_NR_GPIOS")
