This patch adds support for handling GPIO as a HWMOD FW adapted
platform device for OMAP2PLUS chips.

gpio_init needs to be done before machine_init functions access gpio APIs.
Hence gpio_init is made as a postcore_initcall.

That method seems to be an IP version specific information and not a Soc
specific one. You should store that in the hwmod dev_attr.

'method' is chip ID information mapped to GPIO driver specific enum that is passed to the driver
(eg., METHOD_GPIO_24XX, METHOD_GPIO_44XX). I think this should not be moved to hwmod dev_attr because
this is only an info required for the driver to identify the chip ID and accordingly access
functions/ registers.

Also this 'method' would be removed once GPIO code undergoes a complete cleanup.


What does 'method' mean in that context? Maybe the name should be revisited?

Agree. 'method' is used throughout OMAP GPIO code. As mentioned above, this field would be removed
once the whole GPIO code is cleaned up. This patch series doesn't bother to clean up GPIO code as the
changes would be huge and intended only for HWMOD FW adaptation. Cleaning up GPIO code would come as
a separate series and we can address this then.

Sorry if my comment is not aligned but I thought we are addressing the
gpio clean up as well.

If we are re-vamping the code so much, is it not the right time to clean up as well ??

I agree with Santosh, you are already cleaning a bunch of things, and in that case you can easily take advantage of HWMOD to remove a good amount of useless code.

We'd better do that right now, instead of waiting a next phase that might never happen...

And BTW, this 'method' is a IP version dependent information and not a Soc specific one. You can potentially use the HW revision field, if it is available for the GPIO.

Benoit
