Right way to get the gpio values from the device tree in the device driver

[Raul Piper <raulpblooper@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

With reference to the example below what is the correct way to get the gpio values from the device tree :

I modified the existing leds-ns2 device tree as below :

 

          blue-sata {

                   label = "ns2:blue:sata";

                   slow-gpio = <&gpio0 29 0>;

                   cmd-gpio = <&gpio0 30 0>;

+                 slow1-gpio=<&gpio 31 0>;

+                 cmd1-gpio=<&gpio 32 0>;

                   modes-map = <NS_V2_LED_OFF  0 1

                                NS_V2_LED_ON   1 0

                                NS_V2_LED_ON   0 0

                                NS_V2_LED_SATA 1 1>;

           };

 

 

And modified the driver by adding slow1 and cmd1 in all the structure (just like slow and cmd)

But when I am trying to get the gpio number for slow1 and cmd1 I am getting the below error(number gpio #31 and 32 are random numbers of gpio for testing, does it matters?) :

error : leds-ns2:probe of ns2-leds failed with error -2.What does error code -2 represents ?Is this a device tree parsing error?

ret = of_get_named_gpio(child, "slow1-gpio", 0);

                 if (ret < 0)

                         return ret;

same error if I try to get the cmd1-gpio
 

Thanks in advance !

Regards,

Rp
