This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled gpio: vf610: allow disabling the vf610 driver to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: gpio-vf610-allow-disabling-the-vf610-driver.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b8d7bea68012e7dabe5f45a9eea430d5e16da192 Author: Martin Kaiser <martin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jan 24 21:58:57 2024 +0100 gpio: vf610: allow disabling the vf610 driver [ Upstream commit f57595788244a838deec2d3be375291327cbc035 ] The vf610 gpio driver is enabled by default for all i.MX machines, without any option to disable it in a board-specific config file. Most i.MX chipsets have no hardware for this driver. Change the default to enable GPIO_VF610 for SOC_VF610 and disable it otherwise. Add a text description after the bool type, this makes the driver selectable by make config etc. Fixes: 30a35c07d9e9 ("gpio: vf610: drop the SOC_VF610 dependency for GPIO_VF610") Signed-off-by: Martin Kaiser <martin@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/drivers/gpio/Kconfig b/drivers/gpio/Kconfig index 3e8e5f4ffa59f..700f71c954956 100644 --- a/drivers/gpio/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/gpio/Kconfig @@ -679,7 +679,8 @@ config GPIO_UNIPHIER Say yes here to support UniPhier GPIOs. config GPIO_VF610 - def_bool y + bool "VF610 GPIO support" + default y if SOC_VF610 depends on ARCH_MXC select GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP help
