Subject: [PATCH v8 0/2] gpio: gpio-cascade: add generic GPIO cascade

Hello everyone!

I am sending what I am hoping to be the final version of the patch set and
having kernel support for my router is one step closer.
I want to thank Drew, Linus, Andy and others for their patient review and
testing work over the different iterations.

The changes in this one compared to v7 are cosmetic consisting of
- rearrange members of struct gpio_chip
- fix typoes and one instance of split lines in function declaration
- added Reviewed-by tags in appropriate commit messages

Thanks,
Mauri

Add documentation for a general GPIO cascade. It allows building
one-to-many cascades of GPIO lines using multiplexer to choose
the cascaded line.

+description: |
+ A generic GPIO cascade
+
+ This hardware construction cascades (multiplexes) several GPIO lines from
+ one-to-many using a software controlled multiplexer. The most common use
+ case is probably reading several inputs by switching the multiplexer over
+ several input lines, which in practice works well since input lines has
+ high impedance.
+
+ Constructions with multiplexed outputs are also possible using open drain
+ electronics.
+
+ The number of cascaded GPIO lines is limited by the technology used to
+ switch over the cascaded lines. There are readily available dual/triple
+ 4-to-1 multiplexers, for example, and others.
+
+ Illustration (pins used to drive the multiplexer are omitted for clarity)

Subject: [PATCH v8 2/2] gpio: gpio-cascade: add generic GPIO cascade

Adds support for building cascades of GPIO lines. That is, it allows
setups when there is one upstream line and multiple cascaded lines, out
of which one can be chosen at a time. The status of the upstream line
can be conveyed to the selected cascaded line or, vice versa, the status
of the cascaded line can be conveyed to the upstream line.

A multiplexer is being used to select, which cascaded GPIO line is being
used at any given time.

At the moment only input direction is supported. In future it should be
possible to add support for output direction, too.

v7 -> v8:
- rearrange members in struct gpio_cascade
- cosmetic changes in file header and in one function declaration
- added Reviewed-by tags by Linus and Andy
v6 -> v7:
- In Kconfig add info about module name
- adhere to new convention that allows lines longer than 80 chars
- use dev_probe_err with upstream gpio line too
- refactor for cleaner exit of probe function.
v5 -> v6:
- In Kconfig, remove dependency to OF_GPIO and select only MULTIPLEXER
- refactor code preferring one-liners
- clean up prints, removing them from success-path.
- don't explicitly set gpio_chip.of_node as it's done in the GPIO library
- use devm_gpiochip_add_data instead of gpiochip_add
v4 -> v5:
- renamed gpio-mux-input -> gpio-cascade. refactored code accordingly
here and there and changed to use new bindings and compatible string
- ambigious and vague 'pin' was rename to 'upstream_line'
- dropped Tested-by and Reviewed-by due to changes in bindings
- dropped Reported-by suggested by an automatic bot as it was not really
appropriate to begin with
- functionally it's the same as v4
v3 -> v4:
- Changed author email
- Included Tested-by and Reviewed-by from Drew
v2 -> v3:
- use managed device resources
- update Kconfig description
v1 -> v2:
- removed .owner from platform_driver as per test bot's instruction
- added MODULE_AUTHOR, MODULE_DESCRIPTION, MODULE_LICENSE
- added gpio_mux_input_get_direction as it's recommended for all chips
- removed because this is input only chip: gpio_mux_input_set_value
- removed because they are not needed for input/output only chips:
gpio_mux_input_direction_input
gpio_mux_input_direction_output
- fixed typo in an error message
- added info message about successful registration
- removed can_sleep flag as this does not sleep while getting GPIO value
like I2C or SPI do
- Updated description in Kconfig
