Subject: [PATCH] gpio: Enable pcf857x GPIO expander for Device Tree

Add code to parse the GPIO expander Device Tree node and extract platform data
out of it, and populate the struct 'pcf857x_platform_data' maintained by the
driver. This enables devices to reference the gpio expander from Device Tree.

Add DT binding info in Documentation.

I guess you're adding this because the generic GPIO bindings use it and
of_gpio_simple_xlate() depends on this two-cell layout.

Make a reference to the generic GPIO bindings and note that the
second cell is *NOT* unused, as it is used in the GPIOlib!

Surely it is the IRQ number and not the GPIO number.
The fact that the IRQ originates in a GPIO controller does not
matter.

> + - second cell is unused.

So why do you add it? Usually this is used for trigger flags.
Are you planning to add this later, i.e. does the chip support this,
and if it doesn't then get rid of this flag.

Explain what happens if you do *not* leave it as zero and what the
bits mean in that case.

Thanks for the review. I'm new to this and clearly lacking some
knowledge here.

Right, my mistake. Just a query, there is an example in gpio.txt in the
gpio bindings documentation which sets #gpio-cells as 1. Is this is a
wrong example, or are 1 cell gpio controllers valid?

Okay, I took gpio-omap.txt as reference(in other words, copy-pasted from
there), I guess 'first cell is the GPIO number' means that a slave
having it's interrupt line connected to an omap gpio bank has to mention
the gpio number in the first cell.

About this chip, a change in any of it's GPIOs configured as inputs will
generate an interrupt, then it's up to the driver to figure out which
GPIOs changed and handle their corresponding irqs. So shouldn't a device
connected to the chip describe the gpio number within the pcf857x chip
as it's first cell?

I've made a hypothetical example of a pcf8575 chip, which has it's
interrupt line connected to an omap gpio, and pcf8575's 7th gpio is
connected to 'pcf_slave'. The pcf_slave's driver requests for an
interrupt. Is this the correct way to describe this? :

pcf: pcf8575@23 {
compatible = "ti,pcf8575";
reg = <0x23>;
gpio-controller;
#gpio-cells = <2>;
#interrupt-controller;
#interrupt-cells = <1>;
interrupt-parent = <&gpio2>; /* an omap gpio bank */
interrupts = <2 8>; /* gpio line 34, low triggered*/
};

pcf_slave: slave {
...
...
#interrupt-parent = <&pcf>;
interrupts = <7>; /* connected to 7th IO pin of pcf857x*/
};

I haven't used the chip for interrupts, but going through the driver and
it's platform_data struct for board files, I don't see any trigger
information needed. I'll remove it.

I'll do that. Apologies for the trivial issues.

Why should it, given it's allocated with devres?

I don't think so. Try it and see if it works!

(If you want it, you may have to go in and fix drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c.)

There are two paths for dereferencing GPIOs and IRQs.

Simple approach:

give your slave a gpios = <...>;

and in the driver use gpio_to_irq() to dereference an IRQ number
from the GPIO number you get. The IRQdomain etc in the
GPIO driver will take care of the rest.

How to code up a driver so that it can use irqs directly from a GPIO
controller without referring to the GPIO line it is tied into is currently
quite unclear. Atleast to me. It's been discussed for the OMAP
case so search the archives...
