Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] gpio: Add support for IDT 79RC3243x GPIO controller

IDT 79RC3243x SoCs integrated a gpio controller, which handles up
to 32 gpios. All gpios could be used as an interrupt source.

Changes in v4:
- added spinlock to serialize access to irq registers
- reworked checking of irq sense bits
- start with handle_bad_irq and set handle_level_irq in idt_gpio_irq_set_type
- cleaned up #includes
- use platform_get_irq

Changes in v3:
- changed compatible string to idt,32434-gpio
- registers now start with gpio direction register and leaves
out alternate function register for pinmux/pinctrl driver

Changes in v2:
- made driver buildable as module
- use for_each_set_bit() in irq dispatch handler
- use gpiochip_get_data instead of own container_of helper
- use module_platform_driver() instead of arch_initcall
- don't default y for Mikrotik RB532

Thank you!

Honestly speaking, I was about to give a tag but realized 1) we missed
v5.13 anyway, and 2) there is gpio-regmap generic code, that may be
worth considering. Otherwise this is in a pretty good shape.

My comments below.

I'm not sure it's enough to have separated locks for these registers
versus direction / value ones.
Can't you reuse bgpio_lock?

Looking into bgpio code, I think it has issues with locking in some
cases (it does two or more operations each of them serialized, but not
together, it means there is a window where another I/O may happen and
potentially screw up the GPIO state.

Dunno if gpio-regmap has this solved (I suggest to look into it as
well, at least regmap API provides locking by default).

0 => IRQ_TYPE_NONE

Now I have got the below exit. You need to check here for EDGE

So,

if (sense == IRQ_TYPE_NONE || (sense & IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_BOTH)

And setting LEVEL_HIGH + LEVEL_LOW shouldn't stop you here. It's fine,
just declared HIGH as a winner.

This driver uses memory mapped registers. While that is
also possible with gpio-regmap, there is one drawback:
it assumes gpiochip->can_sleep = true for now, see [1].
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to ask the regmap
if its mmio/fastio.

I don't see how it is an impediment.

You'd have to use the *_cansleep() variants with the gpios,
which cannot be used everywhere, no?

*can* sleep means that it requires a sleeping context to run, if your
controller is fine with that, there are no worries. OTOH if you want
to run this in an atomic context, then consumers can't do with that
kind of controller. What I meant above (and you stripped it here) is
to add a patch that will fix that and set it based on
gpio_regmap_config.

Ok, then we are on the same track.

Yes, but ideally, it would ask the regmap. Otherwise that
information is redundant and might mismatch, i.e. gpio_regmap_config
tell can_sleep=false but the regmap is an I2C type for example. Also
if a driver wants to support both regmap types, we are no step
further.

I'd love to fix that, but Mark was against exposing that property
outside of regmap. So it it what it is for now ;) Maybe he'll change
his mind or someone has another idea.

Then let's go to ugly variant with duplicating it in gpio-regmap
config. with a FIXME note or so. I don't think we should allow new
drivers be based on bgpio_init().

Yeah, I agree that is a band aid, but you are free to fix it actually
on regmap level.
I don't think it will require an enormous amount of work there.

Overall looks good to me.

Is there a *technical* reason why this is required?

Can't the driver just default to 32 gpios when not specified?

Why can't interrupt support be made optional?

It is fine if the driver errors out if not provided, but
for the bindings this feels optional.

Or does the thing break unless you handle the IRQs?

If the hardware has interrupts, then we should describe that. It's the
OS driver that may or may not support interrupts.

I'll make them optional.
