Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] gpio: add GPO driver for PCA9570

NXP PCA9570 is 4-bit I2C GPO expander without interrupt functionality.
Its ports are controlled only by a data byte without register address.

As there is no other driver similar enough to be adapted for it, a new
driver is introduced here.

Signed-off-by: Sungbo Eo <[email protected]>
---
v2:
* move the direction functions below the set functions
* use devm_gpiochip_add_data() and remove the remove callback

v1:
Tested in kernel 5.4 on an ipq40xx platform.

This is my first time submitting a whole driver patch, and I'm not really familiar with this PCA expander series.
Please let me know how I can improve this patch further.

FYI there's an unmerged patch for this chip.
http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/pipermail/driverdev-devel/2017-May/105602.html
I don't have PCA9571 either so I didn't add support for it.

Thanks for an update. I'll look at them later, so please defer the
next version a bit (perhaps for one week).
My comments below.

Usual pattern is to put this on one line

buffer = (gpio->buffer & ~mask) | (bits & mask);

I'm not sure I understand why this is under lock.

Can't you simple do it here like

if (err)
return;

... = buffer;

?

Can't you use ->probe_new() instead?

Either move this before return 0; or...

Could you rename it to reg or something else more obvious? A buffer

If you're not using it in probe than maybe move it next to the I2C device table?

You don't need this message, the core library will print something for
you. Just do return devm_gpiochip_add_data().

(Side note)
...and even if so it can be assessed via a struct device pointer:
dev->driver->id_table (don't remember by heart, but you have an idea).

Thanks for all the reviews! I've updated the patch, please have a look.

And I have something to ask.

# echo 1 > gpio408/value
# cat gpio408/value
cat: read error: I/O error
# cat gpio408/direction
out
# echo out > gpio408/direction
# echo in > gpio408/direction
[ 91.006691] gpio-408 (sysfs): gpiod_direction_input: missing get()
but have direction_input()
ash: write error: I/O error

I've never dealt with GPO expander before, so this seems a bit odd to me.
Is it perfectly okay to leave get() and direction_input() unimplemented?

Thanks.

Actually it would be better to return the value you set for output in ->get().
