Hi Fabian, sorry for taking so long for getting around to review this.

I want an ACK from one of the DT bindings maintainers for this
portion of the driver ideally. (It looks all right to me.)

Can't this appear in some other SoC?

It doesn't seem very arch-dependent in itself.

I would rather have this depend on OF so any device-tree enabled
SoC may use it, plus we get compile coverage by allmodconfig.

What is a sticky interrupt? Do you mean it is a level IRQ?
Then it's edge triggered if zero and level triggered if "sticky"
is set to 1, right?

Use just u16 please. uint16_t is some portable C type.

Please replace uint16_t with u16 everywhere.

Use this construct:
return !!(val & ZEVIO_GPIO_BIT(pin));

I usually do this:

#include <linux/bitops.h>

val |= BIT(ZEVIO_GPIO_BIT(pin));

Dito, sort of...

Hm. I guess this should be marked TODO: or something.

So when you figure this out you also add an irqchip.

The way this looks I was thinking it could use the
drivers/gpio/gpio-generic.c driver, but maybe not?

Any ideas which mail addresses I should add to CC:?

The problem is, no documents about this SoC are available at all.
Everything we know about this chip has been found out by disassembling the
nspire software (nucleus PLUS), so I have no idea, but probably not.
Also, it can't be tested during bootup, as the only platform we can test
it on
boots from an internal read-only flash, which loads boot2,
which itself is exploitable to start linux.
The entire hardware has already been initialized before booting linux.

Not my work, but indeed, it's very impressive!
(Except for the newer ("complicated") touchpad interface which was indeed
an I2C controller)

It's how the GPIO controller signals the VIC.
On sticky it keeps the IRQ high until it has been handled (W to 0x4),
if not sticky, it sets the IRQ line at the same state as the GPIO pin is.
If GPIO high => IRQ high, if GPIO gets low again => IRQ low, which is not
VERY useful..

It's used VERY often and I couldn't find any coding style document which
prefers u16..

Would be great, but it doesn't support multiple registers (4*8 GPIOs),
so I would have to register 4 of them. Then, they had to share one
interrupt,
which would have to be implemented seperately (or not at all) and then it
has
to be working with device tree without any extra (struct platform_)data.
I prefer two bitops (pin&7 and pin>>3), which are present anyways (for
IRQs)
over an array of four gpio_chips.

I'll resubmit the improved version as V4 after you told me which devicetree
mail addresses I should add.

Fabian

No. [email protected] is the place.

But if nothing happens you might want to ask Stephen Warren.

The thing is that if we don't put in the dependency, we can get
some nice compile coverage on a few different compilers and
platforms.

This is what is called a level interrupt.

So please update the terminology to match the common
one.

Hm doesn't seem like an interrupt at all, rather some
test operation to test the IRQ line. Well whatever...

There is no consensus around this.
It is up to the subsystem maintainer to decide this I think.

OK I buy this, but you know you can reuse only part of the
generic MMIO driver, and do not have to use all of it?

OK thanks.
