Worked fine here with _DSD on the IOT2000. Sure, the setup() function can be called several times for the same chip (as written in the comment inside the function). Definitely your code doesn't follow this, since gpiod_get_index() is returning -EBUSY when called 2+ time, that's what I got on all my tests. >> While I'm looking for fix, I get feeling that the approach itself is not right, >> >> So, for now I would vote for immediate revert and then rethink what we >> can do here. > > I'm fine with reverting because the patch wasn't clean anyway (mixed old > and new GPIO API) - aside from whatever you found in addition. > I had an > update pending but, as you are looking into this anyway, I'm sure your > patches will be more holistic. Please, send it as RFC, because it might have something we can use/re-use. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
