They are bootstrapped to different I2C addresses so they can be used concurrently. The expander on the UI board is currently used to enable/disable the peripherals that are available on the UI board. In addition to this functionality the expander is also connected to 8 pushbuttons. The expander on the baseboard is not currently used; it is connected to deep sleep enable, sw reset, a push button, some switches and LEDs. This proposed patch series enables the push buttons and switches on the UI and BB expanders using the gpio-keys polling mode patch by Alexander Clouter. Some work was performed to test irq-based gpio-keys support on the expanders (a WIP patch can be posted on request) but I believe that it is not possible to use irq-based gpio-keys on IO expanders for arm systems at this time. The attempt started when I noticed the patch of Alek Du and Alan Cox [1] which was recently committed [2]; a stab at integrating irq-based gpio-keys support based on that patch was attempted. I found that I either got a warning that the irq could not be mapped for the given gpio ; or, when N_IRQ was increased, a system freeze. >From what I have read (particularly the message by Grant Likely [3]) IRQs on IO expanders are not ready in ARM yet. I _think_ that the sparse IRQ rework by Thomas Gleixner [4] will resolve the blocker to irq-based gpio-keys support. In the meantime we have buttons and switches that we would like to excersise in our prototyping development. The patch to convert this series to irq-based gpio-keys will be straighforward once the support in arch/arm is there. There is an existing tca6416-keypad driver with polling support which I did not employ because it isn't possible to keep the gpio's used for peripheral enable/disable on the UI board or the LEDs on the baseboard registered while simultaneously registering the pushbuttons or switches as a tca6416-keypad instance. I tested this patch series using evtest on the resulting /dev/input/eventN devices and also on the event node of a non-polling gpio-keys instance to ensure that irq-based input handling is not broken by the introduction of the polling-mode gpio-keys patch. The non-polling instance creation and registration is not included in this series since it uses one of the boot-mode DIP switches and woult not (I think) be suitable for mainline. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert in irq's or gpio-keys; this is, in fact, my first proposed feature. Please feel free to correct me -- I welcome the chance to learn from your expertise.
