 is used to provide gpio pin multiplexing and configuration on mach-msm
 targets.
 
-History
-=======
-
-The first-generation API for gpio configuration & multiplexing on msm
-is the function gpio_tlmm_config().  This function has a few notable
-shortcomings, which led to its deprecation and replacement by gpiomux:
-
-The 'disable' parameter:  Setting the second parameter to
-gpio_tlmm_config to GPIO_CFG_DISABLE tells the peripheral
-processor in charge of the subsystem to perform a look-up into a
-low-power table and apply the low-power/sleep setting for the pin.
-As the msm family evolved this became problematic. Not all pins
-have sleep settings, not all peripheral processors will accept requests
-to apply said sleep settings, and not all msm targets have their gpio
-subsystems managed by a peripheral processor. In order to get consistent
-behavior on all targets, drivers are forced to ignore this parameter,
-rendering it useless.
-
-The 'direction' flag: for all mux-settings other than raw-gpio (0),
-the output-enable bit of a gpio is hard-wired to a known
-input (usually VDD or ground).  For those settings, the direction flag
-is meaningless at best, and deceptive at worst.  In addition, using the
-direction flag to change output-enable (OE) directly can cause trouble in
-gpiolib, which has no visibility into gpio direction changes made
-in this way.  Direction control in gpio mode should be made through gpiolib.
-
-Key Features of gpiomux
-=======================
-
-- A consistent interface across all generations of msm.  Drivers can expect
-the same results on every target.
-- gpiomux plays nicely with gpiolib.  Functions that should belong to gpiolib
-are left to gpiolib and not duplicated here.  gpiomux is written with the
-intent that gpio_chips will call gpiomux reference-counting methods
-from their request() and free() hooks, providing full integration.
-- Tabular configuration.  Instead of having to call gpio_tlmm_config
-hundreds of times, gpio configuration is placed in a single table.
-- Per-gpio sleep.  Each gpio is individually reference counted, allowing only
-those lines which are in use to be put in high-power states.
-- 0 means 'do nothing': all flags are designed so that the default memset-zero
-equates to a sensible default of 'no configuration', preventing users
-from having to provide hundreds of 'no-op' configs for unused or
-unwanted lines.
-
 Usage
 =====
 
-To use gpiomux, provide configuration information for relevant gpio lines
-in the msm_gpiomux_configs table.  Since a 0 equates to "unconfigured",
-only those lines to be managed by gpiomux need to be specified.  Here
-is a completely fictional example:
-
-struct msm_gpiomux_config msm_gpiomux_configs[GPIOMUX_NGPIOS] = {
-	[12] = {
-		.active = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_DRV_8MA | GPIOMUX_FUNC_1,
-		.suspended = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_PULL_DOWN,
-	},
-	[34] = {
-		.suspended = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_PULL_DOWN,
+To use gpiomux, do the following before the msmgpio gpiochips probe:
+
+- Call msm_gpiomux_init to allocate needed resources.
+- Install one or more sets of gpiomux configuration data via
+  msm_gpiomux_install and/or msm_gpiomux_write.
+
+Failing to finish these steps before the probe of msmgpio can result in calls
+from msmgpio to gpiomux to try and activate lines which have not yet
+been configured.
+
+A basic gpiomux setting is described by a gpiomux_setting structure.
+A gpiomux configuration is a group of those settings (one for each power
+state of the board) paired with a specific gpio, like so:
+
+struct msm_gpiomux_config gpio123_config __initdata = {
+	.gpio = 123,
+	.settings = {
+		[GPIOMUX_ACTIVE] = {
+			.func = GPIOMUX_FUNC_GPIO,
+			.drv  = GPIOMUX_DRV_2MA,
+			.pull = GPIOMUX_PULL_NONE,
+			.dir  = GPIOMUX_OUT_HIGH,
+		},
+		[GPIOMUX_SUSPENDED] = {
+			.func = GPIOMUX_FUNC_3,
+			.drv  = GPIOMUX_DRV_8MA,
+			.pull = GPIOMUX_PULL_DOWN,
+		},
 	},
 };
 
-To indicate that a gpio is in use, call msm_gpiomux_get() to increase
-its reference count.  To decrease the reference count, call msm_gpiomux_put().
-
 The effect of this configuration is as follows:
 
-When the system boots, gpios 12 and 34 will be initialized with their
-'suspended' configurations.  All other gpios, which were left unconfigured,
-will not be touched.
-
-When msm_gpiomux_get() is called on gpio 12 to raise its reference count
-above 0, its active configuration will be applied.  Since no other gpio
-line has a valid active configuration, msm_gpiomux_get() will have no
-effect on any other line.
-
-When msm_gpiomux_put() is called on gpio 12 or 34 to drop their reference
-count to 0, their suspended configurations will be applied.
-Since no other gpio line has a valid suspended configuration, no other
-gpio line will be effected by msm_gpiomux_put().  Since gpio 34 has no valid
-active configuration, this is effectively a no-op for gpio 34 as well,
-with one small caveat, see the section "About Output-Enable Settings".
-
-All of the GPIOMUX_VALID flags may seem like unnecessary overhead, but
-they address some important issues.  As unused entries (all those
-except 12 and 34) are zero-filled, gpiomux needs a way to distinguish
-the used fields from the unused.  In addition, the all-zero pattern
-is a valid configuration!  Therefore, gpiomux defines an additional bit
-which is used to indicate when a field is used.  This has the pleasant
-side-effect of allowing calls to msm_gpiomux_write to use '0' to indicate
-that a value should not be changed:
-
-  msm_gpiomux_write(0, GPIOMUX_VALID, 0);
-
-replaces the active configuration of gpio 0 with an all-zero configuration,
-but leaves the suspended configuration as it was.
+- When the system boots, gpio 123 will be put into the SUSPENDED setting.
+- When the reference count for gpio 123 rises above 0, the ACTIVE setting
+  will be applied.
+- When the reference count falls back to 0, the SUSPENDED setting will be
+  reapplied.
+
+The reference count rises when msm_gpiomux_get() is called and falls
+when msm_gpiomux_put() is called.  msmgpio has hooks to these functions
+in its gpiolib implementation.  This means that when you call gpio_request()
+on an msmgpio, msm_gpiomux_get() is automatically called on your behalf.
+Similarly, when you call gpio_free(), msm_gpiomux_put() is called for you.
+This allows generic drivers to obtain low-level management of msmgpio lines
+without having to be aware of the gpiomux layer.
+
+Note that the .dir field is ignored if .func != GPIOMUX_FUNC_GPIO, since
+software control of gpios is allowed only in GPIO mode.  By selecting any
+other .func, you assign the gpio to another piece of hardware and lose
+control of it from gpiolib.  You can still reserve such gpios with gpio_request
+to prevent other modules from using them while they're in such a state,
+but other gpiolib functions will not behave as you expect if .func != GPIO.
+
+If a configuration is omitted, nothing will happen at the relevant transitions.
+This allows for the creation of 'static configurations' which do not
+change as the line is requested and freed.
 
 Static Configurations
 =====================
 
 To install a static configuration, which is applied at boot and does
 not change after that, install a configuration with a suspended component

 This mechanism allows for "auto-request" of gpiomux lines via gpiolib

-
-About Output-Enable Settings
-============================
-
-Some msm targets do not have the ability to query the current gpio
-configuration setting.  This means that changes made to the output-enable
-(OE) bit by gpiolib cannot be consistently detected and preserved by gpiomux.
-Therefore, when gpiomux applies a configuration setting, any direction
-settings which may have been applied by gpiolib are lost and the default
-input settings are re-applied.
-
-For this reason, drivers should not assume that gpio direction settings
-continue to hold if they free and then re-request a gpio.  This seems like
-common sense - after all, anybody could have obtained the line in the
-meantime - but it needs saying.
-
-This also means that calls to msm_gpiomux_write will reset the OE bit,
-which means that if the gpio line is held by a client of gpiolib and
-msm_gpiomux_write is called, the direction setting has been lost and
-gpiolib's internal state has been broken.
-Release gpio lines before reconfiguring them.
