[patch 0/2] iMX51 small fixes

[patch 0/2] iMX51 small fixes

[Arnaud Patard (Rtp)]

Hi,

This series is containing 2 small patches for iMX5 SoC.

The first one is touching at the gpiolib support. Currently, it's always
returning 0 as gpio value when configured as output so I've modified it to
report what we asked. I've only tested it by looking at /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
so I've no idea if this can actively break something.

The second one is less interesting. It's "only" fixing a build failure so not
a lot of things to say.

I've tested them against Sascha's Hauer imx-for-2.6.38 branch but they do apply
on current mainline tree.

Now you are not reading the actual pin state as with GPIO_PSR, but the
value that has been programmed into the output register (thus you
would not be able to determine whether an Open Drain output that is
programmed to HIGH is driven LOW by an external device).

Note that for being able to read back the actual pin state of an
output, the SION bit in the MUX_CTL register of the corresponding pad
has to be asserted.

yeah, I know. I didn't say it was the right fix. I noticed a problem and
proposed a solution.

Is it working no matter of the MUX_MODE setting ? I thought that it was
working only if the MUX_MODE setting was 0 and not for every possible
MUX_MODE setting.

Maybe only read GDIR on mx51?  Isn't the direction saved by gpiolib
somewhere in RAM?  Is the same needed on other SoCs, too (see below for
my grouping)?  Technically it's not needed at all I think.
(Documentation/gpio.txt has: "However, note that not all platforms can
read the value of output pins; those that can't should always return
zero.".  I didn't check if the implementation conforms here though.)

I wonder if cpu_is_mx51 is the right macro to test, I'd prefer something
like imx_gpio_vX().  IMHO the gpio stuff needs a major overhaul getting
rid of most runtime checks.

We have at least the following groups:

	mx1
	mx21, mx27
	mx25, mx31, mx35, mx51, mxc91231

("at least" in the sense that socs on different lines are different.
I don't guarantee that e.g. mx35 and mxc91231 are really equivalent.)

Best regards
Uwe

yeah, I know that the gpiolib allows that and in this case, it's always
returning 0 but while I was debugging an other problem, I wanted to read
output value and it was not working. The manual was not explicitely
saying it was not possible so I thought it was a bug and propose a
fix. Hopefully, sending this patch allows me to get more feedback and
tell me if I got something wrong and there's a better fix.

I used cpu_is_mx51() because I only had tested/seen that on imx515. I
wanted to avoid breaking other systems while trying to fix mine.
As regards getting rid of runtime checks, maybe registering different
gpiochip depending on the SoC would allow to check it a init time and no
more check later.

I can conform, that reading from GPIO_DR on mx35 works too. Also checked with 
the description is this register. It seem to show exactly what we want, 
regarding GPIO_GDIR value. So even evaluating GPIO_DIR isn't needed at all.
My fix was to simply replace GPIO_PSR with GPIO_DR.

Alexander

Please look also at Lothar Wa?mann's comments. I plan to test that later
but if setting the SION bit allows things to work correctly, setting it
by default for the GPIOs may be a better fix than my patch.
