[PATCH] gpio: Allow user to customise maximum number of GPIOs

Christophe Leroy
2022-08-09T10:41:48Z

At the time being, the default maximum number of GPIOs is set to 512
and can only get customised via an architecture specific
CONFIG_ARCH_NR_GPIO.

The maximum number of GPIOs might be dependent on the number of
interface boards and is somewhat independent of architecture.

Allow the user to select that maximum number outside of any
architecture configuration. To enable that, re-define a
core CONFIG_ARCH_NR_GPIO for architectures which don't already
define one. Guard it with a new hidden CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NR_GPIO.

Only two architectures will need CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NR_GPIO: x86 and arm.

On arm, do like x86 and set 512 as the default instead of 0, that
allows simplifying the logic in asm-generic/gpio.h
