Subject: [PATCH] pinctrl: mediatek: common-v1: Directly modify registers to set GPIO direction
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 14:17:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427061720.2393355-1-wenst@chromium.org> (raw)

pinctrl_gpio_direction_input() / pinctrl_gpio_direction_output() take
the pinctrl mutex. This causes a gpiochip operations to need to sleep.
Worse yet, the .can_sleep field in the gpiochip is not set. This causes
the shared GPIO proxy to trip over, as it uses gpiod_cansleep() to check
whether it can use a spinlock or needs a mutex. In this case, it ends
up taking a spinlock, then calls pinctrl_gpio_direction_output(), which
takes a mutex. This causes a huge warning.

Since the Mediatek hardware has separate clear/set registers, there is
no risk of clobbering other bits like with a read-modify-write pattern.
Switch to directly setting the GPIO direction register bits to avoid
the mutex.

Only compile tested. Accidentally fixed the wrong file when my target
actually used pinctrl-paris.c
