OK. Then you think it would be better to add support for alarm GPIOs support in the g762. The problem is that we should have to find a generic way to do that. After all, we could want the very same modification for a bunch of fan drivers. Simon -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

After all, the interrupt handling logic is different for each chip, and there are non-DT systems out there. The g762 property should probably be something like g762 at 3e { compatible = "gmt,g762"; reg = <0x3e>; clocks = <&g762_clk>; interrupt-parent = <&gpio0>; interrupts = <25 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; }; struct i2c_client has an irq field, and as far as I can see it is filled in automatically from the dt node.

Moreover it seems to me that g763 controller (compatible) supports alert interrupts through SMBus. Then maybe we should save the "interrupts" property for this signal ? Don't you think it would be more explicit to have a separate DT property (such as "gpio-alarm") and also a dedicated field in the g762 platform data structure ?

Well, I think we are interested in both the interrupt signal _and_ the GPIO value. We need to display the later through the sysfs fan1_alarm file. Using the irq field from struct i2c_client is quite handy but the GPIO polarity information is lost... That's why I think we should probably use a dedicated property. > > >Moreover it seems to me that g763 controller (compatible) supports > >alert interrupts through SMBus.
