[PATCH 0/4] Pinmux subsystem

[kmpark@infradead.org (Kyungmin Park)]

Hi,

In real scenario, we can set the full pins at once, but sometimes it
needs to set the function only one,

e.g.,

static void __init goni_radio_init(void)
{
        int gpio;

        gpio = S5PV210_GPJ2(4);                 /* XMSMDATA_4 */
        gpio_request(gpio, "FM_INT");
        s3c_gpio_cfgpin(gpio, S3C_GPIO_SFN(0xf));
        i2c1_devs[0].irq = gpio_to_irq(gpio);

        gpio = S5PV210_GPJ2(5);                 /* XMSMDATA_5 */
        gpio_request(gpio, "FM_RST");
        gpio_direction_output(gpio, 1);
}

In this case we only need to set the function at interrupt by like
s3c_gpio_cfgpin(gpio, S3C_GPIO_SFN(0xf));
So pinmux function provides this feature also.

How do you think?

Thank you,
Kyungmin Park
