[PATCH v6 0/7] gpio: introduce a GPIO driver for SCMI

[PATCH v6 0/7] gpio: introduce a GPIO driver for SCMI

[Dan Carpenter]

This basically abandons my earlier attempts and goes back to Takahiro
Akashi's driver.  Here is the link to Takahiro's patchset:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231005025843.508689-1-takahiro.akashi@linaro.org/

v6: Fix a build error when CONFIG_PINCONF is disabled
    Fix the dt-binding subject and my email address
    Use pinconf_to_config_packed() instead of PIN_CONF_PACKED()

v5: Addresses Andy's cleanups to the driver.
    Adrresses Krzysztof's comments about the dt spec file.
    And almost all the subsystem prefixes were wrong.

v4: Addressed Andy's comments about kernel-doc
    Addressed Rob's comments on the spec file

v3: Forward ported Takahiro's patches and added some fixes ups to make
    it work on current kernels.

AKASHI Takahiro (3):
  pinctrl: introduce pinctrl_gpio_get_config()
  gpio: dt-bindings: Add GPIO on top of generic pin control
  gpio: gpio-by-pinctrl: add pinctrl based generic GPIO driver

Dan Carpenter (4):
  pinctrl: scmi: Add SCMI_PIN_INPUT_VALUE
  pinctrl: scmi: Delete PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_IMPEDANCE_OHMS support
  pinctrl: scmi: ignore PIN_CONFIG_PERSIST_STATE

[PATCH v6 2/7] pinctrl: scmi: Add SCMI_PIN_INPUT_VALUE

[Dan Carpenter]

The PIN_CONFIG_LEVEL parameter represents the value of the pin, whether
reading or writing to the pin.  In SCMI, the parameter is represented by
two different values SCMI_PIN_OUTPUT_VALUE for writing to a pin and
SCMI_PIN_INPUT_VALUE for reading.  The current code translates
PIN_CONFIG_LEVEL as SCMI_PIN_OUTPUT_VALUE (writing).

Add a function to translate it to either INPUT or OUTPUT depending on
whether it is called from a _get or _set() operation.

[PATCH v6 4/7] pinctrl: scmi: ignore PIN_CONFIG_PERSIST_STATE

[Dan Carpenter]

The PIN_CONFIG_PERSIST_STATE setting ensures that the pin state persists
across a sleep or controller reset.  The SCMI spec does not have an
equivalent command to this so just ignore it.

[PATCH v6 3/7] pinctrl: scmi: Delete PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_IMPEDANCE_OHMS support

[Dan Carpenter]

The argument for PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_IMPEDANCE_OHMS is supposed to
be expressed in terms of ohms.  But the pinctrl-scmi driver was
implementing it the same as PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT and writing either a
zero or one to the pin.

The SCMI protocol doesn't have an support configuration type so just
delete this code instead of replacing it.

[PATCH v6 5/7] firmware: arm_scmi: Allow PINCTRL_REQUEST to return EOPNOTSUPP

[Dan Carpenter]

The SCMI protocol specification says that the PINCTRL_REQUEST and
PINCTRL_RELEASE commands are optional.  So if the SCMI server returns
-EOPNOTSUPP, then treat that as success and continue.

v6 applied to this immutable branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl.git/log/?h=ib-scmi-pinctrl-gpio

Then merged into my devel branch for next.

Bartosz, you might want to pull it in!

Dan: thanks for your efforts to fix up the remaining hurdles and
bringing this to completion! Sometimes the last few % of work are
the hardest.

Also thanks to Takahiro for this idea: it worked out just like you
imagined.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
