[PATCH v2 0/3] Input: rotary-encoder - use more than two gpios

["Uwe Kleine-König" <u.kleine-koenig-bIcnvbaLZ9MEGnE8C9+IrQ@public.gmane.org>]

Hello,

Some time ago I sent a v1 of this, now after testing the changes more
deeply patch 3 changed a bit. The old series started with

	Message-Id: <1449050834-31779-1-git-send-email-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>                                                      

The two first patches are just preparation for the third patch.

There is an obvious improvement that allows detection of quick changes
more reliably with >2 gpios, but I didn't implement this yet. (With 4
GPIOs you can distinguish a counter clockwise movement of three states
from a clock wise movement of a single state. Still the patch is useful
as it makes these devices work at all.

My test device looks as follows:

        rotary@0 {
                compatible = "rotary-encoder";
                gpios = <&gpio4 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, <&gpio4 11 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, <&gpio4 10 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, <&gpio4 9 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

                rotary-encoder,steps = <16>;
		rotary-encoder,steps-per-period = <16>;
        };

While Daniel Mack and Rojhalat Ibrahim agreed that this device is an
absolute encoder and should be supported by a simpler logic, I still
consider it worthwhile to get these patches in as a first step. Also the
binding looks right, so IMHO the comments shouldn't stop this series
from going in.

Best regards
Uwe

  Input: rotary-encoder - make use of devm_* to simplify .probe and
    .remove
  Input: rotary-encoder - move configuration data to driver data
  Input: rotary-encoder - support more than 2 gpios as input
