[PATCH 0/5] gpio: of: Add error handling and support for multiple gpio in gpio-hog

[Laxman Dewangan]

This series enhance the error print by adding error number in print message,
handle the error if gpio_hogd() fails and returns error to caller, and
add the support of multiple GPIOs to be passed from property "gpios" under
gpio hogd node.

  gpio: of: Scan available child node for gpio-hog

  gpio: of: Return error if gpio hog configuration failed
  gpio: of: Add support to have multiple gpios in gpio-hog

[PATCH 1/5] gpio: of: Scan available child node for gpio-hog

[Laxman Dewangan]

[PATCH 2/5] gpio: gpiolib: Print error number if gpio hog failed

[Laxman Dewangan]

Print the error number of GPIO hog failed during
its configurations. This helps in identifying the
failure without instrumenting the code.

You can do "return status;" now.

Please use up all 72 characters per line at your disposal. Excessively
short lines are hard to read.

I find this type of format hard to read. I prefer a semi-colon to
separate the message from the failure reason (i.e. error code).

Besides that I don't understand why you're dropping the parentheses
around the "chip %s, offset %d", I found that easier on the eye.

I did to accommodate the  3 extra character ( %d) for string format on 
that line as it was already near to 80 column.
Just did not want to split in multiple lines.

Note that strings shouldn't be split across lines since it makes it 
harder to grep for them. This is one case where the 80-column limit 
isn't strict, within reason.

OK, so not change the existing string, just add new  format.

[PATCH 3/5] gpio: of: Return error if gpio hog configuration failed

[Laxman Dewangan]

If GPIO hog configuration failed while adding OF based
gpiochip() then return the error instead of ignoring it.

This helps of properly handling the gpio driver dependency.

When adding the gpio hog nodes for NVIDIA's Tegra210 platforms,
the gpio_hogd() fails with EPROBE_DEFER because pinctrl is not
ready at this time and gpio_request() for Tegra GPIO driver
returns error. The error was not causing the Tegra GPIO driver
to fail as the error was getting ignored.

If there are multiple child nodes (which the code above is looping 
over), and the hog for entries 0, 1, 2 succeed and the hog for entry 3 
fails, don't you need to go back and unhog for nodes 0..2 so that the 
next time this function is called, those hogs won't already be in place 
thus preventing them from being hogged the second time around? Or does 
hogging not take ownership of the resource and thus prevent it from 
being acquired again?

The gpiolib take care per the error handling:

         status = of_gpiochip_add(chip);
         if (status)
                 goto err_remove_chip;

:::
err_remove_chip:
         acpi_gpiochip_remove(chip);
         gpiochip_free_hogs(chip);
         of_gpiochip_remove(chip);

[PATCH 4/5] gpio: of: Add support to have multiple gpios in gpio-hog

[Laxman Dewangan]

The child node for gpio hogs under gpio controller's node
provide the mechanism to automatic GPIO request and
configuration as part of the gpio-controller's driver
probe function.

Currently, property "gpio" takes one gpios for such
configuration. Add support to have multiple GPIOs in
this property so that multiple GPIOs of gpio-controller
can be configured by this mechanism with one child node.

So if I read this correctly you want to have multiple GPIOs with the
same line name? Why don't you use multiple child nodes with individual
line names?

There is cases on which particular functional configuration needs sets 
of GPIO to set. On this case, making sub node for each GPIOs creates 
lots of sub-nodes and  add complexity on readability, usability and 
maintainability.
Example: for my board, I wanted to set GPIO H2 to input and H0 and H1 to 
be output high.
Instead of three nodes, I can have two here:
        gpio@0,6000d000 {
                wlan_input {
                        gpio-hog;
                        gpios = <TEGRA_GPIO(H, 2) 0>;
                        input;
                };

                wlan_output {
                        gpio-hog;
                        gpios = <TEGRA_GPIO(H, 0) 0 TEGRA_GPIO(H, 1) 0>;
                        output-high;
                };
        };

So here I am grouping the multiple output GPIO together.

This looks much similar if we have many GPIOs for one type of 
configurations.

Even it looks better if we have something:
        gpio@0,6000d000 {
                wlan_control {
                        gpio-hog;
                        gpios-input = <TEGRA_GPIO(H, 2) 0>;
                        gpios-output-high = <TEGRA_GPIO(H, 0) 0 
TEGRA_GPIO(H, 1) 0>;
                };
        };

The problem with that is the description used when acquiring the GPIO is 
just "wlan_input", "wlan_output", or "wlan_control". There's nothing to 
indicate what those individual pins do (perhaps one is a reset signal, 
one is a regulator enable, etc.?) By requiring separate nodes for each 
GPIO, then the node name can provide a meaningful semantic 
name/description for each GPIO, which provides much more information.

If the approach in this patch is acceptable though, I think you want to 
update the description of "gpios" (in the GPIO hog definition section) 
in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio.txt to mention that 
multiple GPIO entries are legal. Right now it says that property much 
contain exactly #gpio-cells, not a multiple of #gpio-cells.

On this case, we have already property "line-name" and passed the name 
of the gpio via this property.
The property names is "line-name" which is good for one string. We can 
support other property "line-names" with multiple string per GPIO index.

line-names = "wlan-reset", "wlan-enable";

I have 5th patch for this and will rearrange series as you suggested on 
5th patch.

There is currently a discussion about the future bindings for subnodes in GPIO
controller nodes. Please have a look at these two mail threads:

	"Device tree binding documentation for gpio-switch"
	"gpio: of: Add support to have multiple gpios in gpio-hog"

Second one is this patch only. Is it by intention?

The binding details about the gpio-switch and names are given by 
property "lable". I think property "label" is standard way of going 
forward i.e. I post similar patch for gpio-keys device name from DT 
after got review comment.

So here,  we can have the gpio names  under property "label" or "labels".


Or am I missing anything?

I agree.

Then what happens when someone wants to selectively disable gpio hogs?

status = "okay", "disabled", "okay";

While I often push things to fewer nodes and more compact descriptions, 
I don't think that is the right direction in this case.

label is standard. labels you just made up.

> Or am I missing anything?

The point is the more one off changes I see that are all inter-related, 
the less willing I am to accept any that don't consider all the cases. 
The inter-relationship here is how do we describe gpio lines that don't 
otherwise have a connection to another node and how to deal with them if 
that changes.

I dont think we need to support the individual gpio to be enable/disable 
by status.
We need to support the status property at node level only. if individual 
gpio need to be enabled/disabled by status then it need to break in 
different hog nodes.

This is same as like we have in pincontrol where we can provide the list 
of pin names for some configuration under same node.

Yaah, lables for plural only. Otherwise no issue with "label".

[PATCH 5/5] gpio: DT: Rephrase property "gpios" of hog node to support multiple gpios

[Laxman Dewangan]

The property "gpios" of GPIO hog node support the multiple GPIO entries.
Rephrase the details of this property for this new support.

Oh, I see the document is updated here. I think either patch 4 and 5 
should be swapped so the docs are updated first, or this should be 
squashed into patch 4.
