[PATCH RTF 0/2] gpiolib: of: Handle threecell gpios

[Linus Walleij]

This adds some code in the gpiolib OF core to deal with
several gpio chip instances per OF node.

The change was prompted by the need of the Spacemit GPIO
controller.

[PATCH RTF 1/2] gpiolib: of: Use local variables

[Linus Walleij]

Instead of modifying the contents of the array of valued read
in from a phandle, use local variables to store the values.
This makes the code easier to read and the array immutable.

In addition to preparing for the next patch, this is much more
readable.

[PATCH RTF 2/2] gpiolib: of: Handle threecell GPIO chips

[Linus Walleij]

When describing GPIO controllers in the device tree, the ambition
of device tree to describe the hardware may require a three-cell
scheme:

gpios = <&gpio instance offset flags>;

This implements support for this scheme in the gpiolib OF core.

Drivers that want to handle multiple gpiochip instances from one
OF node need to implement a callback similar to this to
determine if a certain gpio chip is a pointer to the right
instance (pseudo-code):

struct my_gpio {
    struct gpio_chip gcs[MAX_CHIPS];
};

static bool my_of_node_instance_match(struct gpio_chip *gc
                                      unsigned int instance)
{
    struct my_gpio *mg = gpiochip_get_data(gc);

    if (instance >= MAX_CHIPS)
        return false;
    return (gc == &mg->gcs[instance];
}

probe() {
    struct my_gpio *mg;
    struct gpio_chip *gc;
    int i, ret;

    for (i = 0; i++; i < MAX_CHIPS) {
        gc = &mg->gcs[i];
        /* This tells gpiolib we have several instances per node */
        gc->of_gpio_n_cells = 3;
	gc->of_node_instance_match = my_of_node_instance_match;
        gc->base = -1;
        ...

        ret = devm_gpiochip_add_data(dev, gc, mg);
        if (ret)
            return ret;
    }
}

Rename the "simple" of_xlate function to "twocell" which is closer
to what it actually does.

In the device tree bindings, the provide node needs
to specify #gpio-cells = <3>; where the first cell is the instance
number:

gpios = <&gpio instance offset flags>;

Conversely ranges need to have four cells:

gpio-ranges = <&pinctrl instance gpio_offset pin_offset count>;

This is pseudocode, but either "(" not needed, or ")" missing.

I haven't looked for it, but is a DT binding update forthcoming?
