Subject: [PATCH RFC/RFT 07/15] gpio: sysfs: add a parallel class device for each GPIO chip using device IDs
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2025 16:38:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250610-gpio-sysfs-chip-export-v1-7-a8c7aa4478b1@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250610-gpio-sysfs-chip-export-v1-0-a8c7aa4478b1@linaro.org>
From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>
In order to enable moving away from the global GPIO numberspace-based
exporting of lines over sysfs: add a parallel, per-chip entry under
/sys/class/gpio/ for every registered GPIO chip, denoted by device ID
in the file name and not its base GPIO number.
Compared to the existing chip group: it does not contain the "base"
attribute as the goal of this change is to not refer to GPIOs by their
global number from user-space anymore. It also contains its own,
per-chip export/unexport attribute pair which allow to export lines by
their hardware offset within the chip.
Caveat #1: the new device cannot be a link to (or be linked to by) the
existing "gpiochip<BASE>" entry as we cannot create links in
/sys/class/xyz/.
Caveat #2: the new entry cannot be named "gpiochipX" as it could
conflict with devices whose base is statically defined to a low number.
Let's go with "chipX" instead.
