Subject: [PATCH 2/2] pinctrl: qcom: spmi-gpio: make direction changes exclusive
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 09:44:47 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915014447.282121-3-shengchao.guo@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915014447.282121-1-shengchao.guo@oss.qualcomm.com>

pmic_gpio_populate() seeds pad->input_enabled and pad->output_enabled from
the hardware MODE_CTL register, so a pad left in DIGITAL_INPUT or
DIGITAL_INPUT_OUTPUT mode by the bootloader starts out with the input
buffer enabled.  Neither direction callback clears the opposite buffer:
.direction_output() only packs PIN_CONFIG_LEVEL, which sets
output_enabled, and .direction_input() only packs PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_ENABLE,
which sets input_enabled.  Requesting either direction on such a pad
therefore programs MODE_DIGITAL_INPUT_OUTPUT rather than the requested
direction.

That silently breaks both directions.  After gpiod_direction_input() the
pad keeps driving the line, since the output buffer is never disabled.
And after gpiod_direction_output() pmic_gpio_get_direction() still reports
GPIO_LINE_DIRECTION_IN, because it cannot tell plain input from
input+output, which makes gpiolib consider the line an input while the
driver is driving it.  On a board where several regulator-fixed nodes
share one PMIC GPIO the shared GPIO proxy reads that direction back and
rejects every consumer after the first:

  reg-fixed-voltage regulator-wcn-core-vm-1p35: setup of GPIO (default) failed: -1
  reg-fixed-voltage regulator-wcn-core-vm-1p35: error -EPERM: can't get GPIO

Pack the opposite buffer's PIN_CONFIG_*_ENABLE along with the requested
direction so that the resulting MODE_CTL is DIGITAL_INPUT or
DIGITAL_OUTPUT, never both.  pmic_gpio_config_set() programs the registers
once after walking all configs, so this stays a single register write.

Pads that are genuinely bidirectional can still be described that way
through pinconf, which is the interface that has always been able to
express it; the gpiolib direction callbacks now mean what gpiolib says
they mean.
