But what about for Andy's Galileo Gen 2 case, where the GPIO > number in ACPI is truly broken? Well if the ACPI table truely simply has a wrong number in it, like in this case, then we clearly need a workaround. > ba8c90c61847 ("gpio: pca953x: Override IRQ for one of the expanders on Galileo Gen 2") And we have one in place, so I'm not sure what the question is? I guess the question is of your generic GPIO renumber patch would not be a better answer to that ? IMHO no, we want to keep quirks out of the core as much as possible, for example the code which Andy added a quirk to is build as a module in the generic Fedora distro kernel, so for most users the code will not be loaded into memory. Where as if we add it to the core it would use up extra memory for everyone. Also if, in the future, we were to ever add a generic GPIO renumber quirk mechanism to the core, then your code would need more work. Because to be truely generic it would need to remap one gpiochip-name:pin-number on another gpiochip-name:pin-number pair. There might very well be a case with multiple gpiochips with pin number 32 being referenced in the DSDT and where we need to remap one of those 32-s to a different number (or possibly even to a different chip + number).
