Subject: [patch 2.6.24-rc4-mm 2/6] gpiolib: more CONFIG_DEBUG_GPIO diagnostics
Date: Sun, 9 Dec 2007 20:39:38 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200712092039.38917.david-b@pacbell.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200712092022.14062.david-b@pacbell.net>

From: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net>

Update gpiolib behavior with CONFIG_DEBUG_GPIO to include messages
on some fault paths that are common during bringup:  gpiochip_add,
gpio_request, and the two gpio_direction_* calls.

Also morph that CONFIG symbol into compile-time -DDEBUG.
