* [PATCH 1/3] gpiolib: implement dynamic base allocation @ 2008-03-11 17:41 Anton Vorontsov 2008-03-11 20:49 ` David Brownell 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Anton Vorontsov @ 2008-03-11 17:41 UTC (permalink / raw) To: David Brownell; +Cc: Andrew Morton, linux-kernel If gpio_chip->base is negative during registration, gpiolib requests dynamic base allocation. This is useful for devices being registered at run-time (in contrast to platform devices). To avoid reusing any numbers that may have been explicitly assigned, but not yet registered, dynamic gpio base allocator will assign GPIO numbers from the biggest number on down, instead of from the smallest on up.

The issue isn't runtime or platform_device ... it's whether the numbers are defined by the board/platform, versus on-the fly.

Thanks, below is the patch with updated log. - - - - From: Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@ru.mvista.com> Subject: gpiolib: implement dynamic base allocation If gpio_chip->base is negative during registration, gpiolib requests dynamic base allocation.
