[PATCH v3 0/2] mfd: arizona: Move IRQ GPIO to GPIO descriptor

[Linus Walleij]

Move the hack using a platform data-provided GPIO line to use
a proper devicetree-provided GPIO descriptor to poll the IRQ.

Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linusw@kernel.org>

Changes in v3:
- Reword the irq-gpios documentation as Charles Want it.
- Collect ACK.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260317-mfd-arizona-irq-v2-0-9ea546f517dc@kernel.org

Changes in v2:
- Instead of deleting the feature, migrate it properly to devicetree.
- Add irq-gpios devicetree bindings.
- Add code to handle irq-gpios for GPIO polling of IRQ line.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260314-mfd-arizona-irq-v1-1-4b77f524f832@kernel.org

[PATCH v3 1/2] dt-bindings: mfd: wlf,arizona: Add irq-gpios

[Linus Walleij]

The Wolfson Microelectronics Arizona sometimes needs to poll the
GPIO line corresponding to the IRQ to counter bugs in the hardware
that appear on edge-triggered IRQs.

For this situation, provide the optional irq-gpios property.

[PATCH v3 2/2] mfd: arizona: Convert GPIO IRQ handling to descriptors

[Linus Walleij]

Convert the arizona polling GPIO handling to use a GPIO descripor
instead of passing a global GPIO number as platform data.

This mechanism is not used in the kernel, but let's preserve
the mechanism to be nice.

Users can define "irq-gpios" in the devicetree or software node
for the Arizona chip to provide the GPIO line corresponding to
the IRQ.

Since this function is called from the probe path and may return
-EPROBE_DEFER, should we use `dev_err_probe()` here to handle deferred
probing correctly?

How about a little for info for the user:

  "IRQ %d does not match GPIO's IRQ %d"
