Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] gpio: regmap: Support sparsed fixed direction
Date: Fri, 08 May 2026 14:51:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260508-regmap-gpio-sparse-fixed-dir-v2-1-deee84df3027@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260508-regmap-gpio-sparse-fixed-dir-v2-0-deee84df3027@kernel.org>
On some regmapped GPIOs apparently only a sparser selection
of the lines (not all) are actually fixed direction.
Support this situation by adding an optional bitmap indicating
which GPIOs are actually fixed direction and which are not.
