[PATCH] gpio: omap: use dynamic allocation of base

[PATCH] gpio: omap: use dynamic allocation of base

[Andreas Kemnade]

Static allocatin is deprecated and may cause probe mess,
if probe order is unusual.

like this example
[    2.553833] twl4030_gpio twl4030-gpio: gpio (irq 145) chaining IRQs 161..178
[    2.561401] gpiochip_find_base: found new base at 160
[    2.564392] gpio gpiochip5: (twl4030): added GPIO chardev (254:5)
[    2.564544] gpio gpiochip5: registered GPIOs 160 to 177 on twl4030
[...]
[    2.692169] omap-gpmc 6e000000.gpmc: GPMC revision 5.0
[    2.697357] gpmc_mem_init: disabling cs 0 mapped at 0x0-0x1000000
[    2.703643] gpiochip_find_base: found new base at 178
[    2.704376] gpio gpiochip6: (omap-gpmc): added GPIO chardev (254:6)
[    2.704589] gpio gpiochip6: registered GPIOs 178 to 181 on omap-gpmc
[...]
[    2.840393] gpio gpiochip7: Static allocation of GPIO base is deprecated, use dynamic allocation.
[    2.849365] gpio gpiochip7: (gpio-160-191): GPIO integer space overlap, cannot add chip
[    2.857513] gpiochip_add_data_with_key: GPIOs 160..191 (gpio-160-191) failed to register, -16
[    2.866149] omap_gpio 48310000.gpio: error -EBUSY: Could not register gpio chip

So probing was done in an unusual order, causing mess
and chips not getting their gpio in the end.

This could potentially break some legacy user-space programs using
sysfs but whatever, let's apply it and see if anyone complains.

Worth a try for sure, fingers crossed. I guess /sys/class/gpio will
break at least.

FWIW, this broke users pace on my side.
Not a super big deal, I'll just revert this patch for now.
Maybe the application in question can get rewritten to find the gpio by label.

Ugh we might need to back this out if the userspace is critical
and you need it.

Ideally userspace should use libgpiod for GPIO access, but I understand
if it's a higher bar.

In the meanwhile I've explained to everyone involved on the project
that gpiod is the way
to go and the application will get changed. So, no worries. :-)

But I'm not sure about other applications in the wild, writing a
number to /sys/class/gpio/export is just too easy
and people assume the numbers are stable.

Dangerous but beautiful change. Let's be brave.

I wouldn't do that from the outset. If there are no problems
for a few kernel releases we can think about doing that.

I have the impression that numbering somehow changed here.
In earlier kernel, omap_gpmc started at >400 and gpio-twl4030 also
(both base = -1 now), so no conflicts with the static allocation of
the soc-gpios.  I have not investigated/bisected yet. But perhaps
additionally, a patch ensuring that dynamic allocation starts at
a higher number to not interfer with static numbering with be interesting.

That could then be more easily backportable.

Andreas
