[U-Boot] gpio: Question about gpio_set_value() implementation in spear_gpio.c

[Axel Lin]

Current code looks strange because no matter the value argument is 0 or 1
it always calls
	writel(1 << gpio, &regs->gpiodata[DATA_REG_ADDR(gpio)]);

And then gpio_get_value() always return 1.

I'm wondering if it needs to be fixed, something like below change:

diff --git a/drivers/gpio/spear_gpio.c b/drivers/gpio/spear_gpio.c
index d3c728e..8878608 100644
--- a/drivers/gpio/spear_gpio.c
+++ b/drivers/gpio/spear_gpio.c
@@ -52,7 +52,10 @@ int gpio_set_value(unsigned gpio, int value)
 {
 	struct gpio_regs *regs = (struct gpio_regs *)CONFIG_GPIO_BASE;
 
-	writel(1 << gpio, &regs->gpiodata[DATA_REG_ADDR(gpio)]);
+	if (value)
+		writel(1 << gpio, &regs->gpiodata[DATA_REG_ADDR(gpio)]);
+	else
+		writel(0, &regs->gpiodata[DATA_REG_ADDR(gpio)]);
 
 	return 0;
 }

writel(value << gpio, &regs->gpiodata[DATA_REG_ADDR(gpio)]);

Should do no? This would avoid the if block.

No, you need clrbits_le32() to unset the GPIO

You might want to use clrbits_le32() and setbits_le32() here, no?

Honestly, I ask this because I cannot find the detail datasheet for the gpio
control of this device. ( Just found the code looks strange).

Usually we can use clrbits_le32() and setbits_le32() helpers to set/clear
register bits. But if the only meaningful bit is "1 << gpio", simply use
"write 1 << gpio" and "write 0" saves a register read operation.

So maybe Stefan  or someone from ST can provide the information about gpio
control on this hardware.

Axel

I honestly have no idea how I tested this GPIO driver. That was too long
ago. And I don't have the time to dig out the hardware to do some
re-testing. But the code definitely looks wrong, so thanks for catching
this. Let's wait what the ST engineers have to comment here.

Thanks,
Stefan

Yes, this is the right way. It was a blunder. I am wondering no one ever 
tried to set a ZERO on any GPIO..

Thanks for pointing out
