Extcon: support mutually exclusive relation between cables.

2012-04-20T16:24:03+00:00

There could be cables that t recannot be attaches simulatenously. Extcon
device drivers may express such information via mutually_exclusive in
struct extcon_dev.

For example, for an extcon device with 16 cables (bits 0 to 15 are
available), if mutually_exclusive = { 0x7, 0xC0, 0x81, 0 }, then, the
following attachments are prohibitted.
{0, 1}
{0, 2}
{1, 2}
{6, 7}
{0, 7}
and every attachment set that are superset of one of the above.
For the detail, please refer to linux/include/linux/extcon.h.

The concept is suggested by NeilBrown

Extcon: support multiple states at a device.

2012-04-20T16:23:37+00:00

One switch device (e.g., MUIC(MAX8997, MAX77686, ...), and some 30-pin
devices) may have multiple cables attached. For example, one
30-pin port may inhabit a USB cable, an HDMI cable, and a mic.
Thus, one switch device requires multiple state bits each representing
a type of cable.

For such purpose, we use the 32bit state variable; thus, up to 32
different type of cables may be defined for a switch device. The list of
possible cables is defined by the array of cable names in the switch_dev
struct given to the class.

Extcon (external connector): import Android's switch class and modify.

2012-04-20T16:21:11+00:00

External connector class (extcon) is based on and an extension of
Android kernel's switch class located at linux/drivers/switch/.

This patch provides the before-extension switch class moved to the
location where the extcon will be located (linux/drivers/extcon/) and
updates to handle class properly.

The before-extension class, switch class of Android kernel, commits
imported are:

switch: switch class and GPIO drivers. (splitted)
Author: Mike Lockwood 

switch: Use device_create instead of device_create_drvdata.
Author: Arve Hjønnevåg 

In this patch, upon the commits of Android kernel, we have added:
- Relocated and renamed for extcon.
- Comments, module name, and author information are updated
- Code clean for successing patches
- Bugfix: enabling write access without write functions
- Class/device/sysfs create/remove handling
- Added comments about uevents
- Format changes for extcon_dev_register() to have a parent dev.

Changes from v7
- Compiler error fixed when it is compiled as a module.
- Removed out-of-date Kconfig entry

Changes from v6
- Updated comment/strings
- Revised "Android-compatible" mode.
   * Automatically activated if CONFIG_ANDROID && !CONFIG_ANDROID_SWITCH
   * Creates /sys/class/switch/*, which is a copy of /sys/class/extcon/*

Changes from v5
- Split the patch
- Style fixes
- "Android-compatible" mode is enabled by Kconfig option.

Changes from v2
- Updated name_show
- Sysfs entries are handled by class itself.
- Updated the method to add/remove devices for the class
- Comments on uevent send
- Able to become a module
- Compatible with Android platform

Changes from RFC
- Renamed to extcon (external connector) from multistate switch
- Added a seperated directory (drivers/extcon)
- Added kerneldoc comments
- Removed unused variables from extcon_gpio.c
- Added ABI Documentation.
