2014-07-24gpio: remove gpio_ensure_requested()Alexandre Courbot
gpio_ensure_requested() has been introduced in Feb. 2008 by commit d2876d08d86f2 to force users of the GPIO API to explicitly request GPIOs before using them. Hopefully by now all GPIOs are correctly requested and this extra check can be omitted ; in any case the GPIO maintainers won't feel bad if machines start failing after 6 years of warnings. This patch removes that function from the dark ages. Signed-off-by: Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
2014-07-23gpio: move gpio_ensure_requested() into legacy C fileAlexandre Courbot
gpio_ensure_requested() only makes sense when using the integer-based GPIO API, so make sure it is called from there instead of the gpiod API which we know cannot be called with a non-requested GPIO anyway. The uses of gpio_ensure_requested() in the gpiod API were kind of out-of-place anyway, so putting them in gpio-legacy.c helps clearing the code. Actually, considering the time this ensure_requested mechanism has been around, maybe we should just turn this patch into "remove gpio_ensure_requested()" if we know for sure that no user depend on it anymore?

2014-07-23gpio: remove gpiod_lock/unlock_as_irq()Alexandre Courbot
gpio_lock/unlock_as_irq() are working with (chip, offset) arguments and are thus not using the old integer namespace. Therefore, there is no reason to have gpiod variants of these functions working with descriptors, especially since the (chip, offset) tuple is more suitable to the users of these functions (GPIO drivers, whereas GPIO descriptors are targeted at GPIO consumers).

2014-07-23gpio: Add support for GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW to gpio_request_one functionsGuenter Roeck
The gpio include file and the gpio documentation declare and document GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW as one of the flags to be passed to gpio_request_one and related functions. However, the flag is not evaluated or used. This can cause problems in at least two areas: First, the same API can be used to auto-export pins to user space. The missing support for GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW results in unexpected behavior for such auto-exported pins. Second, the requested gpio pin can be convered for use by gpiod functions with gpio_to_desc(). While gpio API functions do not support GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW, gpiod functions do, which again results in unexpected behavior. Check the flag in gpio_request_one and set the gpio internal flag FLAG_ACTIVE_LOW if it is set to address those problems.

2014-07-09gpio: move integer GPIO support to its own fileAlexandre Courbot
The old integer GPIO interface is, in effect, a privileged user of the gpiod interface. Reflect this fact further by moving legacy GPIO support into its own source file. This makes the code clearer and will allow us to disable legacy GPIO support in the (far) future.
