Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski: "For this merge window we have two new drivers: support for GPIO-signalled ACPI events on Intel platforms and a generic GPIO-over-pinctrl driver using the ARM SCMI protocol for controlling pins. Several things have been reworked in GPIO core: we unduplicated GPIO hog handling, reduced the number of SRCU locks and dereferences, improved support for software-node-based lookup and removed more legacy code after converting remaining users to modern alternatives. There's also a number of driver reworks and refactoring, documentation updates, some bug-fixes and new tests. GPIO core: - defer probe on software node lookups when the remote software node exists but has not been registered as a firmware node yet - unify GPIO hog handling by moving code duplicated in OF and ACPI modules into GPIO core and allow setting up hogs with software nodes - allow matching GPIO controllers by secondary firmware node if matching by primary does not succeed - demote deferral warnings to debug level as they are quite normal when using software nodes which don't support fw_devlink yet - disable the legacy GPIO character device uAPI v1 supprt in Kconfig by default - rework several core functions in preparation for the upcoming Revocable helper library for protecting resources against sudden removal, this reduces the number of SRCU dereferences in GPIO core - simplify file descriptor logic in GPIO character device code by using FD_PREPARE() - introduce a header defining symbols used by both GPIO consumers and providers to avoid having to include provider-specific headers from drivers which only consume GPIOs - replace snprintf() with strscpy() where formatting is not required New drivers: - add the gpio-by-pinctrl generic driver using the ARM SCMI protocol to control GPIOs (along with SCMI changes pulled from the pinctrl tree) - add a driver providing support for handling of platform events via GPIO-signalled ACPI events (used on Intel Nova Lake and later platforms) Driver changes: - extend the gpio-kempld driver with support for more recent models, interrupts and setting/getting multiple values at once - improve interrupt handling in gpio-brcmstb - add support for multi-SoC systems in gpio-tegra186 - make sure we return correct values from the .get() callbacks in several GPIO drivers by normalizing any values other than 0, 1 or negative error numbers - use flexible arrays in several drivers to reduce the number of required memory allocations - simplify synchronous waiting for virtual drivers to probe and remove the dedicated, a bit overengineered helper library dev-sync-probe - remove unneeded Kconfig dependencies on OF_GPIO in several drivers and subsystems - convert the two remaining users of of_get_named_gpio() to using GPIO descriptors and remove the (no longer used) function along with the header that declares it - add missing includes in gpio-mmio - shrink and simplify code in gpio-max732x by using guard(mutex) - remove duplicated code handling the 'ngpios' property from gpio-ts4800, it's already handled in GPIO core - use correct variable type in gpio-aspeed - add support for a new model in gpio-realtek-otto - allow to specify the active-low setting of simulated hogs over the configfs interface (in addition to existing devicetree support) in gpio-sim Bug fixes: - clear the OF_POPULATED flag on hog nodes in GPIO chip remove path on OF systems - fix resource leaks in error path in gpiochip_add_data_with_key() - drop redundant device reference in gpio-mpsse Tests: - add selftests for use-after-free cases in GPIO character device code DT bindings: - add a DT binding document for SCMI based, gpio-over-pinctrl devices - fix interrupt description in microchip,mpfs-gpio - add new compatible for gpio-realtek-otto - describe the resets of the mpfs-gpio controller - fix maintainer's email in gpio-delay bindings - remove the binding document for cavium,thunder-8890 as the corresponding device is bound over PCI and not firmware nodes Documentation: - update the recommended way of converting legacy boards to using software nodes for GPIO description - describe GPIO line value semantics - misc updates to kerneldocs Misc: - convert OMAP1 ams-delta board to using GPIO hogs described with software nodes" * tag 'gpio-updates-for-v7.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linux: (79 commits) gpio: swnode: defer probe on references to unregistered software nodes dt-bindings: gpio: cavium,thunder-8890: Remove DT binding Documentation: gpio: update the preferred method for using software node lookup gpio: gpio-by-pinctrl: s/used to do/is used to do/ gpio: aspeed: fix unsigned long int declaration gpio: rockchip: convert to dynamic GPIO base allocation gpio: remove dev-sync-probe gpio: virtuser: stop using dev-sync-probe gpio: aggregator: stop using dev-sync-probe gpio: sim: stop using dev-sync-probe gpio: Add Intel Nova Lake ACPI GPIO events driver gpiolib: Make deferral warnings debug messages gpiolib: fix hogs with multiple lines gpio: fix up CONFIG_OF dependencies gpio: gpio-by-pinctrl: add pinctrl based generic GPIO driver gpio: dt-bindings: Add GPIO on top of generic pin control firmware: arm_scmi: Allow PINCTRL_REQUEST to return EOPNOTSUPP pinctrl: scmi: ignore PIN_CONFIG_PERSIST_STATE pinctrl: scmi: Delete PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_IMPEDANCE_OHMS support pinctrl: scmi: Add SCMI_PIN_INPUT_VALUE ...

It is not clearly documented that the GPIO driver API expect the driver to get/set the physical level of the GPIO line and the consumer API will get/set the logic level. Document this in relevant places.

gpio: introduce a header for symbols shared by suppliers and consumers

2026-02-27T08:49:43+00:00

GPIO_LINE_DIRECTION_IN/OUT definitions are used both in supplier (GPIO controller drivers) as well as consumer code. In order to not force the consumers to include gpio/driver.h or - even worse - to redefine these values, create a new header file - gpio/defs.h - and move them over there. Include this header from both gpio/consumer.h and gpio/driver.h.

gpio: provide gpiod_is_shared()

2025-11-17T09:16:51+00:00

Provide an interface allowing consumers to check if a GPIO descriptor represents a GPIO that can potentially be shared by multiple consumers at the same time. This is exposed to allow subsystems that already work around the limitations of the current non-exclusive GPIO handling in some ways, to gradually convert to relying on the new shared GPIO feature of GPIOLIB. Extend the gpiolib-shared module to mark the GPIO shared proxy descriptors with a flag checked by the new interface.
