Note that drivers using the generic irqchip framework cannot be converted yet, but watch this space! + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Convert all GPIO chips to using the new, value returning line setters + +struct gpio_chip's set() and set_multiple() callbacks are now deprecated. They +return void and thus do not allow drivers to indicate failure to set the line +value back to the caller. + +We've now added new variants - set_rv() and set_multiple_rv() that return an +integer. Let's convert all GPIO drivers treewide to use the new callbacks, +remove the old ones and finally rename the new ones back to the old names. |
