[meta-intel] gpio sus configuration as interrupt

[Chew, Chiau Ee]

Just in case you interpret wrongly. When I mentioned "Our GPIO driver do support input/output direction setting and interrupt" means the driver support direction setting and interrupt enabling.
If you were to use gpio as interrupt, the direction has to be IN.

Thanks,
Chiau Ee

When you "cat /sys/kernel/debug", you may see the following info:
GPIOs 82-125, platform/byt_gpio.2, byt_gpio.2,:
.
.
GPIOs 126-153, platform/byt_gpio.1, byt_gpio.1:
.
.
GPIOs 154-255, platform/byt_gpio.0, byt_gpio.0:


To interpret the above output:
byt_gpio.2- Sus core (SUS)
byt_gpio.1- North core (NCORE)
byt_gpio.0 - South core (SCORE)

For eg: Let's said you want to request for pin 2 in SUS core. Referring to the above output (byt_gpio.2 section), basically GPIOs82 is the pin0 of SUS core. Thus, if you want to request pin 2 of SUS core, your target pin number would be (82+2) = 84

Our GPIO driver do support input/output direction setting and interrupt.  Maybe you can take a look at drivers/mmc/host/sdhc-pci.c as reference on how to request gpio as irq in kernel driver code (refer to sdhci_pci_add_own_cd()).  And /Documentation/gpio.txt would be a good reference as well  as what Darren has mentioned.

Thanks,
Chiau Ee

Gpiolib uses the Linux namespace for the GPIO lines, you just use those numbers, you do not differentiate based on register bank. See the output of /sys/kernel/debug/gpio for the ranges of each gpiochip (or bank in this case).

I personally have not done the gpios as interrupts so can't speak from experience there. The GPIO documentation does cover it though. Have you read through it?

Thanks all for providing valuable information.
another query here,please provide your iputs:
Iam configuring GPIOs belonging to each of the register banks as direction input/ouput & also as interrupts from a different kernel driver.Iam using gpiolib APIs like gpio_request(),gpio_to_irq() to achive this.How do I differentiate configuring GPIOs related to each of the register bank ?Is it possible to configure GPIOs as input/output & also as interrupts?If yes,how?

Thanks & Regards,
Kumar

Ah, great. Thank you Paul!
