Make it possible to name the producer side of a GPIO line using a "gpio-line-names" property array, modeled on the "clock-output-names" property from the clock bindings. This naming is especially useful for: - Debugging: lines are named after function, not just opaque offset numbers. - Exploration: systems where some or all GPIO lines are available to end users, such as prototyping, one-off's "makerspace usecases" users are helped by the names of the GPIO lines when tinkering. This usecase has been surfacing recently. The gpio-line-names attribute is completely optional. Example output from lsgpio on a patched Snowball tree: GPIO chip: gpiochip6, "8000e180.gpio", 32 GPIO lines line 0: unnamed unused line 1: "AP_GPIO161" "extkb3" [kernel] line 2: "AP_GPIO162" "extkb4" [kernel] line 3: "ACCELEROMETER_INT1_RDY" unused [kernel] line 4: "ACCELEROMETER_INT2" unused line 5: "MAG_DRDY" unused [kernel] line 6: "GYRO_DRDY" unused [kernel] line 7: "RSTn_MLC" unused line 8: "RSTn_SLC" unused line 9: "GYRO_INT" unused line 10: "UART_WAKE" unused line 11: "GBF_RESET" unused line 12: unnamed unused Cc: Grant Likely <grant.likely@linaro.org> Cc: Amit Kucheria <amit.kucheria@linaro.org> Cc: David Mandala <david.mandala@linaro.org> Cc: Lee Campbell <leecam@google.com> Cc: devicetree@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Michael Welling <mwelling@ieee.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> |
