2013-12-12gpiolib: return -ENOENT if no GPIO mapping existsAlexandre Courbot
Some devices drivers make use of optional GPIO parameters. For such drivers, it is important to discriminate between the case where no GPIO mapping has been defined for the function they are requesting, and the case where a mapping exists but an error occured while resolving it or when acquiring the GPIO. This patch changes the family of gpiod_get() functions such that they will return -ENOENT if and only if no GPIO mapping is defined for the requested function. Other error codes are used when an actual error occured during the GPIO resolution.

2013-12-09gpio: better lookup method for platform GPIOsAlexandre Courbot
Change the format of the platform GPIO lookup tables to make them less confusing and improve lookup efficiency. The previous format was a single linked-list that required to compare the device name and function ID of every single GPIO defined for each lookup. Switch that to a list of per-device tables, so that the lookup can be done in two steps, omitting the GPIOs that are not relevant for a particular device. The matching rules are now defined as follows: - The device name must match *exactly*, and can be NULL for GPIOs not assigned to a particular device, - If the function ID in the lookup table is NULL, the con_id argument of gpiod_get() will not be used for lookup. However, if it is defined, it must match exactly. - The index must always match.

2013-11-25Documentation: gpiolib: document new interfaceAlexandre Courbot
gpiolib now exports a new descriptor-based interface which deprecates the older integer-based one. This patch documents this new interface and also takes the opportunity to brush-up the GPIO documentation a little bit. The new descriptor-based interface follows the same consumer/driver model as many other kernel subsystems (e.g. clock, regulator), so its documentation has similarly been splitted into different files. The content of the former documentation has been reused whenever it made sense; however, some of its content did not apply to the new interface anymore and have this been removed. Likewise, new sections like the mapping of GPIOs to devices have been written from scratch. The deprecated legacy-based documentation is still available, untouched, under Documentation/gpio/gpio-legacy.txt.
