Members

chip

GPIO IRQ chip implementation, provided by GPIO driver.

domain

Interrupt translation domain; responsible for mapping between GPIO hwirq number and Linux IRQ number.

domain_ops

Table of interrupt domain operations for this IRQ chip.

fwnode

Firmware node corresponding to this gpiochip/irqchip, necessary for hierarchical irqdomain support.

parent_domain

If non-NULL, will be set as the parent of this GPIO interrupt controller's IRQ domain to establish a hierarchical interrupt domain. The presence of this will activate the hierarchical interrupt support.

child_to_parent_hwirq

This callback translates a child hardware IRQ offset to a parent hardware IRQ offset on a hierarchical interrupt chip. The child hardware IRQs correspond to the GPIO index 0..ngpio-1 (see the ngpio field of struct gpio_chip) and the corresponding parent hardware IRQ and type (such as IRQ_TYPE_*) shall be returned by the driver. The driver can calculate this from an offset or using a lookup table or whatever method is best for this chip. Return 0 on successful translation in the driver.

If some ranges of hardware IRQs do not have a corresponding parent HWIRQ, return -EINVAL, but also make sure to fill in valid_mask and need_valid_mask to make these GPIO lines unavailable for translation.

populate_parent_fwspec

This optional callback populates the struct irq_fwspec for the parent's IRQ domain. If this is not specified, then gpiochip_populate_parent_fwspec_twocell will be used. A four-cell variant named gpiochip_populate_parent_fwspec_fourcell is also available.

child_offset_to_irq

This optional callback is used to translate the child's GPIO line offset on the GPIO chip to an IRQ number for the GPIO to_irq() callback. If this is not specified, then a default callback will be provided that returns the line offset.

child_irq_domain_ops

The IRQ domain operations that will be used for this GPIO IRQ chip. If no operations are provided, then default callbacks will be populated to setup the IRQ hierarchy. Some drivers need to supply their own translate function.

handler

The IRQ handler to use (often a predefined IRQ core function) for GPIO IRQs, provided by GPIO driver.

default_type

Default IRQ triggering type applied during GPIO driver initialization, provided by GPIO driver.

lock_key

Per GPIO IRQ chip lockdep class for IRQ lock.

request_key

Per GPIO IRQ chip lockdep class for IRQ request.

parent_handler

The interrupt handler for the GPIO chip's parent interrupts, may be NULL if the parent interrupts are nested rather than cascaded.

parent_handler_data

Data associated, and passed to, the handler for the parent interrupt.

num_parents

The number of interrupt parents of a GPIO chip.

parents

A list of interrupt parents of a GPIO chip. This is owned by the driver, so the core will only reference this list, not modify it.

map

A list of interrupt parents for each line of a GPIO chip.

threaded

True if set the interrupt handling uses nested threads.

init_valid_mask

optional routine to initialize valid_mask, to be used if not all GPIO lines are valid interrupts. Sometimes some lines just cannot fire interrupts, and this routine, when defined, is passed a bitmap in "valid_mask" and it will have ngpios bits from 0..(ngpios-1) set to "1" as in valid. The callback can then directly set some bits to "0" if they cannot be used for interrupts.

valid_mask

If not NULL holds bitmask of GPIOs which are valid to be included in IRQ domain of the chip.

first

Required for static IRQ allocation. If set, irq_domain_add_simple() will allocate and map all IRQs during initialization.

irq_enable

Store old irq_chip irq_enable callback

irq_disable

Store old irq_chip irq_disable callback

Members

label

a functional name for the GPIO device, such as a part number or the name of the SoC IP-block implementing it.

gpiodev

the internal state holder, opaque struct

parent

optional parent device providing the GPIOs

owner

helps prevent removal of modules exporting active GPIOs

request

optional hook for chip-specific activation, such as enabling module power and clock; may sleep

free

optional hook for chip-specific deactivation, such as disabling module power and clock; may sleep

get_direction

returns direction for signal "offset", 0=out, 1=in, (same as GPIOF_DIR_XXX), or negative error. It is recommended to always implement this function, even on input-only or output-only gpio chips.

direction_input

configures signal "offset" as input, or returns error This can be omitted on input-only or output-only gpio chips.

direction_output

configures signal "offset" as output, or returns error This can be omitted on input-only or output-only gpio chips.

get

returns value for signal "offset", 0=low, 1=high, or negative error

get_multiple

reads values for multiple signals defined by "mask" and stores them in "bits", returns 0 on success or negative error

set

assigns output value for signal "offset"

set_multiple

assigns output values for multiple signals defined by "mask"

set_config

optional hook for all kinds of settings. Uses the same packed config format as generic pinconf.

to_irq

optional hook supporting non-static gpio_to_irq() mappings; implementation may not sleep

dbg_show

optional routine to show contents in debugfs; default code will be used when this is omitted, but custom code can show extra state (such as pullup/pulldown configuration).

init_valid_mask

optional routine to initialize valid_mask, to be used if not all GPIOs are valid.

base

identifies the first GPIO number handled by this chip; or, if negative during registration, requests dynamic ID allocation. DEPRECATION: providing anything non-negative and nailing the base offset of GPIO chips is deprecated. Please pass -1 as base to let gpiolib select the chip base in all possible cases. We want to get rid of the static GPIO number space in the long run.

ngpio

the number of GPIOs handled by this controller; the last GPIO handled is (base + ngpio - 1).

names

if set, must be an array of strings to use as alternative names for the GPIOs in this chip. Any entry in the array may be NULL if there is no alias for the GPIO, however the array must be ngpio entries long. A name can include a single printk format specifier for an unsigned int. It is substituted by the actual number of the gpio.

can_sleep

flag must be set iff get()/set() methods sleep, as they must while accessing GPIO expander chips over I2C or SPI. This implies that if the chip supports IRQs, these IRQs need to be threaded as the chip access may sleep when e.g. reading out the IRQ status registers.

read_reg

reader function for generic GPIO

write_reg

writer function for generic GPIO

be_bits

if the generic GPIO has big endian bit order (bit 31 is representing line 0, bit 30 is line 1 ... bit 0 is line 31) this is set to true by the generic GPIO core. It is for internal housekeeping only.

reg_dat

data (in) register for generic GPIO

reg_set

output set register (out=high) for generic GPIO

reg_clr

output clear register (out=low) for generic GPIO

reg_dir_out

direction out setting register for generic GPIO

reg_dir_in

direction in setting register for generic GPIO

bgpio_dir_unreadable

indicates that the direction register(s) cannot be read and we need to rely on out internal state tracking.

bgpio_bits

number of register bits used for a generic GPIO i.e. <register width> * 8

bgpio_lock

used to lock chip->bgpio_data. Also, this is needed to keep shadowed and real data registers writes together.

bgpio_data

shadowed data register for generic GPIO to clear/set bits safely.

bgpio_dir

shadowed direction register for generic GPIO to clear/set direction safely. A "1" in this word means the line is set as output.

irq

Integrates interrupt chip functionality with the GPIO chip. Can be used to handle IRQs for most practical cases.

valid_mask

If not NULL holds bitmask of GPIOs which are valid to be used from the chip.

of_node

Pointer to a device tree node representing this GPIO controller.

of_gpio_n_cells

Number of cells used to form the GPIO specifier.

of_xlate

Callback to translate a device tree GPIO specifier into a chip- relative GPIO number and flags.

Description

A gpio_chip can help platforms abstract various sources of GPIOs so they can all be accessed through a common programing interface. Example sources would be SOC controllers, FPGAs, multifunction chips, dedicated GPIO expanders, and so on.

Each chip controls a number of signals, identified in method calls by "offset" values in the range 0..(ngpio - 1). When those signals are referenced through calls like gpio_get_value(gpio), the offset is calculated by subtracting base from the gpio number.

gpiochip_add_data(chip, data)

register a gpio_chip

Parameters

chip

the chip to register, with chip->base initialized

data

driver-private data associated with this chip

Context

potentially before irqs will work

Description

When gpiochip_add_data() is called very early during boot, so that GPIOs can be freely used, the chip->parent device must be registered before the gpio framework's arch_initcall(). Otherwise sysfs initialization for GPIOs will fail rudely.

gpiochip_add_data() must only be called after gpiolib initialization, ie after core_initcall().

If chip->base is negative, this requests dynamic assignment of a range of valid GPIOs.

Return

A negative errno if the chip can't be registered, such as because the chip->base is invalid or already associated with a different chip. Otherwise it returns zero as a success code.

struct gpio_pin_range

iterator for locating a specific gpio_chip

Parameters

void * data

data to pass to match function

int (*)(struct gpio_chip *chip, void *data) match

Callback function to check gpio_chip

Description

Similar to bus_find_device. It returns a reference to a gpio_chip as determined by a user supplied match callback. The callback should return 0 if the device doesn't match and non-zero if it does. If the callback is non-zero, this function will return to the caller and not iterate over any more gpio_chips.

struct lock_class_key * request_key

lockdep class for IRQ request

Description

This function closely associates a certain irqchip with a certain gpiochip, providing an irq domain to translate the local IRQs to global irqs in the gpiolib core, and making sure that the gpiochip is passed as chip data to all related functions. Driver callbacks need to use gpiochip_get_data() to get their local state containers back from the gpiochip passed as chip data. An irqdomain will be stored in the gpiochip that shall be used by the driver to handle IRQ number translation. The gpiochip will need to be initialized and registered before calling this function.

This function will handle two cell:ed simple IRQs and assumes all the pins on the gpiochip can generate a unique IRQ. Everything else need to be open coded.

void gpiochip_remove_pin_ranges(struct gpio_chip * chip)

remove all the GPIO <-> pin mappings

Parameters

return string iff signal was requested

Parameters

struct gpio_chip * chip

controller managing the signal

unsigned offset

of signal within controller's 0..(ngpio - 1) range

Description

Returns NULL if the GPIO is not currently requested, else a string. The string returned is the label passed to gpio_request(); if none has been passed it is a meaningless, non-NULL constant.

This function is for use by GPIO controller drivers. The label can help with diagnostics, and knowing that the signal is used as a GPIO can help avoid accidentally multiplexing it to another controller.

struct gpio_desc * gpiochip_request_own_desc(struct gpio_chip * chip, u16 hwnum, const char * label, enum gpio_lookup_flags lflags, enum gpiod_flags dflags)

Parameters

struct gpio_chip * chip

GPIO chip

u16 hwnum

hardware number of the GPIO for which to request the descriptor

Description

Function allows GPIO chip drivers to request and use their own GPIO descriptors via gpiolib API. Difference to gpiod_request() is that this function will not increase reference count of the GPIO chip module. This allows the GPIO chip module to be unloaded as needed (we assume that the GPIO chip driver handles freeing the GPIOs it has requested).
