pinctrl-msm only accepts an array of GPIOs from 0 to n-1, and it expects
each group to support have only one pin (npins == 1).

We can support "sparse" GPIO maps if we allow for some groups to have zero
pins (npins == 0).  These pins are "hidden" from the rest of the driver
and gpiolib.

A new boolean 'sparse' indicates whether the GPIO map is sparse.  If any
GPIO has an 'npins' value of 0, then 'sparse' must be set to True.

Most access to unavailable GPIOs can be blocked via the gpio_chip.request
function.  The one exception is when gpiochip_add_data() scans all of
the GPIOs without "requesting" them.  To cover this case,
msm_gpio_get_direction() separately checks if the GPIO is available.

I do not fancy the idea of specifying a bitmap of valid irq pins and
then having the driver register the pin-ranges in-between. If we provide
a bitmap of validity to the core it should support using this for the
pins as well. (Which I believe is what Linus answered in the discussion
following patch 0/2)

But that's exactly what abx500_gpio_probe() in pinctrl-abx500.c does. 
Here's even a reference to holes in the GPIO space:

/*
  * Compute number of GPIOs from the last SoC gpio range descriptors
  * These ranges may include "holes" but the GPIO number space shall
  * still be homogeneous, so we need to detect and account for any
  * such holes so that these are included in the number of GPIO pins.
  */

So you want to change "gpio_chip" to add an "available" callback?  And 
every time gpiolib wants to call a gpio_chip callback, it should call 
->available first?  Like this:

if (chip->available && chip->available())
	status = chip->direction_input(chip, gpio_chip_hwgpio(desc));

I can do that, but it just seems very redundant.  The core already knows 
not to touch GPIOs that are not in a pin range.  The only exception is 
gpiochip_add_data(), as I've stated before.

It just seems wrong to call an API every time to ask permission before 
we can call any other API.  But since the API may not be defined, we 
have to first check if the API exists before we can ask permission.

This driver is not a good example of what is desireable.

I am sorry that the kernel contains a lot of bad examples. These
are historical artifacts, they cannot be used as an argument to write
code in the same style.

I mean that you add
unsigned long *line_valid_mask;
to struct gpio_chip using the same type of logic
as .irq_valid_mask. The mask should be optional.

Then the operation gpiod_get[_index]() will FAIL if the
line is not valid.

There is no need to check on every operation, there should
be no way to get a handle on the pin any other way.

All new code should be using descriptors at this point so we
only need to design for that case.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

Hmmm okay

Just to be clear, you want gpiod_get_index() to check line_valid_mask 
(if present) and return -ENODEV if not valid?

Ok, I will check this.

This is the bit that I don't understand. If you only tell gpiolib about
the GPIOs that exist, then it won't be initializing the .irq_valid_mask
in a wrong way.

In other words, what I'm trying to say is that in your case, ngpio isn't
equal to the sum of .npins over all groups. If instead you make the chip
register only the lines that actually exist, .irq_valid_mask will only
contain bits that do exist.

The reason I'm bringing this up is because we had the same discussion
back in November last year (yes, that driver still isn't upstream...):

	https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/22/543

In a nutshell: the Tegra driver was assuming that each port had a fixed
number (8) of lines, but when gpiolib changed to query the direction of
GPIOs at driver probe time this broke badly because on of the instances
of the GPIO controller is very strict about what it allows access to.

This seems to be similar to what you're experiencing. In our case we'd
run into a hard hang trying to access a register for a non-existing
GPIO. One of the possibilities discussed in the thread was to introduce
something akin to what's being proposed here.

In the end it turned out to be easiest to just don't tell gpiolib about
any non-existing GPIOs, because then you don't get to deal with any of
these workarounds. The downside is that you need a little more code to
find out exactly what GPIO you're talking about, or to determine how
many you have. In the end I think it's all worth it by making it a lot
easier in general to deal with. I think it's really confusing if you
expose, say, 200 pins, and for 50 of them users will get -EACCES, or
-ENOENT or whatever if they try to use them.

I know, and that's what my patches do.  I tell gpiolib that I need a 
valid mask:

/* If the GPIO map is sparse, then we need to disable specific IRQs */
chip->irq_need_valid_mask = pctrl->soc->sparse;

Then I proceed to provide the specific GPIOs that exist, one block at a 
time:

	ret = gpiochip_add_pin_range(&pctrl->chip,
				     dev_name(pctrl->dev),
				     start, start, count);

That's true.  I set it to the maximum number of GPIOs that exist on the 
chip.  I could set it to the highest number of GPIOs that I register 
(e.g. the highest value of "start + count"), but that's not necessary 
for my patches to work.

That's what I'm doing.

It appear we're re-hashing that same exact argument.

I guess great minds do think alike!

I agree.

In my case, the ACPI table provides an exact list that I use at probe() 
time.

True, but /sys/kernel/debug/gpio is the only mechanism I found where the 
user can get a list of valid GPIOs.  Maybe we need something similar in 
/sys/class/gpio/.

I think I'm missing something, because I implemented what you're asking 
for, but whenever I try to expose a GPIO from sysfs (e.g. echo 37 > 
/sys/class/gpio/export), gpiod_get_index() is not called.  The only 
thing preventing the GPIO from being exported is the ->request callback:

static int msm_gpio_request(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned int offset)
{
	struct msm_pinctrl *pctrl = gpiochip_get_data(chip);
	const struct msm_pingroup *g = &pctrl->soc->groups[offset];

	if (!g->npins)
		return -ENODEV;

What operation is supposed to trigger a call to gpiod_get_index?
