Not sure if we want that. I had to control GPIO output/input through pinctrl since Vybrid does not allow to control that from the GPIO block. However, according to your GPIO patchset, the i.MX 7ULP has a new register GPIO_PDDR to control output from the GPIO block. Is controlling the output driver from IOMUXC still required? If not, I really would just not use all that "find pinctrl config" hackery... e.g. add a new flag, USE_IOMUXC_FOR_GPIO_OUTPUT, and set that only for Vybrid. This would also align much better with the other i.MX devices, where pinmuxing and GPIO is completely orthogonal. -- Stefan > writel(reg, ipctl->base + pin_reg->mux_reg); > > return 0; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-gpio" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Actually I'm wondering why we need implement imx_pmx_gpio_request_enable function? Per my understanding, IMX binding already set GPIO mux by Parsing MUX mode from device tree, so why need gpio_request_enable which looks like is duplicated. Can you help explain it?

Sure I need to enable the output driver to drive the pin, but can I disable output just using GPIO_PDDR? Maybe we have a miss understanding here: Lets assume we want to switch a GPIO between output and input: echo "output" > /sys/class/gpio/gpioN/direction .. echo "input" > /sys/class/gpio/gpioN/direction Do I need to disable the output driver in the IOMUXC or can we just disable GPIO_PDDR and use the pin as input? If we can disable the output driver just using GPIO_PDDR, we can avoid the gpio_set_direction cross call. >> If not, I really would just not use all >> that "find pinctrl config" hackery... e.g. add a new flag, >> USE_IOMUXC_FOR_GPIO_OUTPUT, and set that only for Vybrid. >> >> This would also align much better with the other i.MX devices, where >> pinmuxing and GPIO is completely orthogonal. >> > > Actually this patch came only because to make the exist code > not break MX7ULP. > > Actually I'm wondering why we need implement > imx_pmx_gpio_request_enable function? > > Per my understanding, IMX binding already set GPIO mux by > Parsing MUX mode from device tree, so why need gpio_request_enable > which looks like is duplicated. > > Can you help explain it? I suggest to read this clarification email wrt to pinctrl/gpio from Linus Walleij: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/10/10/87 To summarize: We have different semantics in Vybrid: The GPIO subsystem automatically mux the GPIO for you. So in Vybrid, you do not have to mux a GPIO (but a valid entry in your device tree is needed, but does not assigned to any node). Is what the driver is doing for Vybrid wrong? It is different from i.MX, but afaik, it is not really wrong... Its a valid implementation according to the currently defined semantics... Due to the *need* to touch pinctrl for direction, I had to implement cross calls anyway, so I thought I might as well go full mile and also mux the GPIO on request... So the question is, what semantic do we want for i.MX 7ULP? Since it is a i.MX device, we probably want the same semantics as i.MX 6/7 is already using for the sake of consistency. So in this case the gpio_request_enable/disable callbacks are not needed... This is how I hope we can do the implementation for i.MX 7ULP: - Do not use gpio_request_enable/disable - Do not use gpio_set_direction either - Users using a GPIO should enable output driver in IOMUXC (just use a pin configuration where output driver is enabled) - The GPIO driver only enables/disables the output driver using its GPIO_PDDR register depending on GPIO direction -- Stefan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-gpio" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Just a bit confuse that gpio_request_enable seems not quite necessary As we actually already and must define GPIO mux in device tree according To standard IMX binding format. e.g. VF610_PAD_PTB20__GPIO_42 in above sd pad group. That means pinctrl already does the GPIO mux when enable sd function. > So the question is, what semantic do we want for i.MX 7ULP?

So, finnaly, I think the solution may be: 1. If Vybrid does not use gpio_request_enable/disable, we can simply remove it. Both driver keeps using pinctrl gpio_set_direction. Or. 2. Make gpio_request_enable/disable and gpio_set_direction As pinctrl-imx core driver callbacks. And only assign gpio_set_direction For IMX7ULP platform driver while assign both for Vybrid. Which one would you prefer?

For all GPIO I checked in upstream device trees we assign a pinctrl to the same node, so in all cases gpio_request_enable/disable is really unnecessary. And since the current implementation has adversarial effects for I2C recovery (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9351401/), we use the orthogonal semantic in the closely related i.MX SoCs and it even simplifies the driver, I am ok to change the semantic. Can you prepare such a patchset so that we can further test that on Vybrid? -- Stefan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-gpio" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Do not assume MUX 0 is GPIO function in core driver as a different SoC may have different value. e.g. MX7ULP Mux 1 is GPIO.
