Board files constitute a significant part of the users of the legacy
GPIO framework. In many cases they only export a line and set its
desired value. We could use GPIO hogs for that like we do for DT and
ACPI but there's no support for that in machine code.

This patch proposes to extend the machine.h API with support for
registering hog tables in board files.

I think I see the same problem right here in regards to pinctrls
and gpiohogs that have with DeviceTree:
<https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10313767/>

The problem is that unlike native gpio-controllers, pinctrls need 
to have a "pin/gpio range" defined before any gpio-hogs can be added.

If this is not the case the generic pinctrl_gpio_reguest() [0] will
fail with -EPROBE_DEFER at this point. (see the call chain in the
"pinctrl: msm: fix gpio-hog related boot issueslogin register" mail
starting from gpiod_hog).

And now the crux of the matter is that currently in order for pinctrl
drivers to register the range they have to call gpiochip_add_pin_range() [1]. 
But they only can do it after the gpiochip_add_data_with_key() [2], since
this function initializes the pin_ranges list [3].

So what will happen is that you'll get an
"gpiochip_machine_hog: unable to hog GPIO line $LABEL $GPIONR -517" error
for every single gpio-hog and wonder why :(.

Regards,
Christian

I like the idea and thinking behind this patch, so patch applied.

It's a bit of code to carry, so if it doesn't see any use, I will simply
revert it :)

But I bet you intend to follow up with some machine patches
and then it is immediately worth it.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

Indeed. But the primary use case (correct me if I am wrong Bartosz)
is to clean up old boardfile code.

Old boardfiles belong to equally old boards. They very often do not
have pin control, just GPIO, and they very often have custom code
that just issue gpio_get(), gpio_* etc to set up hogs.

So this will be able to replace all such boilerplate with some
hog table for each boardfile and be done with it.

I.e. they have only drivers/gpio/gpio-foo.c and no pin control
driver in 9 cases out of 10. Cases do exist where they use
pin control with board files. Those are rare. But they will have
problems.

Some machine descriptor tables are used on modern archs
and the most prominent is x86 Intel. However the Intel pin control
driver is one of those that (IIRC) will actually survive this (i.e. it
doesn not have this bug). They are not even using DT, they
use ACPI.

Hm maybe we can simply improbe the error messages so
people realize they have to go and fix their pin control driver(s)?

OK maybe a bit whimsical comment from me here... :/

Yes, I'll be submitting patches removing the legacy gpio calls for
boards in mach-davinci.

Thanks,

Awesome, thanks!

(I guess they should all be converted to device tree though, hope that
will happen...)
