Commit Message

Kent Gibson Oct. 28, 2019, 7:39 a.m. UTC
Add the GPIOHANDLE_SET_CONFIG_IOCTL to the gpio chardev.
The ioctl allows some of the configuration of a requested handle to be
changed without having to release the line.
The primary use case is the changing of direction for bi-directional 
lines.

Based on initial work by Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@baylibre.com>

Signed-off-by: Kent Gibson <warthog618@gmail.com>
---

The patch is against Bart's gpio/for-next branch[1] with v4 of my bias 
patch series "gpio: expose line bias flags to userspace" applied.
This is necessary to support setting of the bias flags introduced 
there.

The patch has been successfully tested against gpio-mockup using the 
feature/pud_set_config branch of my Go gpiod library[2], as libgpiod has 
not yet been updated with the uAPI change.

This is great but I'd prefer that it be put into a separate patch with
its own description that would come before the other changes.

Could you add some new lines between the if elses? I think it'll be
more readable.
