The documentation was not clear about whether gpio_direction_output should take a logical value or the physical level on the output line, i.e. whether the ACTIVE_LOW status would be taken into account. This converts gpiod_direction_output to use the logical level and adds a new gpiod_direction_output_raw for the raw value.

GPIO Descriptor Consumer Interface
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
This document describes the consumer interface of the GPIO framework. Note that
|
|
it describes the new descriptor-based interface. For a description of the
|
|
deprecated integer-based GPIO interface please refer to gpio-legacy.txt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Guidelines for GPIOs consumers
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Drivers that can't work without standard GPIO calls should have Kconfig entries
|
|
that depend on GPIOLIB. The functions that allow a driver to obtain and use
|
|
GPIOs are available by including the following file:
|
|
|
|
#include <linux/gpio/consumer.h>
|
|
|
|
All the functions that work with the descriptor-based GPIO interface are
|
|
prefixed with gpiod_. The gpio_ prefix is used for the legacy interface. No
|
|
other function in the kernel should use these prefixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Obtaining and Disposing GPIOs
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
With the descriptor-based interface, GPIOs are identified with an opaque,
|
|
non-forgeable handler that must be obtained through a call to one of the
|
|
gpiod_get() functions. Like many other kernel subsystems, gpiod_get() takes the
|
|
device that will use the GPIO and the function the requested GPIO is supposed to
|
|
fulfill:
|
|
|
|
struct gpio_desc *gpiod_get(struct device *dev, const char *con_id)
|
|
|
|
If a function is implemented by using several GPIOs together (e.g. a simple LED
|
|
device that displays digits), an additional index argument can be specified:
|
|
|
|
struct gpio_desc *gpiod_get_index(struct device *dev,
|
|
const char *con_id, unsigned int idx)
|
|
|
|
Both functions return either a valid GPIO descriptor, or an error code checkable
|
|
with IS_ERR() (they will never return a NULL pointer). -ENOENT will be returned
|
|
if and only if no GPIO has been assigned to the device/function/index triplet,
|
|
other error codes are used for cases where a GPIO has been assigned but an error
|
|
occured while trying to acquire it. This is useful to discriminate between mere
|
|
errors and an absence of GPIO for optional GPIO parameters.
|
|
|
|
Device-managed variants of these functions are also defined:
|
|
|
|
struct gpio_desc *devm_gpiod_get(struct device *dev, const char *con_id)
|
|
|
|
struct gpio_desc *devm_gpiod_get_index(struct device *dev,
|
|
const char *con_id,
|
|
unsigned int idx)
|
|
|
|
A GPIO descriptor can be disposed of using the gpiod_put() function:
|
|
|
|
void gpiod_put(struct gpio_desc *desc)
|
|
|
|
It is strictly forbidden to use a descriptor after calling this function. The
|
|
device-managed variant is, unsurprisingly:
|
|
|
|
void devm_gpiod_put(struct device *dev, struct gpio_desc *desc)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using GPIOs
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Setting Direction
|
|
-----------------
|
|
The first thing a driver must do with a GPIO is setting its direction. This is
|
|
done by invoking one of the gpiod_direction_*() functions:
|
|
|
|
int gpiod_direction_input(struct gpio_desc *desc)
|
|
int gpiod_direction_output(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value)
|
|
|
|
The return value is zero for success, else a negative errno. It should be
|
|
checked, since the get/set calls don't return errors and since misconfiguration
|
|
is possible. You should normally issue these calls from a task context. However,
|
|
for spinlock-safe GPIOs it is OK to use them before tasking is enabled, as part
|
|
of early board setup.
|
|
|
|
For output GPIOs, the value provided becomes the initial output value. This
|
|
helps avoid signal glitching during system startup.
|
|
|
|
A driver can also query the current direction of a GPIO:
|
|
|
|
int gpiod_get_direction(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
|
|
|
|
This function will return either GPIOF_DIR_IN or GPIOF_DIR_OUT.
|
|
|
|
Be aware that there is no default direction for GPIOs. Therefore, **using a GPIO
|
|
without setting its direction first is illegal and will result in undefined
|
|
behavior!**
|
|
|
|
|
|
Spinlock-Safe GPIO Access
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
Most GPIO controllers can be accessed with memory read/write instructions. Those
|
|
don't need to sleep, and can safely be done from inside hard (non-threaded) IRQ
|
|
handlers and similar contexts.
|
|
|
|
Use the following calls to access GPIOs from an atomic context:
|
|
|
|
int gpiod_get_value(const struct gpio_desc *desc);
|
|
void gpiod_set_value(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value);
|
|
|
|
The values are boolean, zero for low, nonzero for high. When reading the value
|
|
of an output pin, the value returned should be what's seen on the pin. That
|
|
won't always match the specified output value, because of issues including
|
|
open-drain signaling and output latencies.
|
|
|
|
The get/set calls do not return errors because "invalid GPIO" should have been
|
|
reported earlier from gpiod_direction_*(). However, note that not all platforms
|
|
can read the value of output pins; those that can't should always return zero.
|
|
Also, using these calls for GPIOs that can't safely be accessed without sleeping
|
|
(see below) is an error.
|
|
|
|
|
|
GPIO Access That May Sleep
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
Some GPIO controllers must be accessed using message based buses like I2C or
|
|
SPI. Commands to read or write those GPIO values require waiting to get to the
|
|
head of a queue to transmit a command and get its response. This requires
|
|
sleeping, which can't be done from inside IRQ handlers.
|
|
|
|
Platforms that support this type of GPIO distinguish them from other GPIOs by
|
|
returning nonzero from this call:
|
|
|
|
int gpiod_cansleep(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
|
|
|
|
To access such GPIOs, a different set of accessors is defined:
|
|
|
|
int gpiod_get_value_cansleep(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
|
|
void gpiod_set_value_cansleep(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value)
|
|
|
|
Accessing such GPIOs requires a context which may sleep, for example a threaded
|
|
IRQ handler, and those accessors must be used instead of spinlock-safe
|
|
accessors without the cansleep() name suffix.
|
|
|
|
Other than the fact that these accessors might sleep, and will work on GPIOs
|
|
that can't be accessed from hardIRQ handlers, these calls act the same as the
|
|
spinlock-safe calls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Active-low State and Raw GPIO Values
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
Device drivers like to manage the logical state of a GPIO, i.e. the value their
|
|
device will actually receive, no matter what lies between it and the GPIO line.
|
|
In some cases, it might make sense to control the actual GPIO line value. The
|
|
following set of calls ignore the active-low property of a GPIO and work on the
|
|
raw line value:
|
|
|
|
int gpiod_get_raw_value(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
|
|
void gpiod_set_raw_value(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value)
|
|
int gpiod_get_raw_value_cansleep(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
|
|
void gpiod_set_raw_value_cansleep(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value)
|
|
int gpiod_direction_output_raw(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value)
|
|
|
|
The active-low state of a GPIO can also be queried using the following call:
|
|
|
|
int gpiod_is_active_low(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
|
|
|
|
Note that these functions should only be used with great moderation ; a driver
|
|
should not have to care about the physical line level.
|
|
|
|
GPIOs mapped to IRQs
|
|
--------------------
|
|
GPIO lines can quite often be used as IRQs. You can get the IRQ number
|
|
corresponding to a given GPIO using the following call:
|
|
|
|
int gpiod_to_irq(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
|
|
|
|
It will return an IRQ number, or an negative errno code if the mapping can't be
|
|
done (most likely because that particular GPIO cannot be used as IRQ). It is an
|
|
unchecked error to use a GPIO that wasn't set up as an input using
|
|
gpiod_direction_input(), or to use an IRQ number that didn't originally come
|
|
from gpiod_to_irq(). gpiod_to_irq() is not allowed to sleep.
|
|
|
|
Non-error values returned from gpiod_to_irq() can be passed to request_irq() or
|
|
free_irq(). They will often be stored into IRQ resources for platform devices,
|
|
by the board-specific initialization code. Note that IRQ trigger options are
|
|
part of the IRQ interface, e.g. IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING, as are system wakeup
|
|
capabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interacting With the Legacy GPIO Subsystem
|
|
==========================================
|
|
Many kernel subsystems still handle GPIOs using the legacy integer-based
|
|
interface. Although it is strongly encouraged to upgrade them to the safer
|
|
descriptor-based API, the following two functions allow you to convert a GPIO
|
|
descriptor into the GPIO integer namespace and vice-versa:
|
|
|
|
int desc_to_gpio(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
|
|
struct gpio_desc *gpio_to_desc(unsigned gpio)
|
|
|
|
The GPIO number returned by desc_to_gpio() can be safely used as long as the
|
|
GPIO descriptor has not been freed. All the same, a GPIO number passed to
|
|
gpio_to_desc() must have been properly acquired, and usage of the returned GPIO
|
|
descriptor is only possible after the GPIO number has been released.
|
|
|
|
Freeing a GPIO obtained by one API with the other API is forbidden and an
|
|
unchecked error.
