Introduce new functions gpiod_set_array & gpiod_set_raw_array to the consumer
interface which allow setting multiple outputs with just one function call.
Also add an optional set_multiple function to the driver interface. Without an
implementation of that function in the chip driver outputs are set
sequentially.
Implementing the set_multiple function in a chip driver allows for:
- Improved performance for certain use cases. The original motivation for this
was the task of configuring an FPGA. In that specific case, where 9 GPIO
lines have to be set many times, configuration time goes down from 48 s to
20 s when using the new function.
- Simultaneous glitch-free setting of multiple pins on any kind of parallel
bus attached to GPIOs provided they all reside on the same chip and bank.
Limitations:
Performance is only improved for normal high-low outputs. Open drain and
open source outputs are always set separately from each other. Those kinds
of outputs could probably be accelerated in a similar way if we could
forgo the error checking when setting GPIO directions.
Change log:
v6: - rebase on current linux-gpio devel branch
v5: - check can_sleep property per chip
- remove superfluous checks
- supplement documentation
v4: - add gpiod_set_array function for setting logical values
- change interface of the set_multiple driver function to use
unsigned long as type for the bit fields
- use generic bitops (which also use unsigned long for bit fields)
- do not use ARCH_NR_GPIOS any more
v3: - add documentation
- change commit message
v2: - use descriptor interface
- allow arbitrary groups of GPIOs spanning multiple chips
