From bb1e88ccb771492ac908ac295ec135efa1d53093 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandre Courbot Date: Sun, 9 Feb 2014 17:43:54 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] gpiolib: add gpiochip_get_desc() driver function Some drivers dealing with a gpio_chip might need to act on its descriptors directly; one example is pinctrl drivers that need to lock a GPIO for being used as IRQ using gpiod_lock_as_irq(). This patch exports a gpiochip_get_desc() function that returns the GPIO descriptor at the requested index. It also sweeps the gpio_to_chip() function out of the consumer interface since any holder of a gpio_chip reference can manipulate its GPIOs way beyond what a consumer should be allowed to do. As a result, gpio_chip is not visible anymore to simple GPIO consumers.
