Blackfin GPIO introduction + + There are many GPIO pins on Blackfin. Most of these pins are muxed to + multi-functions. They can be configured as peripheral, or just as GPIO, + configured to input with interrupt enabled, or output. + + For detailed information, please see "arch/blackfin/kernel/bfin_gpio.c", + or the relevant HRM. + + +2. Avoiding resource conflict + + Followed function groups are used to avoiding resource conflict, + - Use the pin as peripheral, + int peripheral_request(unsigned short per, const char *label); + int peripheral_request_list(const unsigned short per[], const char *label); + void peripheral_free(unsigned short per); + void peripheral_free_list(const unsigned short per[]); + - Use the pin as GPIO, + int bfin_gpio_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label); + void bfin_gpio_free(unsigned gpio); + - Use the pin as GPIO interrupt, + int bfin_gpio_irq_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label); + void bfin_gpio_irq_free(unsigned gpio); + + The request functions will record the function state for a certain pin, + the free functions will clear it's function state. + Once a pin is requested, it can't be requested again before it is freed by + previous caller, otherwise kernel will dump stacks, and the request + function fail. + These functions are wrapped by other functions, most of the users need not + care. + + +3. But there are some exceptions + - Kernel permit the identical GPIO be requested both as GPIO and GPIO + interrut. + Some drivers, like gpio-keys, need this behavior. Kernel only print out + warning messages like, + bfin-gpio: GPIO 24 is already reserved by gpio-keys: BTN0, and you are +configuring it as IRQ! + + Note: Consider the case that, if there are two drivers need the + identical GPIO, one of them use it as GPIO, the other use it as + GPIO interrupt. This will really cause resource conflict. So if + there is any abnormal driver behavior, please check the bfin-gpio + warning messages. + + - Kernel permit the identical GPIO be requested from the same driver twice. + + + |
