GPIO Mappings
=============

This document explains how GPIOs can be assigned to given devices and functions.

All platforms can enable the GPIO library, but if the platform strictly
requires GPIO functionality to be present, it needs to select GPIOLIB from its
Kconfig. Then, how GPIOs are mapped depends on what the platform uses to
describe its hardware layout. Currently, mappings can be defined through device
tree, ACPI, and platform data.

Device Tree
-----------
GPIOs can easily be mapped to devices and functions in the device tree. The
exact way to do it depends on the GPIO controller providing the GPIOs, see the
device tree bindings for your controller.

GPIOs mappings are defined in the consumer device's node, in a property named
<function>-gpios, where <function> is the function the driver will request
through gpiod_get(). For example::

	foo_device {
		compatible = "acme,foo";
		...
		led-gpios = <&gpio 15 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, /* red */
			    <&gpio 16 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, /* green */
			    <&gpio 17 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* blue */

		power-gpios = <&gpio 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
	};

Properties named <function>-gpio are also considered valid and old bindings use
it but are only supported for compatibility reasons and should not be used for
newer bindings since it has been deprecated.

This property will make GPIOs 15, 16 and 17 available to the driver under the
"led" function, and GPIO 1 as the "power" GPIO::

	struct gpio_desc *red, *green, *blue, *power;

	red = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 0, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
	green = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 1, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
	blue = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 2, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);

	power = gpiod_get(dev, "power", GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);

The led GPIOs will be active high, while the power GPIO will be active low (i.e.
gpiod_is_active_low(power) will be true).

The second parameter of the gpiod_get() functions, the con_id string, has to be
the <function>-prefix of the GPIO suffixes ("gpios" or "gpio", automatically
looked up by the gpiod functions internally) used in the device tree. With above
"led-gpios" example, use the prefix without the "-" as con_id parameter: "led".

Internally, the GPIO subsystem prefixes the GPIO suffix ("gpios" or "gpio")
with the string passed in con_id to get the resulting string
(``snprintf(... "%s-%s", con_id, gpio_suffixes[]``).

ACPI
----
ACPI also supports function names for GPIOs in a similar fashion to DT.
The above DT example can be converted to an equivalent ACPI description
with the help of _DSD (Device Specific Data), introduced in ACPI 5.1::

	Device (FOO) {
		Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () {
			GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
				"\\_SB.GPI0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 15 } // red
			GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
				"\\_SB.GPI0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 16 } // green
			GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
				"\\_SB.GPI0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 17 } // blue
			GpioIo (Exclusive, PullNone, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
				"\\_SB.GPI0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 1 } // power
		})

		Name (_DSD, Package () {
			ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
			Package () {
				Package () {
					"led-gpios",
					Package () {
						^FOO, 0, 0, 1,
						^FOO, 1, 0, 1,
						^FOO, 2, 0, 1,
					}
				},
				Package () { "power-gpios", Package () { ^FOO, 3, 0, 0 } },
			}
		})
	}

Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/gpio-properties.rst.

Software Nodes
--------------

Software nodes allow board-specific code to construct an in-memory,
device-tree-like structure using struct software_node and struct
property_entry. This structure can then be associated with a platform device,
allowing drivers to use the standard device properties API to query
configuration, just as they would on an ACPI or device tree system.

Software-node-backed GPIOs are described using the ``PROPERTY_ENTRY_GPIO()``
macro, which ties a software node representing the GPIO controller with
consumer device. It allows consumers to use regular gpiolib APIs, such as
gpiod_get(), gpiod_get_optional().

The software node representing a GPIO controller need not be attached to the
GPIO controller device. The only requirement is that the node must be
registered and its name must match the GPIO controller's label.

For example, here is how to describe a single GPIO-connected LED. This is an
alternative to using platform_data on legacy systems.

.. code-block:: c

	#include <linux/property.h>
	#include <linux/gpio/machine.h>
	#include <linux/gpio/property.h>

	/*
	 * 1. Define a node for the GPIO controller. Its .name must match the
	 *    controller's label.
	 */
	static const struct software_node gpio_controller_node = {
		.name = "gpio-foo",
	};

	/* 2. Define the properties for the LED device. */
	static const struct property_entry led_device_props[] = {
		PROPERTY_ENTRY_STRING("label", "myboard:green:status"),
		PROPERTY_ENTRY_STRING("linux,default-trigger", "heartbeat"),
		PROPERTY_ENTRY_GPIO("gpios", &gpio_controller_node, 42, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH),
		{ }
	};

	/* 3. Define the software node for the LED device. */
	static const struct software_node led_device_swnode = {
		.name = "status-led",
		.properties = led_device_props,
	};

	/*
	 * 4. Register the software nodes and the platform device.
	 */
	const struct software_node *swnodes[] = {
		&gpio_controller_node,
		&led_device_swnode,
		NULL
	};
	software_node_register_node_group(swnodes);

	// Then register a platform_device for "leds-gpio" and associate
	// it with &led_device_swnode via .fwnode.

Documentation/driver-api/gpio/legacy-boards.rst.

Platform Data
-------------
Finally, GPIOs can be bound to devices and functions using platform data. Board
files that desire to do so need to include the following header::

	#include <linux/gpio/machine.h>

GPIOs are mapped by the means of tables of lookups, containing instances of the
gpiod_lookup structure. Two macros are defined to help declaring such mappings::

	GPIO_LOOKUP(key, chip_hwnum, con_id, flags)
	GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX(key, chip_hwnum, con_id, idx, flags)

where

  - key is either the label of the gpiod_chip instance providing the GPIO, or
    the GPIO line name
  - chip_hwnum is the hardware number of the GPIO within the chip, or U16_MAX
    to indicate that key is a GPIO line name
  - con_id is the name of the GPIO function from the device point of view. It
	can be NULL, in which case it will match any function.
  - idx is the index of the GPIO within the function.
  - flags is defined to specify the following properties:
	* GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH	- GPIO line is active high
	* GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW	- GPIO line is active low
	* GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN	- GPIO line is set up as open drain
	* GPIO_OPEN_SOURCE	- GPIO line is set up as open source
	* GPIO_PERSISTENT	- GPIO line is persistent during
				  suspend/resume and maintains its value
	* GPIO_TRANSITORY	- GPIO line is transitory and may loose its
				  electrical state during suspend/resume

In the future, these flags might be extended to support more properties.

Note that:
  1. GPIO line names are not guaranteed to be globally unique, so the first
     match found will be used.
  2. GPIO_LOOKUP() is just a shortcut to GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX() where idx = 0.

A lookup table can then be defined as follows, with an empty entry defining its
end. The 'dev_id' field of the table is the identifier of the device that will
make use of these GPIOs. It can be NULL, in which case it will be matched for
calls to gpiod_get() with a NULL device.

.. code-block:: c

        struct gpiod_lookup_table gpios_table = {
                .dev_id = "foo.0",
                .table = {
                        GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 15, "led", 0, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH),
                        GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 16, "led", 1, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH),
                        GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 17, "led", 2, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH),
                        GPIO_LOOKUP("gpio.0", 1, "power", GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW),
                        { },
                },
        };

And the table can be added by the board code as follows::

	gpiod_add_lookup_table(&gpios_table);

The driver controlling "foo.0" will then be able to obtain its GPIOs as follows::

	struct gpio_desc *red, *green, *blue, *power;

	red = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 0, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
	green = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 1, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
	blue = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 2, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);

	power = gpiod_get(dev, "power", GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);

Since the "led" GPIOs are mapped as active-high, this example will switch their
signals to 1, i.e. enabling the LEDs. And for the "power" GPIO, which is mapped
as active-low, its actual signal will be 0 after this code. Contrary to the
legacy integer GPIO interface, the active-low property is handled during
mapping and is thus transparent to GPIO consumers.

A set of functions such as gpiod_set_value() is available to work with
the new descriptor-oriented interface.

Boards using platform data can also hog GPIO lines by defining GPIO hog tables.

.. code-block:: c

        struct gpiod_hog gpio_hog_table[] = {
                GPIO_HOG("gpio.0", 10, "foo", GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH),
                { }
        };

And the table can be added to the board code as follows::

        gpiod_add_hogs(gpio_hog_table);

The line will be hogged as soon as the gpiochip is created or - in case the
chip was created earlier - when the hog table is registered.

Arrays of pins
--------------
In addition to requesting pins belonging to a function one by one, a device may
also request an array of pins assigned to the function.  The way those pins are
mapped to the device determines if the array qualifies for fast bitmap
processing.  If yes, a bitmap is passed over get/set array functions directly
between a caller and a respective .get/set_multiple() callback of a GPIO chip.

In order to qualify for fast bitmap processing, the array must meet the
following requirements:

- pin hardware number of array member 0 must also be 0,
- pin hardware numbers of consecutive array members which belong to the same
  chip as member 0 does must also match their array indexes.

Otherwise fast bitmap processing path is not used in order to avoid consecutive
pins which belong to the same chip but are not in hardware order being processed
separately.

If the array applies for fast bitmap processing path, pins which belong to
different chips than member 0 does, as well as those with indexes different from
their hardware pin numbers, are excluded from the fast path, both input and
output.  Moreover, open drain and open source pins are excluded from fast bitmap
output processing.
