This patch adds device tree parsing for gpio_ir_recv platform_data and
the mandatory binding documentation. It basically follows what we already
have for e.g. gpio_keys. All required device tree properties are OS
independent but optional properties allow linux specific support for rc
protocols and maps.

There was a similar patch sent by Matus Ujhelyi but that discussion
died after the first reviews.

+Device-Tree bindings for GPIO IR receiver

You likely need to specify in these bindings documentation which bit
corresponds to which RC protocol.

I'm not very familiar with the RC internals, but why it has to be
specified statically in the device tree, when decoding seems to be
mostly software defined ? I might be missing something though..

Sylwester,

I am not familiar with RC internals either. Maybe somebody with more
insight in media/rc can clarify the specific needs for the rc subsystem.
I was just transferring the DT support approach taken by gpio_keys to
gpio_ir_recv as I will be using it on mach-dove/cubox soon.

Couldn't this be configured at run time, with all protocols allowed
as the default ?

Actually, this is how the internal rc code works. If there is nothing
defined for allowed_protocols it assumes that all protocols are supported.
That is why above node properties are optional.

About the binding documentation of allowed_protocols, rc_map, or the
default behavior of current linux code, I don't think they will stay
in-sync for long. I'd rather completely remove those os-specific properties
from DT, but that hits the above statement about the needs of media/rc
subsystem.

Why do you need this ? Isn't of_get_gpio_flags() sufficient ?

Ok. Now that you point at it, I agree that this check and the error
below is not needed. It is in gpio_keys, so that explains why it also
moved in here.

Could assigning to pdev->dev.platform_data be avoided here ?

platform_data is only referenced in probe(), so maybe something like
this would be better:

const struct gpio_ir_recv_platform_data *pdata = NULL;

if (pdev->dev.of_node) {
ret = gpio_ir_recv_parse_dt(&pdev->dev,&pdata);
if (ret< 0)
return ret;

Actually, I am not assigning the parsed gpio_ir_recv_platform_data to
pdev->dev.platform_data but pdata ptr instead. Either I don't see the
difference in pointer assignments between your code and mine or you
were mislead from struct gpio_ir_recv_platform_data above.

Anyway, I agree to test for pdev->dev.of_node and call gpio_ir_recv_parse_dt
if set.

There is not need for #ifdef here, of_match_ptr() macro was introduced
just to allow to omit #ifdefs.

Ok, I will change that.

Thanks for the review!
