[PATCH] USB: ftdi_sio: add GPIO support

From: Sascha Silbe
Date: Mon Jun 09 2014 - 09:30:04 EST


Most FTDI USB serial / parallel adapter chips support an asynchronous
"bitbang" mode. Make this functionality available as a GPIO controller
so they can be used with the Linux GPIO API instead of requiring
special user space software that only works with this particular
family of chips.

The chips can operate either in regular or in bitbang mode. Care was
taken to prevent using GPIOs if the serial device is in use and vice
versa.

At least the FT245RL will toggle several of its pins multiple times
during initialisation (even if connected to a dumb USB power supply,
so not a driver issue). Using synchronous bitbang mode might help
coping with this if the hardware connected to the FTDI chip supports
it. However, as synchronous mode isn't supported by the hardware used
for testing (SainSmart 8-channel USB relay card) and is not as
straightforward to use (reading the inputs requires the outputs to be
written first) it's left as a potential future enhancement.

Serial mode and GPIO mode were tested on FT232RL using a simple
loopback setup (TXD connected to RXD). In addition, GPIO output mode
was tested on FT245RL (8 channels).

Is making the GPIO support conditional on CONFIG_GPIOLIB enough or
should I introduce a new configuration option USB_SERIAL_FTDI_SIO_GPIO
that depends on CONFIG_GPIOLIB?
