[PATCH v5 2/9] misc: minimal mux subsystem and gpio-based mux controller

From: Peter Rosin
Date: Tue Nov 29 2016 - 05:27:35 EST


Add a new minimalistic subsystem that handles multiplexer controllers.
When multiplexers are used in various places in the kernel, and the
same multiplexer controller can be used for several independent things,
there should be one place to implement support for said multiplexer
controller.

A single multiplexer controller can also be used to control several
parallel multiplexers, that are in turn used by different subsystems
in the kernel, leading to a need to coordinate multiplexer accesses.
The multiplexer subsystem handles this coordination.

This new mux controller subsystem initially comes with a single backend
driver that controls gpio based multiplexers. Even though not needed by
this initial driver, the mux controller subsystem is prepared to handle
chips with multiple (independent) mux controllers.

+ Multiplexer controller subsystem. Multiplexers are used in a

+ so that the rest of the kernel sees a common interface. When

+
+ The driver builds a single multiplexer controller using a number
+ of gpio pins. For N pins, there will be 2^N possible multiplexer
+ states. The GPIO pins can be connected (by the hardware) to several
+ multiplexers, which in that case will be operated in parallel.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
+ be called mux-gpio.
