Re: [PATCH 3/5] gpio: msc313: MStar MSC313 GPIO driver

Hi Daniel,

thanks for your patch!

Some comments below, we need some work but keep at it.

Selecting GPIO_GENERIC, that is good.
But you're not using it, because you can't.
This chip does not have the bits lined up nicely
in one register, instead there seems to be something
like one register per line, right?
So skip GPIO_GENERIC.

Some comment here telling us why these need saving and
not others.

This looks a bit strange. The GPIO driver should not really
have to know about any other use cases for pins than
GPIO. But I guess it is intuitive for the driver.

Same with all these. I suppose it is the offsets of stuff
that would be there unless we were using it for GPIO.

Please do not use custom IRQ handling like this.
As there seems to be one IRQ per line, look into using

        select GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP
        select IRQ_DOMAIN_HIERARCHY

See for example in gpio-ixp4xx.c how we deal with
hiearchical GPIO IRQs.

Use hierarchical generic GPIO IRQs for these.

Assign ->fwnode, ->parent_domain, ->child_to_parent_hwirq,
and probably also ->handler on the struct gpio_irq_chip *.

Skip assigning gpiochip->to_irq, the generic code will
handle that.

Again see gpio-ixp4xx.c for an example.
