[PATCH] leds: trigger: gpio: use GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_NONEXCLUSIVE
From: Piotr Kubik
Date: Wed Apr 08 2026 - 08:59:39 EST
When a GPIO is shared between the LED trigger driver and another driver,
the LED trigger driver needs to request the GPIO with
GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_NONEXCLUSIVE to allow both drivers to monitor the same
GPIO pin.
Without this flag, if another driver has already claimed the GPIO,
theLED trigger driver's gpiod_get_optional() call fails silently,
and the LED trigger doesn't work.
This is needed for scenarios like:
- SFP module presence/status LED triggered by SFP Mod_ABS/Rx_LOS
Both GPIOs are also monitored by the SFP driver for module state
management, so they need to be shared.
