[PATCH v8 6/9] gpio: regmap: Add value_xlate callback

From: Yu-Chun Lin

Date: Sun Jul 26 2026 - 08:53:24 EST


Introduce a new optional 'value_xlate' callback. This routine allows drivers
to translate or modify the register value and mask immediately before a write
operation. It is particularly useful for hardware that requires additional
control bits, such as a write-enable bit, to be appended to the data
dynamically.

Changes in v8:
- Add Reviewed-by tags from Michael and Linus.
- Improve kernel-doc comments for 'enum gpio_regmap_operation' and value_xlate.
