[PATCH v4 00/10] gpio: mxc: bug fixes and probe cleanup
From: Peng Fan (OSS)
Date: Wed Oct 07 2026 - 08:24:12 EST
This series cleans up the gpio-mxc driver in several incremental steps:
bug fixes, converting runtime state to static per-compatible data,
modernizing resource management with devres, and cleaning up
register access patterns.
Patches 1-2 are bug fixes:
- Fix a race where the chained IRQ handler is installed before probe
completes, allowing interrupts to fire on a half-initialized port.
- Fix wakeup_pads bit operations that used wrong set_bit/clear_bit
logic, folding in the assign_bit() simplification from V1.
Patches 3-4 replace runtime of_device_is_compatible() calls with static
per-compatible hwdata flags, eliminating repeated string comparisons in
the suspend/resume path.
Patches 5-6 convert probe error handling to devres and dev_err_probe().
Patches 7-9 are cosmetic cleanups: local dev variable, MXC_ICR macros
with field_prep/field_get, and BIT() macro for single-bit shifts.

Changes in v4:
- Just a resend of V3 with below changes.
Add R-b from Linus for patch 10.
Update commit for patch 2 and drop empty line and separate
for_each_set_bit changes into a new patch Per Andy.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261006-gpio-mxc-cleanup-v3-0-129f93302a90@xxxxxxx/
Changes in v3:
- Patch ("gpio: mxc: convert probe error handling to devres"):
Replaced pm_runtime_get_noresume() with
devm_pm_runtime_get_noresume() to fix a PM usage counter leak on
probe error paths. The non-devm pm_runtime_get_noresume() was not
balanced by any devres action, so any probe failure after the PM
block (e.g. -EPROBE_DEFER from devm_gpiochip_add_data()) would
leave usage_count permanently elevated, preventing runtime suspend
on re-probe.
Dropped the explicit pm_runtime_put_noidle() on
devm_pm_runtime_set_active_enabled() failure - the devres
registered by devm_pm_runtime_get_noresume() handles the balance
automatically during probe unwind.
- Patch ("gpio: mxc: use local dev variable"):
Keep of_device_is_compatible(), only focus on switching &pdev->dev to
dev.

Changes in V2:
- Reworked compatible-string caching (V1 patch 3) from probe-time bools
in mxc_gpio_port to static hwdata flags with per-compatible data
instances. Split into two patches: one introducing the flags scheme
with MXC_GPIO_HW_DATA_COMMON macro for power_off (patch 3), one
extending it to pad_wakeup and imx8qm (patch 4). (Frank, bot review)
- Replaced devm_pm_runtime_get_noresume() + pm_runtime_set_active() +
devm_pm_runtime_enable() with devm_pm_runtime_set_active_enabled().
Keep plain pm_runtime_get_noresume() (non-devm) for the probe-scoped
reference to avoid usage_count underflow on unbind. (Frank, bot review)
- Replaced irq_domain_create_legacy() + devm_add_action_or_reset() with
devm_irq_domain_instantiate(). Squashed with the PM runtime devres
conversion (V1 patches 4+5) into a single patch (patch 5), since the
goto labels cannot be removed until both resources are devres-managed.
- Split dev_err_probe() conversion into its own patch (patch 6) for
bisectability — patch 5 uses bare returns with correct error values.
- Folded gpio_set_wake_irq() assign_bit simplification (V1 patch 9) into
the wakeup_pads fix (patch 2) where it belongs.
- Used 0x3U (unsigned) in MXC_ICR_MASK() to avoid implementation-defined
behavior when shifting by 30 bits.
- Replaced linux/of.h with linux/property.h to match the
of_device_is_compatible() → device_is_compatible() API change (patch 7).
- Added return-value checks for devm_pm_runtime_set_active_enabled().
- Fixed stale error code returns after devm_irq_alloc_descs() and
devm_irq_domain_instantiate() in the devres conversion patch.
