[PATCH v7 00/12] gpio: mxc: probe cleanup

From: Peng Fan (OSS)

Date: Tue Oct 27 2026 - 08:20:51 EST


This is the cleanup portion of the gpio-mxc series, following the bug
fixes merged in [1].

For Linus's comment in [2], I will use a follow up patch set to
update pinctrl-imx and gpio-mxc.

Patches 1-2 are wakeup_pads cleanups: consolidate enable/disable_irq_wake
into irq_set_irq_wake(), and use for_each_set_bit() for the pad wakeup
iteration.

Patch 3 fixes bare 'unsigned' to 'unsigned int' per coding style.

Patches 4-5 replace runtime of_device_is_compatible() calls with static
per-compatible hwdata flags, eliminating repeated string comparisons in
the suspend/resume path.

Patch 6 introduces a local dev variable for readability.

Patch 7 uses a driver-local cleanup guard to disable runtime PM and drop
the probe-scoped pm_runtime_get_noresume() reference on error paths.

Patch 8 converts the remaining probe resources to devres.

Patch 9 switches selected probe error paths to dev_err_probe().

Patches 10-11 are cosmetic: MXC_ICR macros with icr_update_edge()/
icr_get_edge() helpers using field_prep/field_get, and BIT() macro for
single-bit shifts.

Patch 12 adds a maintainer entry for the driver.

Changes in v7:
- Drop the three bug-fix patches merged separately; this series contains
cleanup patches only.
- New patch 3: fix bare 'unsigned' to 'unsigned int' (Andy Shevchenko).
- Patch 7: combine pm_runtime_disable() and pm_runtime_put_noidle() into
a driver-local cleanup guard, so runtime PM is disabled before the
probe reference is dropped. Keep the cleanup helper local to gpio-mxc
instead of adding it to pm_runtime.h.
- Patch 8: convert the remaining probe resources to devres and drop the
devm_pm_runtime_set_active_enabled() conversion; runtime PM stays
non-managed.
- Patch 9: also use dev_err_probe() for the platform_irq_count() and
devm_clk_get_optional_enabled() failures, while leaving helpers that
already report errors alone.
- Patch 12: add a MAINTAINERS entry for gpio-mxc.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261011-gpio-mxc-cleanup-v6-0-cb47ce2ad758@xxxxxxx/

Changes in v6:
- Patch 9: use retain_and_null_ptr() instead of no_free_ptr() to disarm
the pm_runtime cleanup guard, as the return value is unused (Frank Li).
- Minor commit message rewording for patches 10-12.
- Collect R-b from Frank Li.
- Link to v5: https://patch.msgid.link/20261010-gpio-mxc-cleanup-v5-0-1e59e6ddfa00@xxxxxxx

Changes in v5:
- New patch 2: fix both_edges race using atomic bitops (set_bit/
clear_bit/test_bit), prompted by review feedback on the BIT() patch.
- Patch 3 (wakeup_pads fix): split the irq_set_irq_wake()
consolidation and for_each_set_bit() conversion into separate cleanup
patches (4-5) for bisectability.
- Patch 7 (pad wakeup hwdata): renamed MXC_GPIO_IS_IMX8QM to
MXC_GPIO_FALL_EDGE_WAKEUP_BROKEN to describe the property, not the
SoC.
- Patch 9 (new): use __free cleanup guard for pm_runtime_get_noresume()
balance instead of devm_pm_runtime_get_noresume(), which would cause a
usage counter underflow on unbind due to the double put (devres +
success-path pm_runtime_put_autosuspend).
- Patch 10 (devres): dropped devm_pm_runtime_get_noresume(); the __free
guard from patch 9 handles the usage counter balance. Fixed stale
&pdev->dev references that should use the local dev variable.
- Patch 11 (dev_err_probe): fixed &pdev->dev references to use dev.
- Reordered series: moved "use local dev variable" before the devres
and dev_err_probe patches so the local variable is available.
- Link to v4: https://patch.msgid.link/20261007-gpio-mxc-cleanup-v4-0-c9f5a8b50df9@xxxxxxx

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.
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20261005-gpio-mxc-cleanup-v2-0-bdc3afbb35e2@xxxxxxx

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.
