Re: [patch 2.6.24-rc6-mm 6/9] gpiolib: pcf857x i2c gpio expander support

From: David Brownell
Date: Sat Jan 05 2008 - 15:17:18 EST


From: David Brownell <dbrownell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This is a new-style I2C driver for most common 8 and 16 bit I2C based
"quasi-bidirectional" GPIO expanders: pcf8574 or pcf8575, and several
compatible models (mostly faster, supporting I2C at up to 1 MHz).

The driver exposes the GPIO signals using the platform-neutral GPIO
programming interface, so they are easily accessed by other kernel code.
The lack of such a flexible kernel API has been a big factor in the
proliferation of board-specific drivers for these chips... stuff that
rarely makes it upstream since it's so ugly. This driver will let such
boards use standard calls.

Since it's a new-style driver, these devices must be configured as
part of board-specific init. That eliminates the need for error-prone
manual configuration of module parameters, and makes compatibility with
legacy drivers (pcf8574.c, pc8575.c) for these chips easier (there's
a clear either/or disjunction).

+ tristate "PCF857x, PCA857x, and PCA967x I2C GPIO expanders"
+ depends on I2C
+ help
+ Say yes here to provide access to most "quasi-bidirectional" I2C
+ GPIO expanders used for additional digital outputs or inputs.
+ Most of these parts are from NXP, though TI is a second source for
+ some of them. Compatible models include:
+
+ 8 bits: pcf8574, pcf8574a, pca8574, pca8574a,
+ pca9670, pca9672, pca9674, pca9674a
+
+ 16 bits: pcf8575, pcf8575c, pca8575,
+ pca9671, pca9673, pca9675
+
+ Your board setup code will need to declare the expanders in
+ use, and assign numbers to the GPIOs they expose. Those GPIOs
+ can then be used from drivers and other kernel code, just like
+ other GPIOs, but only accessible from task contexts.
+
+ This driver provides an in-kernel interface to those GPIOs using
+ platform-neutral GPIO calls.
