Thanks, glad you liked it :)

A bitmap allocation function or at least a BITS_TO_BYTES macro would be
useful. But this seems to be the way that bitmaps are to be dynamically
allocated in the kernel.

Thanks for Stephen, I replaced this entire function with its generic
counterpart.

Both the pinctrl and gpio functions touch the same registers. Hence the
locking.

Note that 'ctl_reg' is also used in the pinmux/pinconf functions above.

For v2 I've adapted this model intead.

Included in v2.

I haven't looked into the details of this before, but this is what I found.

chained_irq_enter acks the parent irq, so any additional edges triggered
in the block should result in a new interrupt. If such interrupt comes
during our execution of the loop IRQS_PENDING would be set for the parent
irq and upon returning from the handler it will be called immediately
again.

If this was not the case, there would always be a race condition between the
last read of the status register and the next time the code "serves"
interrupts; so it does make sense that it would work this way.


Each gpio has its own irq status register, so the idiomatic implementation
would be way more complicated. Looking at other drivers in the tree I found
both solutions, so I hope you're okay with me leaving this as is.


For v2, I did add an comment to highlight what the bitmap is used for here,
i.e. limiting the number of status registers to check.

Added a call to handle_bad_irq() in v2.

Thanks for your review, v2 is on it's way.
