[RFC PATCH 0/3] gpio: ep93xx: convert to multi irqchips

From: Nikita Shubin
Date: Thu Dec 24 2020 - 06:23:10 EST


I was lucky enough to became an owner of some splendid piece's of
antiques called ts7250 based on the top of Cirrus Logic EP9302.

I don't know what fate expects this hardware (it's not EOL it's just Not
recommended for new designs) but i wanted to share fixes in ep93xx gpio area.

It seems ep93xx is deadly broken at current state usage of AB gpiochips
interrupts leads to deadlocks coused by irq_unmask/irq_mask recursions.

Port F is not working at all:

-bash-5.0# gpio-event-mon -n gpiochip5 -o 0 -r -f
