[PATCH v3] spi: bcm2835: reduce the abuse of the GPIO API

From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Mon Sep 11 2023 - 17:28:19 EST


From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently the bcm2835 SPI driver uses functions that are available
exclusively to GPIO providers as a way to handle a platform quirk. Let's
use a slightly better alternative that avoids poking around in GPIOLIB's
internals and use GPIO lookup tables.

This is only build-tested. It should work, but it would be great if
someone from broadcom could test this.

Andy pointed out elsewhere that we can use GPIO_LOOKUP() even in
dynamically allocated tables, hence v3.

v1 -> v2:
- don't use devres for managing the GPIO but put it manually in .cleanup()
- add a mailing list link explaining the background of the bug
- fix kerneldoc

v2 -> v3:
- use GPIO_LOOKUP() macro for creating the lookup entry as it looks
better and results in less LOC
