[PATCH] serial: sc16is7xx: implement gpio get_direction() callback

From: Hugo Villeneuve

Date: Thu Jul 16 2026 - 17:08:42 EST


From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

It's strongly recommended for GPIO drivers to always implement the
.get_direction() callback - even when the direction is tracked in
software. The GPIO core emits a warning when the callback is missing
and a user reads the direction of a line, e.g. via
/sys/kernel/debug/gpio.

Inspired by a similar patch for max310x: commit a483b1a91b33
("serial: max310x: implement gpio_chip::get_direction()").
