[PATCH v2 1/7] of: property: fw_devlink: Follow GPIO nexus maps

From: Ernest Van Hoecke

Date: Thu Sep 10 2026 - 10:24:51 EST


From: Ernest Van Hoecke <ernest.vanhoecke@xxxxxxxxxxx>

GPIO consumers use of_parse_phandle_with_args_map() to resolve
specifiers through gpio-map properties. fw_devlink instead parses GPIO
properties as direct phandle references, so it records the nexus node as
the supplier rather than the mapped GPIO provider.

A nexus is a translation node, not the GPIO provider, and need not be
populated as a device. The resulting fwnode link can therefore remain
unresolved and indefinitely defer the consumer while
device_links_check_suppliers() waits for the nexus.

Use the map-aware parser for all supported GPIO property spellings. This
makes fw_devlink resolve the same provider as the GPIO consumer API.
Direct GPIO references continue to work because the map-aware parser
returns the original provider when no gpio-map property is present.

Fixes: 7f00be96f125 ("of: property: Add device link support for interrupt-parent, dmas and -gpio(s)")
