[PATCH 13/21] hte: tegra194: improve the GPIO-related comment

From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Tue Sep 05 2023 - 14:55:21 EST


From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>

Using any of the GPIO interfaces using the global numberspace is
deprecated. Make it clear in the comment.

/*
+ * GPIO consumers can access GPIOs in two ways:
*
- * There are two paths GPIO consumers can take as follows:
- * 1) The consumer (gpiolib-cdev for example) which uses GPIO global
- * number which gets assigned run time.
- * 2) The consumer passing GPIO from the DT which is assigned
- * statically for example by using TEGRA194_AON_GPIO gpio DT binding.
+ * 1) Using the global GPIO numberspace.
+ *
+ * This is the old, now DEPRECATED method and should not be used in
+ * new code. TODO: Check if tegra is even concerned by this.
+ *
+ * 2) Using GPIO descriptors that can be assigned to consumer devices
+ * using device-tree, ACPI or lookup tables.
*
* The code below addresses both the consumer use cases and maps into
* HTE/GTE namespace.
