[patch 2.6.25-rc2-git] gpio: <linux/gpio.h> and "no GPIO support here" stubs

From: David Brownell
Date: Fri Feb 22 2008 - 20:15:31 EST


Add a <linux/gpio.h> defining fail/warn stubs for GPIO calls on platforms
that don't support the GPIO programming interface. That includes the
arch-specific implementation glue otherwise.

This facilitates a new model for GPIO usage: drivers that can use GPIOs
if they're available, but don't require them. One example of such a
driver is NAND driver for various FreeScale chips. On platforms update
with GPIO support, they can be used instead of a worst-case delay to
verify that the BUSY signal is off.

(Also includes a couple minor unrelated doc updates.)

If you stick to this convention then it'll be easier for other developers to
see what your code is doing, and help maintain it.

There are other system-specific mechanisms that are not specified here,
like the aforementioned options for input de-glitching and wire-OR output.
