[PATCH] wlcore/wl18xx: Add invert-irq OF property for physically inverted IRQ

From: Eugeniu Rosca
Date: Fri Jun 07 2019 - 13:34:57 EST


The wl1837mod datasheet [1] says about the WL_IRQ pin:

---8<---
SDIO available, interrupt out. Active high. [..]
Set to rising edge (active high) on powerup.
---8<---

That's the reason of seeing the interrupt configured as:
- IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING on HiKey 960/970
- IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH on a number of i.MX6 platforms

We assert that all those platforms have the WL_IRQ pin connected
to the SoC _directly_ (confirmed on HiKey 970 [2]).

That's not the case for R-Car Kingfisher extension target, which carries
a WL1837MODGIMOCT IC. There is an SN74LV1T04DBVR inverter present
between the WLAN_IRQ pin of the WL18* chip and the SoC, effectively
reversing the requirement quoted from [1]. IOW, in Kingfisher DTS
configuration we would need to use IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING or
IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW.

Unfortunately, v4.2-rc1 commit bd763482c82ea2 ("wl18xx: wlan_irq:
support platform dependent interrupt types") made a special case out
of these interrupt types. After this commit, it is impossible to provide
an IRQ configuration via DTS which would describe an inverter present
between the WL18* chip and the SoC, generating the need for workarounds
like [3].

Create a boolean OF property, called "invert-irq" to specify that
the WLAN_IRQ pin of WL18* is connected to the SoC via an inverter.

This solution has been successfully tested on R-Car H3ULCB-KF-M06 using
the DTS configuration [4] combined with the "invert-irq" property.
