[PATCH 0/2] gpio: Add gpio-latch driver

From: Sascha Hauer
Date: Thu Aug 25 2022 - 05:41:45 EST


This adds a gpio-driver which multiplexes existing GPIOs using latches.
Uwe asked [1] if that would be accectable as a new gpio driver, and here
is the result. For a better description what this is all about have a
look at the drawings in the patches.

The driver is pretty much straight forward. The only thing I wasn't sure
about is in which category in Kconfig the driver should be sorted in. I
decided for "Virtual GPIO drivers" which is not an exact match, but the
best I could find in the existing categories.
