From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Brian Masney Subject: [PATCH] pinctrl: qcom: ssbi-gpio: fix gpio-hog related boot issues Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2018 20:34:11 -0500 Message-ID: <20181111013411.14153-1-masneyb@onstation.org> Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org To: bjorn.andersson@linaro.org, linus.walleij@linaro.org Cc: linux-arm-msm@vger.kernel.org, linux-gpio@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-arm-msm@vger.kernel.org When attempting to setup up a gpio hog, device probing will repeatedly fail with -EPROBE_DEFERED errors. It is caused by a circular dependency between the gpio and pinctrl frameworks. If the gpio-ranges property is present in device tree, then the gpio framework will handle the gpio pin registration and eliminate the circular dependency. See Christian Lamparter's commit a86caa9ba5d7 ("pinctrl: msm: fix gpio-hog related boot issues") for a detailed commit message that explains the issue in much more detail. The code comment in this commit came from Christian's commit. I did not test this change against any hardware supported by this particular driver, however I was able to validate this same fix works for pinctrl-spmi-gpio.c using a LG Nexus 5 (hammerhead) phone.
