Subject: [PATCH v3] serial: exar: Fix GPIO configuration for Sealevel cards based on XR17V35X
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2020 16:08:17 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9318fef6-f2d4-dc77-2a25-6033d63aab9b@g.clemson.edu> (raw)


From: Matthew Howell <matthew.howell@sealevel.com>

Sealevel XR17V35X based devices are inoperable on kernel versions
4.11 and above due to a change in the GPIO preconfiguration introduced in commit
7dea8165f1d. This patch fixes this by preconfiguring the GPIO on Sealevel
cards to the value (0x00) used prior to commit 7dea8165f1d

With GPIOs preconfigured as per commit 7dea8165f1d all ports on
Sealevel XR17V35X based devices become stuck in high impedance
mode, regardless of dip-switch or software configuration. This
causes the device to become effectively unusable. This patch (in
various forms) has been distributed to our customers and no issues
related to it have been reported.

Fixes: 7dea8165f1d ("serial: exar: Preconfigure xr17v35x MPIOs as output")
Signed-off-by: Matthew Howell <matthew.howell@sealevel.com>

Patch resubmitted as per comments received on
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-serial/msg39371.html

Moved problem description and justification above the signed-off-by
line.

checkpatch.pl reports no styling issues with the diff below.

Let me know if I need to make any other changes.
