Hi All,

This is regarding the protected pins configuration reading and printing from non-secure operating systems. GPIO framework is checking whether pin is in use(flag FLAG_REQUESTED) or not in gpiolib_dbg_show().

If GPIO chip drivers are overriding the dbg_show callback, drivers are not checking whether a pin is really in use or not to print configuration details.
    if (chip->dbg_show)
                chip->dbg_show(s, chip);
        else
                gpiolib_dbg_show(s, gdev);

I think, reserved-gpio-ranges solution may move the problem to dts settings maintenance as they change from platform to platform.

Can we use a simple/common solution like below? It will check whether a pin is in use or not before printing configuration data with the help of gpiochip_is_requested().
