OK. So I suggested correction of the Xilinx GPIO driver so that it always sets
the flags:
static int xgpio_xlate(struct gpio_chip *gc,
const struct of_phandle_args *gpiospec, u32 *flags)
{
struct of_mm_gpio_chip *mm_gc = to_of_mm_gpio_chip(gc);
struct xgpio_instance *chip = container_of(mm_gc, struct xgpio_instance,
mmchip);
if(flags)
* flags = 0;
if (gpiospec->args[1] == chip->offset)
return gpiospec->args[0];
return -EINVAL;
}
With best regards,
Wojtek
