what do you mean by dedicated function.. be a bit clearer in the
commit
log.
This term is from the QE spec, I didn't invent anything. ;-)
"Each pin in the I/O ports can be configured as a general-purpose
I/O signal or as a dedicated peripheral interface signal. ...many
dedicated peripheral functions are multiplexed onto the ports."
I understand but I think 'dedicated' could be interpreted in another
way (like the GPIO pin is dedicated, not that the pin is used for a
dedicated SoC block).
If it the commit message had said 'to a dedicated on chip peripheral'
it would be clearer.
Also, does this depend on gpio_to_chip() patch?
Yeah, the point of exported gpio_to_chip is to let us write
this function.
I meant can I take this patch w/o the gpio_to_chip() patch? (not clear
from your response)
