I sent the patch to fix this adding the flag to the GPIO pins.
I tested it and it works fine indeed. The patch is awaiting for
approval as it is a little big. The commitlog is below for reference:
mx6: Add IOMUX_CONFIG_SION flag to all GPIO pins
The IOMUX_CONFIG_SION allows for reading PAD value from PSR register.
The following quote from the datasheet:
,----
| ...
| 28.4.2.2 GPIO Write Mode
| The programming sequence for driving output signals should be as follows:
| 1. Configure IOMUX to select GPIO mode (Via IOMUXC), also enable
SION if need
| to read loopback pad value through PSR
| 2. Configure GPIO direction register to output (GPIO_GDIR[GDIR]
set to 1b).
| 3. Write value to data register (GPIO_DR).
| ...
`----
This fixes the gpio_get_value to properly work when a GPIO is set for
output and has no conflicts.
Thanks for Benoît Thébaudeau <benoit.thebaud...@advansee.com>, Fabio
