pinctrl: allow exlusive GPIO/mux pin allocation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Disallow simultaneous use of the the GPIO and peripheral mux
functions by setting a flag "strict" in struct pinctrl_desc.

The blackfin pinmux and gpio controller doesn't allow user to
set up a pin for both GPIO and peripheral function. So, add flag
strict in struct pinctrl_desc to check both gpio_owner and
mux_owner before approving the pin request.

v2-changes:
- if strict flag is set, check gpio_owner and mux_onwer in if and
  else clause

v3-changes:
- add kerneldoc for this struct
- augment Documentation/pinctrl.txt

A flag "strict" in struct pinctrl_desc is available to check and deny
simultaneous access to the same pin from GPIO and pin multiplexing
consumers on hardware of this type. The pinctrl driver should set this flag
accordingly.

need not be the case.

In some pin controllers, although the physical pins are designed in the same
way as (B), the GPIO function still can't be enabled at the same time as the
peripheral functions. So again the "strict" flag should be set, denying
simultaneous activation by GPIO and other muxed in devices.

From a kernel point of view, however, these are different aspects of the
hardware and shall be put into different subsystems:
