From 6deb8435f6bfcc9b6c7efe3b8a941ae2fb731495 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bartosz Golaszewski Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2025 14:46:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] gpio: deprecate the GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_NONEXCLUSIVE flag The non-exclusive GPIO request flag looks like a functional feature but is in fact a workaround for a corner-case that got out of hand. It should be removed so deprecate it officially so that nobody uses it anymore.
