数据结构

一个gpio number 对应一个 gpio_desc


struct gpio_desc {
struct gpio_chip *chip; /* 这个gpio pin所在的chip */
unsigned long flags; /*  设置is_out flag */
const char *label; /* label 就是名字 */
};


所有gpio_desc组成全局的gpio_desc[ARCH_NR_GPIOS];


其中一个chip对应一个 chip->base+len个 gpio pin
全部的chip加起来就是全部的gpio pin
|chip1 base + len |chip2 base + len |chip3 base + len |chip4 base + len |...|

API

gpio_request

找到对应的desc
设置一下flag的FLAG_REQUESTED这个位。
设置一下这个desc的label

gpio_free

gpio_request_one

 - request a single GPIO with initial configuration
request 并初始化相关的flag

gpio_request_array 

- request multiple GPIOs in a single call
for(i = 0; i < num; i++, array++)  gpio_request_one;

devm_gpio_request 

--> "managed" versions 
automatically handle cleanup if the developer forgets

gpio pin 到底用于输入，还是输出


Some GPIOs are used for output, others for input. A suitably-wired GPIO can be used in either mode, though only one direction is active at
