gpiolib管理gpio过程

在linux2.6.38中提供了统一管理外部io的模块。本文的内容是跟踪这些模块，是如何关联起来的。

环境：龙芯1b开发板

一、重点关注的相关的结构体：

gpiolib.c文件，被移植到driver/gpio/目录下。

structgpio_desc {

structgpio_chip *chip;

unsignedlong flags;

/*flag symbols are bit numbers */

#defineFLAG_REQUESTED 0

#defineFLAG_IS_OUT 1

#defineFLAG_RESERVED 2

#defineFLAG_EXPORT 3 /* protected by sysfs_lock */

#defineFLAG_SYSFS 4 /* exported via /sys/class/gpio/control */

#defineFLAG_TRIG_FALL 5 /* trigger on falling edge */

#defineFLAG_TRIG_RISE 6 /* trigger on rising edge */

#defineFLAG_ACTIVE_LOW 7 /* sysfs value has active low */

#defineID_SHIFT 16 /* add new flags before this one */

#defineGPIO_FLAGS_MASK ((1 << ID_SHIFT) - 1)

#defineGPIO_TRIGGER_MASK (BIT(FLAG_TRIG_FALL) | BIT(FLAG_TRIG_RISE))

#ifdefCONFIG_DEBUG_FS

constchar *label;

#endif

};

对于上面这个结构体，现在只关心structgpio_chip *chip;

structgpio_chip {

constchar *label;

structdevice *dev;

structmodule *owner;

int (*request)(struct gpio_chip *chip,

unsignedoffset);

void (*free)(struct gpio_chip *chip,

unsignedoffset);

int (*direction_input)(struct gpio_chip *chip,

unsignedoffset);

int (*get)(struct gpio_chip *chip,

unsignedoffset);

int (*direction_output)(struct gpio_chip *chip,

unsignedoffset, int value);

int (*set_debounce)(struct gpio_chip *chip,

unsignedoffset, unsigned debounce);
