v5 cover Fix Nvidia BlueField-3 GPIO access

Fix Nvidia BlueField-3 GPIO access via libgpiod gpioset tool. gpioset tool fails to modify the GPIO value due to the following:
1) the pinctrl-mlxbf3 driver defines mlxbf3_gpio_request_enable() to enable software to take control over a gpio. Only then can the gpio-mlxbf3 driver modify the direction and value of the gpio. mlxbf3_gpio_disable_free() gives control back to hardware and is called when the "gpioset" command is invoked. This cancels out the effort to change the GPIO value and direction. So mlxbf3_gpio_disable_free() needs to be removed.
2) the gpio-mlxbf3 driver calls gpiochip_generic_request() which calls mlxbf3_gpio_request_enable(). "pin_ranges" needs not to be empty for mlxbf3_gpio_request_enable() to be invoked. So gpio-mlxbf3 needs to populate "pin_ranges".

PATCH v5 1/2 pinctrl: mlxbf3: Remove gpio_disable_free()

Remove support for gpio_disable_free() because it is called when the libgpiod command "gpioset" is invoked. This gives the GPIO control back to hardware which cancels out the effort to set the GPIO value.

Reminder of the code flow to change a GPIO value from software:
1) All GPIOs are controlled by hardware by default
2) To change the GPIO value, enable software control via a mux.
3) Once software has control over the GPIO pin, the gpio-mlxbf3 driver will be able to change the direction and value of the GPIO.

When the user runs "gpioset gpiochip0 0=0" for example, the gpio pin value should change from 1 to 0. In this case, mlxbf3_gpio_request_enable() is called via gpiochip_generic_request(). The latter switches GPIO control from hardware to software. Then the GPIO value is changed from 1 to 0. However, gpio_disable_free() is also called which changes control back to hardware which changes the GPIO value back to 1.

Fixes d11f932808d ("pinctrl: mlxbf3: Add pinctrl driver support")

PATCH v5 2/2 gpio: mlxbf3: Support add_pin_ranges()

In reply to Asmaa Mnebhi

Support add_pin_ranges() so that pinctrl_gpio_request() can be called. The GPIO value is not modified when the user runs the "gpioset" tool. This is because when gpiochip_generic_request is invoked by the gpio-mlxbf3 driver, "pin_ranges" is empty so it skips "pinctrl_gpio_request()". pinctrl_gpio_request() is essential in the code flow because it changes the mux value so that software has control over modifying the GPIO value. Adding add_pin_ranges() creates a dependency on the pinctrl-mlxbf3.c driver.

It's not clear to me whether this depends on patch 1? If only at run-time then I guess Linus and I can take the two patches through ours respective trees?

Indeed from a build point of view, there is no dependency so you could take the 2 patches through your respective tree. However, at run-time, the gpio-mlxbf3.c driver fails to load without the pinctrl-mlxbf3.c driver. Should I add a "depends on" in the Kconfig? Then you will have to include both patches in your tree.

Thanks.

Yep pick this one, I applied 1/2 to the pinctrl tree now.

gpio. mlxbf3_gpio_disable_free() gives control back to hardware and is called when the "gpioset" command is invoked. This cancels out the effort to change the GPIO value and direction. So mlxbf3_gpio_disable_free() needs to be removed.
2) the gpio-mlxbf3 driver calls gpiochip_generic_request() which calls mlxbf3_gpio_request_enable(). "pin_ranges" needs not to be empty for mlxbf3_gpio_request_enable() to be invoked. So gpio-mlxbf3 needs to populate "pin_ranges".

This patch set looks good to me!
