PATCH 1/1 gpiolib: acpi: Make set debounce errors non fatal

Commit 16c07342b542 ("gpiolib: acpi: Program debounce when finding GPIO") adds a gpio_set_debounce_timeout() call to acpi_find_gpio() and makes acpi_find_gpio() fail if this fails.

But gpio_set_debounce_timeout() failing is a somewhat normal occurrence, since not all debounce values are supported on all GPIO/pinctrl chips.

Making this an error for example break getting the card-detect GPIO for the micro-sd slot found on many Bay Trail tablets, breaking support for the micro-sd slot on these tablets.

acpi_request_own_gpiod() already treats gpio_set_debounce_timeout() failures as non-fatal, just warning about them.

Add a acpi_gpio_set_debounce_timeout() helper which wraps gpio_set_debounce_timeout() and warns on failures and replace both existing gpio_set_debounce_timeout() calls with the helper.

Since the helper only warns on failures this fixes the card-detect issue.

Looks pretty much identical now to what I sent in my v3 and that Andy had requested we change to make it fatal [1].

Where is this bad GPIO value coming from? It's in the GpioInt() declaration? If so, should the driver actually be supporting this?

Since it's in acpi_find_gpio() it's about any GPIO resource type. Sorry, it seems I missed this fact. I was under the impression that v4 was done only for the GpioInt() case. With this being said, the GpioIo() should not be fatal (it's already proven by cases in the wild that sometimes given values there are unsupported by HW), but GpioInt() in my opinion needs a justification to become non-fatal. OTOH, for the first case we can actually run SW debounce. But it might be quite an intrusive change to call it "a fix".

So, taking the above into account I suggest that the helper should return int and check the info.gpioint flag and in case of being set, return an error, otherwise ignore wrong settings. Or something like this. In such a case we may also use it in the acpi_dev_gpio_irq_wake_get_by().

GpioInt() debounce setting not succeeding already is non fatal in the acpi_request_own_gpiod() case, which is used for ACPI events (_AEI resources) and that exact use-case is why it was made non-fatal, so no this is not only about GpioIo() resources. See commit cef0d022f553 ("gpiolib: acpi: Make set-debounce-timeout failures non fatal")

IOW we need set debounce failures to be non-fatal for both the GpioIo and GpioInt cases and this fix is correct as is.

It is very likely too late to fix this *regression* for 6.17.0, please queue this up for merging ASAP so that we can get a fix added to 6.17.1

Regards,

Hans

Okay, since it doesn't change the state of affairs with for acpi_dev_gpio_irq_wake_get_by(), it's fair enough to get it as is. Mario, do you agree with Hans' explanations?
