PATCH 1/1 backlight: gpio-backlight: Fix warning when the GPIO is on a I2C chip

If the GPIO for the backlight is on an I2C chip, we currently get nasty warnings like this during the boot:

OK, I see.
However, gpio_backlight drive can be used by a lot of gpio drivers. In some cases, 'can_sleep' is 'false' and gpio_set_value_cansleep() is unnecessary.

In my opinion, gpio_set_value_cansleep() or gpio_set_value() can be called selectively by 'can_sleep' value.

How about the following?

- gpio_set_value(gbl->gpio, brightness ? gbl->active : !gbl->active);
+ if (gpio_cansleep(gbl->gpio))
+ gpio_set_value_cansleep(gbl->gpio,
+ brightness ? gbl->active : !gbl->active);
+ else
+ gpio_set_value(gbl->gpio, brightness ? gbl->active : !gbl->active);

OK, I see.

gpio_set_value_cansleep() calls gpiod_set_raw_value_cansleep(), and gpio_set_value() calls gpiod_set_raw_value() as below.

./drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c
void gpiod_set_raw_value_cansleep(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value)

{
        might_sleep_if(extra_checks);
        if (!desc)
                return;
        _gpiod_set_raw_value(desc, value);
}

EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(gpiod_set_raw_value_cansleep);

./drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c
void gpiod_set_raw_value(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value)

{
        if (!desc)
                return;
        /* Should be using gpio_set_value_cansleep() */
        WARN_ON(desc->chip->can_sleep);
        _gpiod_set_raw_value(desc, value);
}

EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(gpiod_set_raw_value);

Then, the difference between gpio_set_value_cansleep() or gpio_set_value() is whether might_sleep_if(extra_checks) is called or not.

So, you said that "It should be always fine to use gpio_set_value_cansleep()", right?

Linus Walleij,
Is there any reason to keep these two functions such as gpiod_set_raw_value_cansleep() and gpiod_set_raw_value()?

Linus Walleij,

Yes, the former can *not* be called from interrupt context, and thus erroneous usage can be detected with runtime checks.

Linus Walleij

Hi Lee Jones,

Would you apply this patch into backlight git tree? If you have other opinions, please let us know. :-) Thank you.
