GPIOs in drivers, and how to write a driver for a device that provides GPIOs
itself.
-Due to the history of GPIO interfaces in the kernel, there are two different
-ways to obtain and use GPIOs:
-
- - The descriptor-based interface is the preferred way to manipulate GPIOs,
- and is described by all the files in this directory excepted legacy.rst.
- - The legacy integer-based interface which is considered deprecated (but still
- usable for compatibility reasons) is documented in legacy.rst.
-
-The remainder of this document applies to the new descriptor-based interface.
-legacy.rst contains the same information applied to the legacy
-integer-based interface.
