There are multiple instances of GPIO device tree nodes of the form:
foo {
compatible = "acme,foo";
...
gpio0: gpio0@xxxxxxxx {
compatible = "acme,bar";
...
gpio-controller;
};
gpio1: gpio1@xxxxxxxx {
compatible = "acme,bar";
...
gpio-controller;
};
...
}
bazz {
my-gpios = <&gpio0 ...>;
}
Case 1: The driver for "foo" populates struct device for these gpio*
nodes and then probes them using a driver that binds with "acme,bar".
This driver for "acme,bar" then registers the gpio* nodes with gpiolib.
This lines up with how DT nodes with the "compatible" property are
typically converted to struct devices and then registered with driver
core to probe them. This also allows the gpio* devices to hook into all
the driver core capabilities like runtime PM, probe deferral,
suspend/resume ordering, device links, etc.
Case 2: The driver for "foo" doesn't populate struct devices for these
gpio* nodes before registering them with gpiolib. Instead it just loops
through its child nodes and directly registers the gpio* nodes with
gpiolib.
Drivers that follow case 2 cause problems with fw_devlink=on. This is
because fw_devlink will prevent bazz from probing until there's a struct
device that has gpio0 as its fwnode (because bazz lists gpio0 as a GPIO
supplier). Once the struct device is available, fw_devlink will create a
device link with gpio0 device as the supplier and bazz device as the
consumer. After this point, since the gpio0 device will never bind to a
driver, the device link will prevent bazz device from ever probing.
Finding and refactoring all the instances of drivers that follow case 2
will cause a lot of code churn and it is not something that can be done
in one shot. In some instances it might not even be possible to refactor
them cleanly. Examples of such instances are [1] [2].
This patch works around this problem and avoids all the code churn by
simply setting the fwnode of the gpio_device and creating a stub driver
to bind to the gpio_device. This allows all the consumers to continue
probing when the driver follows case 2.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels
-
BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
- Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux,
additions of
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export. - When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.
- Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux,
additions of
-
LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
Common Kernel patch requirements
- All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass
script/checkpatch.pl - Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
- If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch:
UPSTREAM:,BACKPORT:,FROMGIT:,FROMLIST:, orANDROID:. - All patches must have a
Change-Id:tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html) - If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a
Bug:tag. - All patches must have a
Signed-off-by:tag by the author and the submitter
Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type
Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:
- If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
- tag the patch subject with
UPSTREAM:. - add upstream commit information with a
(cherry picked from commit ...)line - Example:
- if the upstream commit message is
