Is that not the case? Happy to move it if the consensus is that that's the correct place to put it.

But first (from Documentation/gpio/drivers-on-gpio.txt): - gpio-keys: drivers/input/keyboard/gpio_keys.c is used when your GPIO line can generate interrupts in response to a key press. Also supports debounce. - gpio-keys-polled: drivers/input/keyboard/gpio_keys_polled.c is used when your GPIO line cannot generate interrupts, so it needs to be periodically polled by a timer. - extcon-gpio: drivers/extcon/extcon-gpio.c is used when you need to read an external connector status, such as a headset line for an audio driver or an HDMI connector. It will provide a better userspace sysfs interface than GPIO. So you mean none of these apply for this case? Second: what you want to do is export a number of GPIOs with certain names to userspace. This is something very generic and should be implemented as such, not as something Chromebook-specific. Patches like that has however already been suggested, and I have NACKed them because the GPIO sysfs ABI is insane, and that is why I am refactoring the world to create a proper chardev ABI for GPIO instead. See: http://marc.info/?l=linux-gpio&m=144550276512673&w=2 So for the moment, NACK on this, please participate in creating the *right* ABI for GPIO instead of trying to shoehorn stuff into the dying sysfs ABI.

The idea is to provide commandline tools in the kernel tools/gpio subdir to satisfy the needs of scripting. "lsgpio" today is just one example, nothing stops us from having a tool called just "gpio-sak" (GPIO swiss army knife) that will be tailored for scripting. > I see that the question of how to provide functionality > equivalent to the above was raised and no answer was forthcoming. Is there a > plan for supporting the identification of a GPIO line serving a specific > purpose? Yes by name. > What is the status of the mentioned patch series? They stubled into a few dozen architecture issues in the GPIO subsystem so I am busy refactoring the whole know universe :D But I still intend to persue the series.

Select Chromebooks have gpio attached to switches used to cause the firmware to enter alternative modes of operation and/or control other device characteristics (such as write protection on flash devices). This patch adds a driver that exposes a read-only interface to allow these signals to be read from user space. This functionality has been generalised to provide support for any device with device tree support which needs to identify a gpio as being used for a specific task.
