I would expect that is gone with d99482673f950817b30caf3fcdfb31179b050ce1 if not earlier. Best regards Uwe

If CONFIG_GPIOLIB is disabled, mctrl_gpio_init() returns -ENOSYS unconditionally here: [1]. The existing patch (d99482673f95) seems to handle the case when CONFIG_GPIOLIB is enabled, but no or not all GPIOs are given in the dtb. The sh-sci.c driver has a similar check to skip this case: [2].

I don't think we should handle this on a per-driver basis. So my suggestion is to drop the dummy implementation for mctrl_gpio if GPIOLIB is disabled. Then the behaviour should be consistant with the gpio stuff returning NULL in this case. (Or alternatively adapt the dummy implementation to shortcut and behave identically.) (Having said that I don't like gpiolib's behaviour of returning NULL for the optional calls if it's disabled, but having mctrl_gpio behave differently is worse.) > The sh-sci.c driver has a similar check to skip this case: [2]. This should than be dropped, too.

(Or alternatively adapt the dummy > implementation to shortcut and behave identically.) I get your point, but it seems a bit strange to go down all the way from the driver to mctrl_gpio_init_noauto() and into the loop just to return an empty struct mctrl_gpios to the driver that will be looped over again on each call of mctrl_gpio_*(). So I would rather go with a variation of your second proposal and keep the dummy implementation, but let it return NULL instead of an error pointer, as all the mctrl_gpio_*() functions already seem to have a check for gpios == NULL.
