Now there are many different implementations for GPIO pull configuration, for
example:
s3c_gpio_setpull()
tegra_pinmux_set_pullupdown()
chipcHw_setPinPullup()
gpio_pullup()
s3c2410_gpio_pullup()

This patch adds a new generic gpio_set_pull API so that all SoCs can have unified
codes.

For arch/arm/mach-shmobile we also have gpio_pull_up() for board-g4evm.c
and gpio_pull_down() for board-mackerel.c. Both of these would benefit
from this sort of an API addition.

I think I'm okay with this API change.  Linus, what say you?  How does
this interact with your plans for pinctrl?

If gpiolib accept the pullup control. gpiolib is better place to
control gpio config.
then remains are the gpio driver strength, and power down mode
control. powerdown pull-up/down, powerdown in/out at samsung gpios.

Thank you,

If we add this API - the remaining gpio controls like drive strength and 
function select could also be added, which eats into the pinmux domain.
Linus W. had a patch earlier which added an API for a gpio config to be 
specified through gpiolib. " gpio: add a custom configuration mechanism 
to gpiolib" which is sort of an extensible model of this API.

Thanks,

gpio_config() from Linus W. is an interface with multiple functions or
a function for multiple purpose. Its actions seem to be ambiguous,
then mean diffiicult to use or diffirent subsystems still result in
many differences after using it.

pullup/down/none is something very common and much frequently used to
all SoCs, i guess it can have individual, simple and direct API.

I don't oppose gpiolib cover more GPIO configurations, for example OC,
OD and powerdown. but we might keep APIs as simple and clear as
possible.

I have already proposed a similar mechanism in the past, so let's
recap:

1.First I proposed to expose gpio_to_chip() so each driver could
  provide any custom functions using foo_gpio_set_foo() or so
  by dereferencing the struct gpio_chip.
  NIXED: due to bad experience with doing exactly this for
  IRQ chips (Grant)

2. Second I added a sort-of generic control function;
   gpio_config() which would sit in gpiolib and take an enum
   for each operation, if one of these would be
   GPIO_SET_PULL, and a second argument would be
   whether to pull it up or down or open collector or
   open drain or schmitt-trigger or whatever. As you see
   the problem is not limited to up/down.
   This is equal to the proposed patch but with two
   arguments and broader scope, can also be used
   for drive strength etc.

3. Alan Cox suggested that we use a more generic
   control function instead so I wrapped it to an ioctl()-
   like operation with an opaque argument instead.
   This is especially good when you need to pass
   data *out* of the function, not just *in*.

4. After talks with Grant I submitted (1) again.

I'm basically happy with anything as long as there is some
progress, right now we're only bikeshedding, so I'm, resting
my case.

I agree. And this is what I need to move the U300 and Nomadik
GPIO drivers over to struct gpio_chip.

I agree.

> which eats into the pinmux domain.

That's not so bad, since the pinctrl/pinmux subsystem is just a prototype
people may want to wrap up their drivers into gpio_chip/gpiolib as
they stand today to atleast get some isolation. Later on they can
refactor and migrate to a pinctrl/pinmux subsystem.

The latter will take some time to provide anyway, since I have been
asked to restructure it so as not to use a global pin number space.

Yes I think I have already suggested a bunch of ways to skin this
cat but somehow none of them seem to win general approval.

Yours,
