To support some (legacy) firmwares and platforms let's make life easier for

This patch provides a function which converts sfi_gpio_table_entry to
gpio_desc. The use of it is integrated into GPIO library to enable generic
access to the SFI GPIO resources.

Your lookup function is ignoring the dev argument. Are SFI GPIOs always
supposed to be system-global?

It's not clear. It could be device related, though SFI itself has
probably wrong design. I rather prefer to avoid a dev parameter check at
all.

  In this case, your if condition should
likely be

        } else if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SFI) && !dev) {

So that a global SFI GPIO does not get mistakenly assigned to a device
that has, say, a more suited platform mapping on the same con_id.

So, for example in the driver that could be enumerated from SFI, DT, and
via platform data you suggest to have something like


desc = gpiod_get(dev, "con_id_device_tree");
...

if (IS_ERR(desc))
  desc = gpiod_get(NULL, "con_id_sfi");

if (IS_ERR(desc))
  desc = gpiod_get(???, "con_id_from_platdata");

Correct?

No, this is not what I'm suggesting. Device drivers should not care who provides the GPIO, they should just ask for it, and obtain it (or not).

The scope of the problem actually depends on what SFI GPIOs are used for. For instance, let's say you have two devices each using an enabling GPIO which happens to be provided by SFI. Both drivers for these devices obtain the enable GPIO as follows:

        enable_gpio = gpiod_get(dev, "enable");

Here you actually have two problems:

1) Since you only look for con_id, how to you discriminate the enable GPIOs for these devices?

2) The device drivers are the one to decide which GPIO name they request. How are SFI GPIO names decided? If you don't have any kind of flexibility for their naming, and want to use them with devices drivers, you will very likely need another naming layer that associates a (device_name, con_id) pair to the right SFI GPIO, similarly to what is done with platform GPIOs. If the only consumer of SFI GPIOs is platform code, and SFI GPIOs are all uniquely named, then you may as well request the device to be NULL for their lookup so that they don't interfere with more precisely-mapped GPIOs.

I don't know anything about SFI GPIOs, how they are defined, where their name comes from, and how they are used so my vision may be incomplete. But AFAICT it all comes down to one of these two scenarios:

1) SFI GPIOs are only used in platform code -> using their pin name is ok, device argument should be assumed to be NULL for their matching 2) SFI GPIOs are also consumed by device drivers -> you need a way to match a (device, con_id) pair to your SFI GPIOs so they can be matched exactly and through the names drivers will request.
