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");

You rather can't do that in sfi case. Yes, the structure has (stringy)
reference to gpio chip that provides a line, but in practice the gpio
line name should be unique. Consider this is misdesign of SFI as I
mentioned earlier.

Ok. Note that this is not necessarily a bad thing, it just means that SFI GPIOs should only be used by platform-specific code that is aware of their existence (and particular naming).

Device drivers on the other hand cannot make any assumption on who will provide the GPIO, so if you want them to be able to use SFI GPIOs, you will need an actual way to map then to (device, function) pairs. If this use-case is out of the equation, then I'm glad with the v6 of your patch.

But David raised a point that kind of sounds like he might want to use them that way, so I'm holding off my ack until this is solved.

Alex.
