it doesn't make a difference though, right ?
gpiod_direction_output(NULL, 1) won't do anything.
/me goes look at code
Man this is messed up. If you follow gpiod_get_optional, you'll end up
at gpiod_get_index_optional() which I quote below:
1989 struct gpio_desc *__must_check __gpiod_get_index_optional(struct device
*dev,
1990 const char *con_id,
1991 unsigned int index,
1992 enum gpiod_flags
flags)
1993 {
1994 struct gpio_desc *desc;
1995
1996 desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, con_id, index, flags);
1997 if (IS_ERR(desc)) {
1998 if (PTR_ERR(desc) == -ENOENT)
1999 return NULL;
2000 }
2001
2002 return desc;
2003 }
2004 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(__gpiod_get_index_optional);
So, if the error code is -ENOENT it returns NULL, that tells me NULL is
a valid gpio descriptor. If you follow gpiod_direction_output() however,
what you get is:
1072 int gpiod_direction_output(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value)
1073 {
1074 if (!desc || !desc->chip) {
1075 pr_warn("%s: invalid GPIO\n", __func__);
1076 return -EINVAL;
1077 }
1078 if (test_bit(FLAG_ACTIVE_LOW, &desc->flags))
1079 value = !value;
1080 return _gpiod_direction_output_raw(desc, value);
1081 }
1082 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(gpiod_direction_output);
That pr_warn() tells me NULL is *not* a valid gpio descriptor. Linus, is
that just something that was missed until now ?
