When the DVS GPIO is invalid, lp872x_init_dvs jumps to the set_default_dvs_mode label, which instructs the chip not to use the DVS pin at all and do it all in software instead (by clearing the LP8720_EXT_DVS_M bit in the LP872X_GENERAL_CFG register). That is reflected later in the code, when setting the bucks (the DVS pin only applies to the bucks) by checking for the LP8720_EXT_DVS_M bit on the LP872X_GENERAL_CFG register (in lp872x_select_buck_vout_addr) to decide whether to use software or hardware DVS selection. As far as I understood, everything goes well when the GPIO is invalid. -- Paul Kocialkowski, Replicant developer Replicant is a fully free Android distribution running on several devices, a free software mobile operating system putting the emphasis on freedom and privacy/security.

I would expect the driver at least needs to know how the pins or strapped, or otherwise have configuration for ignoring the input on the pins. This just deletes the warnings, it doesn't have any handling for this case that I can see. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
