Subject: [PATCH 3/6] gpio: orion: do not let banks without alias collide
Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 22:31:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103-orion_kw_mvebu-v1-3-86442c0d283e@puzzle.ch> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103-orion_kw_mvebu-v1-0-86442c0d283e@puzzle.ch>
The driver uses the "gpio" alias index to place a bank in the global
GPIO number space and leaves the base at 0 when there is no alias. The
Kirkwood device trees have no gpio aliases, so both banks were
registered at base 0. gpiochip_add() then rejected the second bank with
-EBUSY, which the driver ignored, so every user of gpio1 deferred
forever:
gpio-leds gpio-leds.of: error Requested probe deferral: getting gpio for /gpio-leds/led-level
gpio_keys gpio_keys.of: error Requested probe deferral: requesting gpio #0
Let gpiolib choose the base when there is no alias, and fail the probe
with an error message if the chip cannot be registered.
