This adds a function named devm_gpiod_unhinge() that removes the resource management from a GPIO descriptor. I am not sure if this is the best anglosaxon name for the function, no other managed resources have an equivalent currently, but I chose "unhinge" as the closest intuitive thing I could imagine that fits Rusty Russell's API design criterions "the obvious use is the correct one" and "the name tells you how to use it". The idea came out of a remark from Mark Brown that it should be possible to handle over management of a resource from devres to the regulator core, and indeed we can do that. Cc: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@baylibre.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> --- ChangeLog v3->v4: - Pass a pointer to a pointer &desc instead of just the descriptor pointer: it is the memory address storing the pointer that hooks into resource management. ChangeLog v2->v3: - Make sure to bail out of gpiod_unhinge() if the descritor passed in is NULL or an error pointer. - Accept of devres_destroy() returns -ENOENT: if we have nonexclusive GPIOs, we may attempt to remove resource management from the same descriptor multiple times. ChangeLog v1->v2: - New patch to be able to hand over GPIO descriptors to the regulator core. - Mark: feel free to apply this to the regulator tree with the regulator tree with the rest. --- Documentation/driver-model/devres.txt | 1 + drivers/gpio/gpiolib-devres.c | 30 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/gpio/consumer.h | 10 +++++++++ 3 files changed, 41 insertions(+) -- 2.19.2
