Merge tag 'pinctrl-v7.3-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrlgrafted
Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
"Core changes:
- Use the non-blocking mux_state_try_select() in the generic MUX pin
control back-end
- Free pin maps on pinctrl_generic_to_map() failure in the core
helpers
New hardware pin control:
- Qualcomm Maili TLMM SoC, PMG1110 PMIC, and Eliza LPASS LPI TLMM SoC
(this is for the low power audio, LPASS = Low Power Audio SubSystem
portions)
- Upboard support on top of the Intel pin controller
- Apple T6030 and T6031 support (just compatible strings)
- Samsung Exynos 8855 SoC
- Mediatek MT6858 SoC
- Rockchip RK3308B and RV1106 SoCs
- Airoha EN7523 and AN7563 SoCs
Improvements:
- Qualcomm TLMM GPIOs are unconditionally marked as wakeup capable
- Qualcomm improvements on top of the Qualcomm PDC (power domain
controller) irqchip improvements from tglx:s tree
- Qualcomm IPQ806x and IPQ9650 non-urgent pin grop fixups
- The NPCM8xx driver has been put into shape fixing many pin and
group definitions
- Some non-urgent Tegra 264 pin assignments are fixed up
- Some non-urgent fixups to Airoha AN7581 and AN7583 registers and
pin assignments, missing features etc"

These two kinds of +callbacks are completely independent of each other. Information on the +completion callback can be found in :ref:`usb-urb`. + +The callbacks defined in the driver structure are: + +1. Hotplugging callbacks: + + - @probe: + Called to see if the driver is willing to manage a particular + interface on a device. + + - @disconnect: + Called when the interface is no longer accessible, usually + because its device has been (or is being) disconnected or the + driver module is being unloaded. + +2. Odd backdoor through usbfs: + + - @ioctl: + Used for drivers that want to talk to userspace through + the "usbfs" filesystem. This lets devices provide ways to + expose information to user space regardless of where they + do (or don't) show up otherwise in the filesystem. + +3. Power management (PM) callbacks: + + - @suspend: + Called when the device is going to be suspended. + + - @resume: + Called when the device is being resumed. + + - @reset_resume: + Called when the suspended device has been reset instead + of being resumed. + +4. Device level operations: + + - @pre_reset: + Called when the device is about to be reset. + + - @post_reset: + Called after the device has been reset + +The ioctl interface (2) should be used only if you have a very good +reason. Sysfs is preferred these days. The PM callbacks are covered +separately in :ref:`usb-power-management`. + +Calling conventions +=================== + +All callbacks are mutually exclusive. There's no need for locking +against other USB callbacks. All callbacks are called from a task +context. You may sleep. However, it is important that all sleeps have a +small fixed upper limit in time. In particular you must not call out to +user space and await results. + +Hotplugging callbacks +===================== + +These callbacks are intended to associate and disassociate a driver with +an interface. A driver's bond to an interface is exclusive. + +The probe() callback +-------------------- + +:: + + int (*probe) (struct usb_interface *intf, + const struct usb_device_id *id); + +Accept or decline an interface. If you accept the device return 0, +otherwise -ENODEV or -ENXIO. Other error codes should be used only if a +genuine error occurred during initialisation which prevented a driver +from accepting a device that would else have been accepted. +You are strongly encouraged to use usbcore's facility, +usb_set_intfdata(), to associate a data structure with an interface, so +that you know which internal state and identity you associate with a +particular interface. The device will not be suspended and you may do IO +to the interface you are called for and endpoint 0 of the device. Device +initialisation that doesn't take too long is a good idea here. + +The disconnect() callback +------------------------- + +:: + + void (*disconnect) (struct usb_interface *intf); + +This callback is a signal to break any connection with an interface. +You are not allowed any IO to a device after returning from this +callback. You also may not do any other operation that may interfere +with another driver bound to the interface, eg. a power management +operation. Outstanding operations on the device must be completed or +aborted before this callback may return. + +If you are called due to a physical disconnection, all your URBs will be +killed by usbcore. Note that in this case disconnect will be called some +time after the physical disconnection. Thus your driver must be prepared +to deal with failing IO even prior to the callback. + +Device level callbacks +====================== + +pre_reset +--------- + +:: + + int (*pre_reset)(struct usb_interface *intf); + +A driver or user space is triggering a reset on the device which +contains the interface passed as an argument. Cease IO, wait for all +outstanding URBs to complete, and save any device state you need to +restore. No more URBs may be submitted until the post_reset method +is called. + +If you need to allocate memory here, use GFP_NOIO or GFP_ATOMIC, if you +are in atomic context. + +post_reset +---------- + +:: + + int (*post_reset)(struct usb_interface *intf); + +The reset has completed. Restore any saved device state and begin +using the device again. + +If you need to allocate memory here, use GFP_NOIO or GFP_ATOMIC, if you +are in atomic context. + +Call sequences +============== + +No callbacks other than probe will be invoked for an interface +that isn't bound to your driver. + +Probe will never be called for an interface bound to a driver. +Hence following a successful probe, disconnect will be called +before there is another probe for the same interface. + +Once your driver is bound to an interface, disconnect can be +called at any time except in between pre_reset and post_reset. +pre_reset is always followed by post_reset, even if the reset +failed or the device has been unplugged. + +suspend is always followed by one of: resume, reset_resume, or +disconnect. |
