1				S3C2410 GPIO Control
2				====================
3	
4	Introduction
5	------------
6	
7	  The s3c2410 kernel provides an interface to configure and
8	  manipulate the state of the GPIO pins, and find out other
9	  information about them.
10	
11	  There are a number of conditions attached to the configuration
12	  of the s3c2410 GPIO system, please read the Samsung provided
13	  data-sheet/users manual to find out the complete list.
14	
15	  See Documentation/arm/Samsung/GPIO.txt for the core implemetation.
16	
17	
18	GPIOLIB
19	-------
20	
21	  With the event of the GPIOLIB in drivers/gpio, support for some
22	  of the GPIO functions such as reading and writing a pin will
23	  be removed in favour of this common access method.
24	
25	  Once all the extant drivers have been converted, the functions
26	  listed below will be removed (they may be marked as __deprecated
27	  in the near future).
28	
29	  The following functions now either have a s3c_ specific variant
30	  or are merged into gpiolib. See the definitions in
31	  arch/arm/plat-samsung/include/plat/gpio-cfg.h:
32	
33	  s3c2410_gpio_setpin()		gpio_set_value() or gpio_direction_output()
34	  s3c2410_gpio_getpin()		gpio_get_value() or gpio_direction_input()
35	  s3c2410_gpio_getirq()		gpio_to_irq()
36	  s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin()		s3c_gpio_cfgpin()
37	  s3c2410_gpio_getcfg()		s3c_gpio_getcfg()
38	  s3c2410_gpio_pullup()		s3c_gpio_setpull()
39	
40	
41	GPIOLIB conversion
42	------------------
43	
44	If you need to convert your board or driver to use gpiolib from the exiting
45	s3c2410 api, then here are some notes on the process.
46	
47	1) If your board is exclusively using an GPIO, say to control peripheral
48	   power, then it will require to claim the gpio with gpio_request() before
49	   it can use it.
50	
51	   It is recommended to check the return value, with at least WARN_ON()
52	   during initialisation.
53	
54	2) The s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin() can be directly replaced with s3c_gpio_cfgpin()
55	   as they have the same arguments, and can either take the pin specific
56	   values, or the more generic special-function-number arguments.
57	
58	3) s3c2410_gpio_pullup() changs have the problem that whilst the 
59	   s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 1) can be easily translated to the
60	   s3c_gpio_setpull(x, S3C_GPIO_PULL_NONE), the s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 0)
61	   are not so easy.
62	
63	   The s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 0) case enables the pull-up (or in the case
64	   of some of the devices, a pull-down) and as such the new API distinguishes
65	   between the UP and DOWN case. There is currently no 'just turn on' setting
66	   which may be required if this becomes a problem.
67	
68	4) s3c2410_gpio_setpin() can be replaced by gpio_set_value(), the old call
69	   does not implicitly configure the relevant gpio to output. The gpio
70	   direction should be changed before using gpio_set_value().
71	
72	5) s3c2410_gpio_getpin() is replaceable by gpio_get_value() if the pin
73	   has been set to input. It is currently unknown what the behaviour is
74	   when using gpio_get_value() on an output pin (s3c2410_gpio_getpin
75	   would return the value the pin is supposed to be outputting).
76	
77	6) s3c2410_gpio_getirq() should be directly replacable with the
78	   gpio_to_irq() call.
79	
80	The s3c2410_gpio and gpio_ calls have always operated on the same gpio
81	numberspace, so there is no problem with converting the gpio numbering
82	between the calls.
83	
84	
85	Headers
86	-------
87	
88	  See arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/include/mach/regs-gpio.h for the list
89	  of GPIO pins, and the configuration values for them. This
90	  is included by using #include <mach/regs-gpio.h>
91	
92	  The GPIO management functions are defined in the hardware
93	  header arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/include/mach/hardware.h which can be
94	  included by #include <mach/hardware.h>
95	
96	  A useful amount of documentation can be found in the hardware
97	  header on how the GPIO functions (and others) work.
98	
99	  Whilst a number of these functions do make some checks on what
100	  is passed to them, for speed of use, they may not always ensure
101	  that the user supplied data to them is correct.
102	
103	
104	PIN Numbers
105	-----------
106	
107	  Each pin has an unique number associated with it in regs-gpio.h,
108	  eg S3C2410_GPA(0) or S3C2410_GPF(1). These defines are used to tell
109	  the GPIO functions which pin is to be used.
110	
111	  With the conversion to gpiolib, there is no longer a direct conversion
112	  from gpio pin number to register base address as in earlier kernels. This
113	  is due to the number space required for newer SoCs where the later
114	  GPIOs are not contiguous.
115	
116	
117	Configuring a pin
118	-----------------
119	
120	  The following function allows the configuration of a given pin to
121	  be changed.
122	
123	    void s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin(unsigned int pin, unsigned int function);
124	
125	  Eg:
126	
127	     s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin(S3C2410_GPA(0), S3C2410_GPA0_ADDR0);
128	     s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin(S3C2410_GPE(8), S3C2410_GPE8_SDDAT1);
129	
130	   which would turn GPA(0) into the lowest Address line A0, and set
131	   GPE(8) to be connected to the SDIO/MMC controller's SDDAT1 line.
132	
133	   The s3c_gpio_cfgpin() call is a functional replacement for this call.
134	
135	
136	Reading the current configuration
137	---------------------------------
138	
139	  The current configuration of a pin can be read by using:
140	
141	  s3c2410_gpio_getcfg(unsigned int pin);
142	
143	  The return value will be from the same set of values which can be
144	  passed to s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin().
145	
146	  The s3c_gpio_getcfg() call should be a functional replacement for
147	  this call.
148	
149	
150	Configuring a pull-up resistor
151	------------------------------
152	
153	  A large proportion of the GPIO pins on the S3C2410 can have weak
154	  pull-up resistors enabled. This can be configured by the following
155	  function:
156	
157	    void s3c2410_gpio_pullup(unsigned int pin, unsigned int to);
158	
159	  Where the to value is zero to set the pull-up off, and 1 to enable
160	  the specified pull-up. Any other values are currently undefined.
161	
162	  The s3c_gpio_setpull() offers similar functionality, but with the
163	  ability to encode whether the pull is up or down. Currently there
164	  is no 'just on' state, so up or down must be selected.
165	
166	
167	Getting the state of a PIN
168	--------------------------
169	
170	  The state of a pin can be read by using the function:
171	
172	    unsigned int s3c2410_gpio_getpin(unsigned int pin);
173	
174	  This will return either zero or non-zero. Do not count on this
175	  function returning 1 if the pin is set.
176	
177	  This call is now implemented by the relevant gpiolib calls, convert
178	  your board or driver to use gpiolib.
179	
180	
181	Setting the state of a PIN
182	--------------------------
183	
184	  The value an pin is outputing can be modified by using the following:
185	
186	    void s3c2410_gpio_setpin(unsigned int pin, unsigned int to);
187	
188	  Which sets the given pin to the value. Use 0 to write 0, and 1 to
189	  set the output to 1.
190	
191	  This call is now implemented by the relevant gpiolib calls, convert
192	  your board or driver to use gpiolib.
193	
194	
195	Getting the IRQ number associated with a PIN
196	--------------------------------------------
197	
198	  The following function can map the given pin number to an IRQ
199	  number to pass to the IRQ system.
200	
201	   int s3c2410_gpio_getirq(unsigned int pin);
202	
203	  Note, not all pins have an IRQ.
204	
205	  This call is now implemented by the relevant gpiolib calls, convert
206	  your board or driver to use gpiolib.
