[PATCH v3] gpiolib: fix hogs with multiple lines
Posted by Bartosz Golaszewski 1 week ago
After moving GPIO hog handling into GPIOLIB core, we accidentally stopped
supporting devicetree hog definitions with multiple lines like so:

	hog {
		gpio-hog;
		gpios = <3 0>, <4 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
		output-high;
		line-name = "foo";
	};

Restore this functionality to fix reported regressions.

Fixes: d1d564ec4992 ("gpio: move hogs into GPIO core")
Reported-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAMuHMdX6RuZXAozrF5m625ZepJTVVr4pcyKczSk12MedWvoejw@mail.gmail.com/
Tested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>

Changes in v3:
- Fix types for some variables
- Make the return value check for "#gpio-cells" property stricter
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260326-gpio-hogs-multiple-v2-1-7c3813460e4f@oss.qualcomm.com

Changes in v2:
- Use a default value of 2 for the number of GPIO cells
- Use kzalloc_objs() instead of kcalloc()
- Propagate the error number from fwnode_property_read_u32()
- Remove special cases forced by the lack of default cells value
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260325-gpio-hogs-multiple-v1-1-7e3a7347f0d6@oss.qualcomm.com
