Greetings,
This series addresses a limitation in the I2C bus recovery mechanism
where certain open-drain GPIOs are incorrectly identified as
input-only, preventing the recovery logic from functioning.
Following the suggestion from Linus Walleij, this version drops the
previously proposed "force-set-sda" DT property. Instead, it
introduces a generic helper in the GPIO subsystem to identify
single-ended configurations. This allows the I2C core to reliably
enable recovery for open-drain lines regardless of the
instantaneous hardware direction reporting.
As suggested by Wolfram, this series should go via the GPIO tree,
since patch 2/2 depends on the new gpiolib helper introduced in
patch 1/2.
Changes in v4:
- Patch 2:
- Use GPIO_LINE_DIRECTION_OUT instead of the literal '0' when
checking the return value of gpiod_get_direction(), and drop
the now-obsolete FIXME comment (suggested by Wolfram Sang).
- Added Acked-by: Wolfram Sang.
Changes in v3:
- Patch 1:
- Changed return type of gpiod_is_single_ended() from int to bool.
- Updated return values from 0/1 to false/true.
- Added Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij.
- Patch 2:
- Added Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij.
Changes in v2:
- Replaced DT-based "force-set-sda" with a gpiolib helper.
- Added gpiod_is_single_ended() to drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c.
- Updated i2c-core-base.c to use the new helper.
