It's a bit ironic that you've chosen GPIO as an example there. The "new" GPIO API (the gpiod_* stuff) only has a fwnode way to get the gpio descriptor. There's no of_* method. I'd like to use the gpiod_* stuff, but I feel that my options are rather limited: either use fwnode_get_named_gpiod() with &dev->of_node->fwnode, which seems like a hack by going underneath the covers of how fwnode is (partially) implemented with DT, or by using of_get_named_gpio() and the converting the gpio number to a descriptor via gpio_to_desc(). Both feel very hacky. If ACPI already handles GPIOs internally, then I'm left wondering why GPIO descriptor stuff went down the fwnode route at all - it seems rather pointless in this case, and it seems to make the use of the gpiod* interfaces where we _do_ need to use it (DT) harder and more hacky. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
