- gpio-charger: drivers/power/supply/gpio-charger.c is used if you need to do
battery charging and all you have to go by to check the presence of the
AC charger or more complex tasks such as indicating charging status using
nothing but GPIO lines, this driver provides that and also a clearly defined
way to pass the charging parameters from hardware descriptions such as the

Apart from this there are special GPIO drivers in subsystems like MMC/SD to
read card detect and write protect GPIO lines, and in the TTY serial subsystem
to emulate MCTRL (modem control) signals CTS/RTS by using two GPIO lines. The
