    of/gpio: Kill of_gpio_chip and add members directly to gpio_chip · a19e3da5
    Anton Vorontsov authored
    The OF gpio infrastructure is great for describing GPIO connections within
    the device tree.  However, using a GPIO binding still requires changes to
    the gpio controller just to add an of_gpio structure.  In most cases, the
    gpio controller doesn't actually need any special support and the simple
    OF gpio mapping function is more than sufficient.  Additional, the current
    scheme of using of_gpio_chip requires a convoluted scheme to maintain
    1:1 mappings between of_gpio_chip and gpio_chip instances.
    
    If the struct of_gpio_chip data members were moved into struct gpio_chip,
    then it would simplify the processing of OF gpio bindings, and it would
    make it trivial to use device tree OF connections on existing gpiolib
    controller drivers.
    
    This patch eliminates the of_gpio_chip structure and moves the relevant
    fields into struct gpio_chip (conditional on CONFIG_OF_GPIO).  This move
    simplifies the existing code and prepares for adding automatic device tree
    support to existing drivers.
