33 All the functions that work with the descriptor-based GPIO interface are
43 With the descriptor-based interface, GPIOs are identified with an opaque,
44 non-forgeable handler that must be obtained through a call to one of the

62 The flags parameter is used to optionally specify a direction and initial value
67 * GPIOD_IN to initialize the GPIO as input.
68 * GPIOD_OUT_LOW to initialize the GPIO as output with a value of 0.
69 * GPIOD_OUT_HIGH to initialize the GPIO as output with a value of 1.
70 * GPIOD_OUT_LOW_OPEN_DRAIN same as GPIOD_OUT_LOW but also enforce the line
72 * GPIOD_OUT_HIGH_OPEN_DRAIN same as GPIOD_OUT_HIGH but also enforce the line
79 The two last flags are used for use cases where open drain is mandatory, such
80 as I2C: if the line is not already configured as open drain in the mappings
85 with IS_ERR() (they will never return a NULL pointer). -ENOENT will be returned
92 instead of -ENOENT if no GPIO has been assigned to the requested function::

409 values are stored in value_array rather than passed back as return value.
413 --------------------
414 GPIO lines can quite often be used as IRQs. You can get the IRQ number
420 done (most likely because that particular GPIO cannot be used as IRQ). It is an
421 unchecked error to use a GPIO that wasn't set up as an input using
425 Non-error values returned from gpiod_to_irq() can be passed to request_irq() or
427 by the board-specific initialization code. Note that IRQ trigger options are

461 The GPIO number returned by desc_to_gpio() can safely be used as a parameter of
462 the gpio\_*() functions for as long as the GPIO descriptor `desc` is not freed.
