1			S3C2410 GPIO Control
2			====================

4Introduction
5------------
6
7  The s3c2410 kernel provides an interface to configure and
8  manipulate the state of the GPIO pins, and find out other
9  information about them.
10
11  There are a number of conditions attached to the configuration
12  of the s3c2410 GPIO system, please read the Samsung provided
13  data-sheet/users manual to find out the complete list.
14
15  See Documentation/arm/Samsung/GPIO.txt for the core implemetation.

18GPIOLIB
19-------
20
21  With the event of the GPIOLIB in drivers/gpio, support for some
22  of the GPIO functions such as reading and writing a pin will
23  be removed in favour of this common access method.
24
25  Once all the extant drivers have been converted, the functions
26  listed below will be removed (they may be marked as __deprecated
27  in the near future).
28
29  The following functions now either have a s3c_ specific variant
30  or are merged into gpiolib. See the definitions in
31  arch/arm/plat-samsung/include/plat/gpio-cfg.h:
32
33  s3c2410_gpio_setpin()		gpio_set_value() or gpio_direction_output()
34  s3c2410_gpio_getpin()		gpio_get_value() or gpio_direction_input()
35  s3c2410_gpio_getirq()		gpio_to_irq()
36  s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin()		s3c_gpio_cfgpin()
37  s3c2410_gpio_getcfg()		s3c_gpio_getcfg()
38  s3c2410_gpio_pullup()		s3c_gpio_setpull()

41GPIOLIB conversion
42------------------
43
44If you need to convert your board or driver to use gpiolib from the exiting
45s3c2410 api, then here are some notes on the process.
46
471) If your board is exclusively using an GPIO, say to control peripheral
48   power, then it will require to claim the gpio with gpio_request() before
49   it can use it.
50
51   It is recommended to check the return value, with at least WARN_ON()
52   during initialisation.
53
542) The s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin() can be directly replaced with s3c_gpio_cfgpin()
55   as they have the same arguments, and can either take the pin specific
56   values, or the more generic special-function-number arguments.
57
583) s3c2410_gpio_pullup() changs have the problem that whilst the 
59   s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 1) can be easily translated to the
60   s3c_gpio_setpull(x, S3C_GPIO_PULL_NONE), the s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 0)
61   are not so easy.
62
63   The s3c2410_gpio_pullup(x, 0) case enables the pull-up (or in the case
64   of some of the devices, a pull-down) and as such the new API distinguishes
65   between the UP and DOWN case. There is currently no 'just turn on' setting
66   which may be required if this becomes a problem.
67
684) s3c2410_gpio_setpin() can be replaced by gpio_set_value(), the old call
69   does not implicitly configure the relevant gpio to output. The gpio
70   direction should be changed before using gpio_set_value().
71
725) s3c2410_gpio_getpin() is replaceable by gpio_get_value() if the pin
73   has been set to input. It is currently unknown what the behaviour is
74   when using gpio_get_value() on an output pin (s3c2410_gpio_getpin
75   would return the value the pin is supposed to be outputting).
76
776) s3c2410_gpio_getirq() should be directly replacable with the
78   gpio_to_irq() call.
79
80The s3c2410_gpio and gpio_ calls have always operated on the same gpio
81numberspace, so there is no problem with converting the gpio numbering
82between the calls.
83
84
85Headers
86-------
87
88  See arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/include/mach/regs-gpio.h for the list
89  of GPIO pins, and the configuration values for them. This
90  is included by using #include <mach/regs-gpio.h>
91
92  The GPIO management functions are defined in the hardware
93  header arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/include/mach/hardware.h which can be
94  included by #include <mach/hardware.h>
95
96  A useful amount of documentation can be found in the hardware
97  header on how the GPIO functions (and others) work.
98
99  Whilst a number of these functions do make some checks on what
100  is passed to them, for speed of use, they may not always ensure
101  that the user supplied data to them is correct.
102
103
104PIN Numbers
105-----------
106
107  Each pin has an unique number associated with it in regs-gpio.h,
108  eg S3C2410_GPA(0) or S3C2410_GPF(1). These defines are used to tell
109  the GPIO functions which pin is to be used.
110
111  With the conversion to gpiolib, there is no longer a direct conversion
112  from gpio pin number to register base address as in earlier kernels. This
113  is due to the number space required for newer SoCs where the later
114  GPIOs are not contiguous.
115
116
117Configuring a pin
118-----------------
119
120  The following function allows the configuration of a given pin to
121  be changed.
122
123    void s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin(unsigned int pin, unsigned int function);
124
125  Eg:
126
127     s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin(S3C2410_GPA(0), S3C2410_GPA0_ADDR0);
128     s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin(S3C2410_GPE(8), S3C2410_GPE8_SDDAT1);
129
130   which would turn GPA(0) into the lowest Address line A0, and set
131   GPE(8) to be connected to the SDIO/MMC controller's SDDAT1 line.
132
133   The s3c_gpio_cfgpin() call is a functional replacement for this call.
134
135
136Reading the current configuration
137---------------------------------
138
139  The current configuration of a pin can be read by using:
140
141  s3c2410_gpio_getcfg(unsigned int pin);
142
143  The return value will be from the same set of values which can be
144  passed to s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin().
145
146  The s3c_gpio_getcfg() call should be a functional replacement for
147  this call.
148
149
150Configuring a pull-up resistor
151------------------------------
152
153  A large proportion of the GPIO pins on the S3C2410 can have weak
154  pull-up resistors enabled. This can be configured by the following
155  function:
156
157    void s3c2410_gpio_pullup(unsigned int pin, unsigned int to);
158
159  Where the to value is zero to set the pull-up off, and 1 to enable
160  the specified pull-up. Any other values are currently undefined.
161
162  The s3c_gpio_setpull() offers similar functionality, but with the
163  ability to encode whether the pull is up or down. Currently there
164  is no 'just on' state, so up or down must be selected.
165
166
167Getting the state of a PIN
168--------------------------
169
170  The state of a pin can be read by using the function:
171
172    unsigned int s3c2410_gpio_getpin(unsigned int pin);
173
174  This will return either zero or non-zero. Do not count on this
175  function returning 1 if the pin is set.
176
177  This call is now implemented by the relevant gpiolib calls, convert
178  your board or driver to use gpiolib.
179
180
181Setting the state of a PIN
182--------------------------
183
184  The value an pin is outputing can be modified by using the following:
185
186    void s3c2410_gpio_setpin(unsigned int pin, unsigned int to);
187
188  Which sets the given pin to the value. Use 0 to write 0, and 1 to
189  set the output to 1.
190
191  This call is now implemented by the relevant gpiolib calls, convert
192  your board or driver to use gpiolib.
193
194
195Getting the IRQ number associated with a PIN
196--------------------------------------------
197
198  The following function can map the given pin number to an IRQ
199  number to pass to the IRQ system.
200
201   int s3c2410_gpio_getirq(unsigned int pin);
202
203  Note, not all pins have an IRQ.
204
205  This call is now implemented by the relevant gpiolib calls, convert
206  your board or driver to use gpiolib.
