Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: gpib: simplify and fix get_data_lines
Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2025 13:38:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250827113858.17265-1-osama.abdelkader@gmail.com> (raw)

The function `get_data_lines()` in gpib_bitbang.c currently reads 8
GPIO descriptors individually and combines them into a byte.
This has two issues:

  * `gpiod_get_value()` returns an `int` which may be negative on
    error. Assigning it directly into a `u8` may propagate unexpected
    values. Masking ensures only the LSB is used.
  * The code is repetitive and harder to extend.

Fix this by introducing a local array of GPIO descriptors and looping
over them, while masking the return value to its least significant bit.

This reduces duplication, makes the code more maintainable, and avoids
possible data corruption from negative `gpiod_get_value()` returns.

v2:
Just print the gpio pin error and leave the bit as zero
