Subject: [PATCH v6 0/8] RTL8231 GPIO expander support
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 16:23:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251021142407.307753-1-sander@svanheule.net> (raw)
The RTL8231 GPIO and LED expander can be configured for use as an MDIO
or SMI bus device. Currently only the MDIO mode is supported, although
SMI mode support should be fairly straightforward, once an SMI bus
driver is available.
Provided features by the RTL8231:
- Up to 37 GPIOs
- Configurable drive strength: 8mA or 4mA (currently unsupported)
- Input debouncing on GPIOs 31-36
- Up to 88 LEDs in multiple scan matrix groups
- On, off, or one of six toggling intervals
- "single-color mode": 2×36 single color LEDs + 8 bi-color LEDs
- "bi-color mode": (12 + 2×6) bi-color LEDs + 24 single color LEDs
- Up to one PWM output (currently unsupported)
- Fixed duty cycle, 8 selectable frequencies (1.2kHz - 4.8kHz)
The patches have been in use downstream by OpenWrt for some months. As
the original patches are already a few years old, I would like to request
all patches to be reviewed again (and I've dropped all provided tags and
changelogs).
