Subject: [PATCH] gpio: octeon: allocate the GPIO base dynamically
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 06:02:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027060221.2687941-1-orgads@gmail.com> (raw)
The driver registers its chip with base 0, which gpiolib reports on
every boot:
gpio gpiochip0: Static allocation of GPIO base is deprecated, use dynamic allocation.
Nothing needs the fixed numbers. The only in-tree consumers, the
gpio-leds nodes of the D-Link DSR boards, reference the controller by
phandle; the GPIO interrupts go through the octeon-irq domain; and no
board code uses the legacy integer API. Let gpiolib pick the base. Only
the chip's number in the deprecated sysfs interface changes.
Assisted-by: LLM

Tested on a CN6335 board, in a 7.3-based tree: the warning is gone and
the chip probes as before.
