ARM: SAMSUNG: Documentation: add documentation on GPIO code
Add some documentation in Documentation/arm/Samsung for the GPIO code and where to look for the necessary functions. Update the S3C24XX case as well. Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org>

Samsung GPIO implementation
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
This outlines the Samsung GPIO implementation and the architecture
|
||||
specfic calls provided alongisde the drivers/gpio core.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
S3C24XX (Legacy)
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/GPIO.txt for more information
|
||||
about these devices. Their implementation is being brought into line
|
||||
with the core samsung implementation described in this document.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
GPIOLIB integration
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The gpio implementation uses gpiolib as much as possible, only providing
|
||||
specific calls for the items that require Samsung specific handling, such
|
||||
as pin special-function or pull resistor control.
|
||||
|
||||
GPIO numbering is synchronised between the Samsung and gpiolib system.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
PIN configuration
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Pin configuration is specific to the Samsung architecutre, with each SoC
|
||||
registering the necessary information for the core gpio configuration
|
||||
implementation to configure pins as necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
The s3c_gpio_cfgpin() and s3c_gpio_setpull() provide the means for a
|
||||
driver or machine to change gpio configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
See arch/arm/plat-samsung/include/plat/gpio-cfg.h for more information
|
||||
on these functions.
