From bf9346f5d47b4506aafbc384dfb5796b0adc3f8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Janusz Krzysztofik Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2018 23:50:06 +0200 Subject: gpiolib: Identify arrays matching GPIO hardware Certain GPIO array lookup results may map directly to GPIO pins of a single GPIO chip in hardware order. If that condition is recognized and handled efficiently, significant performance gain of get/set array functions may be possible. While processing a request for an array of GPIO descriptors, identify those which represent corresponding pins of a single GPIO chip. Skip over pins which require open source or open drain special processing. Moreover, identify pins which require inversion. Pass a pointer to that information with the array to the caller so it can benefit from enhanced performance as soon as get/set array functions can accept and make efficient use of it.
