2 # GPIO infrastructure and expanders
5 config ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB
8 Select this config option from the architecture Kconfig, if
9 it is possible to use gpiolib on the architecture, but let the
10 user decide whether to actually build it or not.
11 Select this instead of ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB, if your architecture does
12 not depend on GPIOs being available, but rather let the user
13 decide whether he needs it or not.
15 config ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB
19 Platforms select gpiolib if they use this infrastructure
20 for all their GPIOs, usually starting with ones integrated
22 Selecting this from the architecture code will cause the gpiolib
23 code to always get built in.
29 depends on ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB || ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB
32 This enables GPIO support through the generic GPIO library.
33 You only need to enable this, if you also want to enable
34 one or more of the GPIO expansion card drivers below.
41 bool "Debug GPIO calls"
42 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
44 Say Y here to add some extra checks and diagnostics to GPIO calls.
45 The checks help ensure that GPIOs have been properly initialized
46 before they are used and that sleeping calls aren not made from
47 nonsleeping contexts. They can make bitbanged serial protocols
48 slower. The diagnostics help catch the type of setup errors
49 that are most common when setting up new platforms or boards.
52 bool "/sys/class/gpio/... (sysfs interface)"
53 depends on SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
55 Say Y here to add a sysfs interface for GPIOs.
57 This is mostly useful to work around omissions in a system's
58 kernel support. Those are common in custom and semicustom
59 hardware assembled using standard kernels with a minimum of
60 custom patches. In those cases, userspace code may import
61 a given GPIO from the kernel, if no kernel driver requested it.
63 Kernel drivers may also request that a particular GPIO be
64 exported to userspace; this can be useful when debugging.

68 comment "I2C GPIO expanders:"
71 tristate "MAX7319, MAX7320-7327 I2C Port Expanders"
74 Say yes here to support the MAX7319, MAX7320-7327 series of I2C
75 Port Expanders. Each IO port on these chips has a fixed role of
76 Input (designated by 'I'), Push-Pull Output ('O'), or Open-Drain
77 Input and Output (designed by 'P'). The combinations are listed
80 8 bits: max7319 (8I), max7320 (8O), max7321 (8P),
81 max7322 (4I4O), max7323 (4P4O)
83 16 bits: max7324 (8I8O), max7325 (8P8O),
84 max7326 (4I12O), max7327 (4P12O)
86 Board setup code must specify the model to use, and the start
87 number for these GPIOs.
90 tristate "PCA953x, PCA955x, and MAX7310 I/O ports"
93 Say yes here to provide access to several register-oriented
94 SMBus I/O expanders, made mostly by NXP or TI. Compatible
97 4 bits: pca9536, pca9537
99 8 bits: max7310, pca9534, pca9538, pca9554, pca9557
101 16 bits: pca9535, pca9539, pca9555
103 This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
104 will be called pca953x.
107 tristate "PCF857x, PCA{85,96}7x, and MAX732[89] I2C GPIO expanders"
110 Say yes here to provide access to most "quasi-bidirectional" I2C
111 GPIO expanders used for additional digital outputs or inputs.
112 Most of these parts are from NXP, though TI is a second source for
113 some of them. Compatible models include:
115 8 bits: pcf8574, pcf8574a, pca8574, pca8574a,
116 pca9670, pca9672, pca9674, pca9674a,
119 16 bits: pcf8575, pcf8575c, pca8575,
120 pca9671, pca9673, pca9675
122 Your board setup code will need to declare the expanders in
123 use, and assign numbers to the GPIOs they expose. Those GPIOs
124 can then be used from drivers and other kernel code, just like
125 other GPIOs, but only accessible from task contexts.
127 This driver provides an in-kernel interface to those GPIOs using
128 platform-neutral GPIO calls.
131 tristate "TWL4030, TWL5030, and TPS659x0 GPIOs"
132 depends on TWL4030_CORE
134 Say yes here to access the GPIO signals of various multi-function
135 power management chips from Texas Instruments.
137 comment "PCI GPIO expanders:"
140 tristate "BT8XX GPIO abuser"
141 depends on PCI && VIDEO_BT848=n
143 The BT8xx frame grabber chip has 24 GPIO pins than can be abused
144 as a cheap PCI GPIO card.
146 This chip can be found on Miro, Hauppauge and STB TV-cards.
148 The card needs to be physically altered for using it as a
149 GPIO card. For more information on how to build a GPIO card
150 from a BT8xx TV card, see the documentation file at
151 Documentation/bt8xxgpio.txt
155 comment "SPI GPIO expanders:"
158 tristate "Maxim MAX7301 GPIO expander"
159 depends on SPI_MASTER
161 gpio driver for Maxim MAX7301 SPI GPIO expander.
164 tristate "Microchip MCP23S08 I/O expander"
165 depends on SPI_MASTER
167 SPI driver for Microchip MCP23S08 I/O expander. This provides
168 a GPIO interface supporting inputs and outputs.
