[REPOST RFC PATCH 1/3] of_gpio: Extend of_gpio_count() to support other property names

Wed Dec 14 05:23:32 EST 2011


The of_get_named_gpio_flags() function allows the caller to specify the
property name which should be read for a list of GPIOs.

Unfortunately there is no easy way to *count* the number of GPIOs listed
in an arbitrary property.

To resolve this, rename of_gpio_count() to of_gpio_count_named() and add
a new "propname" parameter.

Also add a static inline replacement for of_gpio_count() which calls
of_gpio_count_named() with "gpios" to avoid breaking existing users.
