[PATCH v5 07/23] Documentation: ACPI: move gpio-properties.txt to firmware-guide/acpi and convert to reST

Thu Apr 25 03:52:50 AEST 2019


This converts the plain text documentation to reStructuredText format and
add it to Sphinx TOC tree. No essential content change.

 Using the _CRS fallback

 If a device does not have _DSD or the driver does not create ACPI GPIO
 mapping, the Linux GPIO framework refuses to return any GPIOs. This is
 because the driver does not know what it actually gets. For example if we

 We may consider two different cases here, i.e. when connection ID is
 provided and otherwise.
 
-Case 1:
-	desc = gpiod_get(dev, "non-null-connection-id", flags);
