x86-power-control question: front panel buttons dont work

[Nikita Pavlov]

Hi Jason, 
Front panel stop working from there until the next reboot even after stopping gpioset.
I test it with getting POWER_OUT line value and then released line like this:
#include <gpiod.hpp>
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char** argv){    gpiod::line line = gpiod::find_line("POWER_OUT");    if (!line)    {        std::cerr << "find line error\n";        return -1;    }
    try    {        line.request({"pwr", gpiod::line_request::EVENT_BOTH_EDGES, {}});    }    catch (const std::exception& ec)    {        std::cerr << ec.what();    }
    int state = line.get_value();    std::cout << state << '\n';    line.release();
    return 0;}

But front panel button also doesnt work with getting value.

Could you please share what is your BMC hardware version?

The pass-through is set up as a mux in pinctrl.  If I remember 
correctly, the output pin has GPIO output and pass-through mode as two 
different options in the pinctrl mux.

So, when you request the output pin using libgpiod, it automatically 
configures the pinctrl to disable the pass-through. You should be able 
to re-enable pass-through by simply releasing control of the output pin 
in libgpiod.

For simplicity, let's work with just the gpioset utility and not use 
x86-power-control.  So, when you initially boot, the pass-through is 
working. You then use gpioset to change the output pin (which will 
switch the pinctrl mux and disable pass-through mode causing the front 
panel to stop working). When you stop gpioset, it should release the 
gpio and switch the mux back to enable pass-through mode for the front 
panel to work again.

In your test does the front panel start working again after stopping 
gpioset? Or does the front panel stop working from there until the next 
reboot even after stopping gpioset?

Thanks,
-Jason
