Linus W's expectation is that static ones are allocated at first, they should already be allocated when we start doing dynamic allocations so he was even thinking that we could have started at 0 already. But I can start higher if you think it is safer, maybe at 512 which is the default ARCH_NR_GPIOS today.

This part of the code depends on CONFIG_PINCTRL_SH_FUNC_GPIO, which is used only on SH.

In the process, gpio-adp5588.c was dropped. For the adp5589-keys.c driver, we might also need to do a similar work as I suspect there's no platform making use of pdata.

This is probably something we should do separately, but a lot of the drivers currently don't have support for probing from DT or any other firmware interface but rely on platform_data definitions from a board file that was never part of the upstream kernel. We are going to remove a lot more board files early next year, and I was hoping to follow up with a treewide cleanup of such drivers and remove a lot of them entirely. >> drivers/gpio/gpio-dwapb.c: port->gc.base = pp->gpio_base; // from DT, deprecated > > From board files, since some platforms expect a fixed number for it. >> drivers/gpio/gpio-pca953x.c: gc->base = chip->gpio_start; // ???? used a lot > > To answer this one needs to go via all board files (most of them ARM > 32-bit based) and look, but it means almost the same case as per Intel > above: 512-ngpios. Right, I went through all the board files the other drivers, this one just happens to be used more than the others: arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-da850-evm.c:#include <linux/platform_data/pca953x.h> arch/arm/mach-ep93xx/vision_ep9307.c:#include <linux/platform_data/pca953x.h> arch/arm/mach-mmp/ttc_dkb.c:#include <linux/platform_data/pca953x.h> arch/arm/mach-pxa/cm-x300.c:#include <linux/platform_data/pca953x.h> arch/arm/mach-pxa/spitz.c:#include <linux/platform_data/pca953x.h> arch/arm/mach-pxa/zeus.c:#include <linux/platform_data/pca953x.h> arch/arm/mach-pxa/zylonite_pxa300.c:#include <linux/platform_data/pca953x.h> arch/arm/mach-s3c/mach-crag6410.c:#include <linux/platform_data/pca953x.h> The only ones that have known users though are crag6410 and vision_ep9307, the other ones will be removed.

Yes, that seems to be the idea most of the pinctrl drivers. Arnd

Since commit 14e85c0e69d5 ("gpio: remove gpio_descs global array") there is no limitation on the number of GPIOs that can be allocated in the system since the allocation is fully dynamic. ARCH_NR_GPIOS is today only used in order to provide downwards gpiobase allocation from that value, while static allocation is performed upwards from 0. However that has the disadvantage of limiting the number of GPIOs that can be registered in the system. To overcome this limitation without requiring each and every platform to provide its 'best-guess' maximum number, rework the allocation to allocate upwards, allowing approx 2 millions of GPIOs. In order to still allow static allocation for legacy drivers, define GPIO_DYNAMIC_BASE with the value 256 as the start for dynamic allocation.
