This adds gpio and i2c support for the Nomadik evaluation kit. They are needed to turn on the LCD backlight in order to later add LCD support.
I have one doubt and some questions on gpio: To use soft_i2c I need to define some macros in the config file. Instead of writing hard numbers there I called the gpio functions, but the config file is inluded from asm sources as well. I don't think my approach is beautiful at all (both #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ and #include "../board/"), but I didn't find a better solution. I would like to add a gpio command, and I've found no generic gpio stuff. Only one board (cm-bf527) has a gpio commands, but quite a few have similar commands to set leds or other bits. Is time ripe for a generic gpio driver with board-specific limits and operations? Would that be interesting for u-boot-next? Should I process with a board-specific gpio command by now? /alessandro Alessandro Rubini (2): arm nomadik: add gpio support arm nomadik: add i2c board/st/nhk8815/Makefile | 2 +- board/st/nhk8815/gpio.c | 99 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ board/st/nhk8815/gpio.h | 42 ++++++++++++++++++ board/st/nhk8815/nhk8815.c | 16 ++++++- include/configs/nhk8815.h | 18 ++++++++- 5 files changed, 173 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 board/st/nhk8815/gpio.c create mode 100644 board/st/nhk8815/gpio.h _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
