driver/ioexpander: Add gpio_pin_unregister function to GPIO driver
driver/ioexpander: Add pinset struct to GPIO driver for interrupt pins larger than 64
driver/ioexpander: Initialize pintype/inttype when registering ioexpander device
driver/ioexpander: Add SETPINTYPE ioctl command to the GPIO driver
The same interrupt handler is entered with the device structure parameter in all situations,
multiple or single PCA. One should still be careful if multiple PCA devices share the same IRQ.
PCA9555 Driver: Replace the signalling logic with a simple callback using the new definitons of ioexpander.h. This repartitioning of functionality is necessary because (1) the I/O expander driver is the lower-lower part of any driver that uses GPIOs (include the GPIO driver itself) and should not be interacting directly with the much higher level application layer. And (2) in order to be compatible with the GPIO driver (and any arbitrary upper half driver), the PCA9555 should not directly signal, but should call back into the upper half. The upper half driver that interacts directly with the application is the appropriate place to be generating signal.
are held in the microcontrollers memory and only written to the IO-Expander.
This reduces bus traffic and is more error-proof than the normal read-
modify-write operation.
Retry Mode: If enabled and an error occurs while writing to the IO-Expander the
current transmission is automatically repeated once.
