+1. Blackfin GPIO introduction
+
+ There are many GPIO pins on Blackfin. Most of these pins are muxed to
+ multi-functions. They can be configured as peripheral, or just as GPIO,
+ configured to input with interrupt enabled, or output.
+
+ For detailed information, please see "arch/blackfin/kernel/bfin_gpio.c",
+ or the relevant HRM.
+
+
+2. Avoiding resource conflict
+
+ Followed function groups are used to avoiding resource conflict,
+ - Use the pin as peripheral,
+ int peripheral_request(unsigned short per, const char *label);
+ int peripheral_request_list(const unsigned short per[], const char *label);
+ void peripheral_free(unsigned short per);
+ void peripheral_free_list(const unsigned short per[]);
+ - Use the pin as GPIO,
+ int bfin_gpio_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label);
+ void bfin_gpio_free(unsigned gpio);
+ - Use the pin as GPIO interrupt,
+ int bfin_gpio_irq_request(unsigned gpio, const char *label);
+ void bfin_gpio_irq_free(unsigned gpio);
+
+ The request functions will record the function state for a certain pin,
+ the free functions will clear it's function state.
+ Once a pin is requested, it can't be requested again before it is freed by
+ previous caller, otherwise kernel will dump stacks, and the request
+ function fail.
+ These functions are wrapped by other functions, most of the users need not
+ care.
+
+
+3. But there are some exceptions
+ - Kernel permit the identical GPIO be requested both as GPIO and GPIO
+ interrut.
+ Some drivers, like gpio-keys, need this behavior. Kernel only print out
+ warning messages like,
+ bfin-gpio: GPIO 24 is already reserved by gpio-keys: BTN0, and you are
+configuring it as IRQ!
+
+ Note: Consider the case that, if there are two drivers need the
+ identical GPIO, one of them use it as GPIO, the other use it as
+ GPIO interrupt. This will really cause resource conflict. So if
+ there is any abnormal driver behavior, please check the bfin-gpio
+ warning messages.
+
+ - Kernel permit the identical GPIO be requested from the same driver twice.
