[PATCH v3 2/4] gpiolib: Add ability to get GPIO pin direction

From: Peter Tyser
Date: Thu Feb 17 2011 - 18:04:19 EST


Add a new get_direction() function to the gpio_chip structure. This is
useful so that the direction of a pin can be determined when its
initially exported. Previously, the direction defaulted to "unknown"
regardless of the actual configuration of the GPIO pin.

If a GPIO driver implements get_direction(), it is called in
gpio_request() to set the initial direction of the pin accurately.

Changes since v1:
- Add support for "unknown" direction

Changes since v2:
Based on Wolfram's feedback:
- Use GPIOF_DIR_* flags as returns from get_direction()
- Call spin_lock_irqsave() to before setting flags
