+GPIO Mappings
+=============
+
+This document explains how GPIOs can be assigned to given devices and functions.
+
+Note that it only applies to the new descriptor-based interface. For a
+description of the deprecated integer-based GPIO interface please refer to
+gpio-legacy.txt (actually, there is no real mapping possible with the old
+interface; you just fetch an integer from somewhere and request the
+corresponding GPIO).
+
+All platforms can enable the GPIO library, but if the platform strictly
+requires GPIO functionality to be present, it needs to select GPIOLIB from its
+Kconfig. Then, how GPIOs are mapped depends on what the platform uses to
+describe its hardware layout. Currently, mappings can be defined through device
+tree, ACPI, and platform data.
+
+Device Tree
+-----------
+GPIOs can easily be mapped to devices and functions in the device tree. The
+exact way to do it depends on the GPIO controller providing the GPIOs, see the
+device tree bindings for your controller.
+
+GPIOs mappings are defined in the consumer device's node, in a property named
+<function>-gpios, where <function> is the function the driver will request
+through gpiod_get(). For example::
+
+	foo_device {
+		compatible = "acme,foo";
+		...
+		led-gpios = <&gpio 15 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, /* red */
+			    <&gpio 16 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, /* green */
+			    <&gpio 17 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* blue */
+
+		power-gpios = <&gpio 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+	};
+
+Properties named <function>-gpio are also considered valid and old bindings use
+it but are only supported for compatibility reasons and should not be used for
+newer bindings since it has been deprecated.
+
+This property will make GPIOs 15, 16 and 17 available to the driver under the
+"led" function, and GPIO 1 as the "power" GPIO::
+
+	struct gpio_desc *red, *green, *blue, *power;
+
+	red = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 0, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
+	green = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 1, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
+	blue = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 2, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
+
+	power = gpiod_get(dev, "power", GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
+
+The led GPIOs will be active high, while the power GPIO will be active low (i.e.
+gpiod_is_active_low(power) will be true).
+
+The second parameter of the gpiod_get() functions, the con_id string, has to be
+the <function>-prefix of the GPIO suffixes ("gpios" or "gpio", automatically
+looked up by the gpiod functions internally) used in the device tree. With above
+"led-gpios" example, use the prefix without the "-" as con_id parameter: "led".
+
+Internally, the GPIO subsystem prefixes the GPIO suffix ("gpios" or "gpio")
+with the string passed in con_id to get the resulting string
+(``snprintf(... "%s-%s", con_id, gpio_suffixes[]``).
+
+ACPI
+----
+ACPI also supports function names for GPIOs in a similar fashion to DT.
+The above DT example can be converted to an equivalent ACPI description
+with the help of _DSD (Device Specific Data), introduced in ACPI 5.1::
+
+	Device (FOO) {
+		Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () {
+			GpioIo (Exclusive, ..., IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
+				"\\_SB.GPI0") {15} // red
+			GpioIo (Exclusive, ..., IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
+				"\\_SB.GPI0") {16} // green
+			GpioIo (Exclusive, ..., IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
+				"\\_SB.GPI0") {17} // blue
+			GpioIo (Exclusive, ..., IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
+				"\\_SB.GPI0") {1} // power
+		})
+
+		Name (_DSD, Package () {
+			ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+			Package () {
+				Package () {
+					"led-gpios",
+					Package () {
+						^FOO, 0, 0, 1,
+						^FOO, 1, 0, 1,
+						^FOO, 2, 0, 1,
+					}
+				},
+				Package () {
+					"power-gpios",
+					Package () {^FOO, 3, 0, 0},
+				},
+			}
+		})
+	}
+
+For more information about the ACPI GPIO bindings see
+Documentation/acpi/gpio-properties.txt.
+
+Platform Data
+-------------
+Finally, GPIOs can be bound to devices and functions using platform data. Board
+files that desire to do so need to include the following header::
+
+	#include <linux/gpio/machine.h>
+
+GPIOs are mapped by the means of tables of lookups, containing instances of the
+gpiod_lookup structure. Two macros are defined to help declaring such mappings::
+
+	GPIO_LOOKUP(chip_label, chip_hwnum, con_id, flags)
+	GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX(chip_label, chip_hwnum, con_id, idx, flags)
+
+where
+
+  - chip_label is the label of the gpiod_chip instance providing the GPIO
+  - chip_hwnum is the hardware number of the GPIO within the chip
+  - con_id is the name of the GPIO function from the device point of view. It
+	can be NULL, in which case it will match any function.
+  - idx is the index of the GPIO within the function.
+  - flags is defined to specify the following properties:
+	* GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH	- GPIO line is active high
+	* GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW	- GPIO line is active low
+	* GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN	- GPIO line is set up as open drain
+	* GPIO_OPEN_SOURCE	- GPIO line is set up as open source
+	* GPIO_PERSISTENT	- GPIO line is persistent during
+				  suspend/resume and maintains its value
+	* GPIO_TRANSITORY	- GPIO line is transitory and may loose its
+				  electrical state during suspend/resume
+
+In the future, these flags might be extended to support more properties.
+
+Note that GPIO_LOOKUP() is just a shortcut to GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX() where idx = 0.
+
+A lookup table can then be defined as follows, with an empty entry defining its
+end. The 'dev_id' field of the table is the identifier of the device that will
+make use of these GPIOs. It can be NULL, in which case it will be matched for
+calls to gpiod_get() with a NULL device.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+        struct gpiod_lookup_table gpios_table = {
+                .dev_id = "foo.0",
+                .table = {
+                        GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 15, "led", 0, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH),
+                        GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 16, "led", 1, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH),
+                        GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 17, "led", 2, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH),
+                        GPIO_LOOKUP("gpio.0", 1, "power", GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW),
+                        { },
+                },
+        };
+
+And the table can be added by the board code as follows::
+
+	gpiod_add_lookup_table(&gpios_table);
+
+The driver controlling "foo.0" will then be able to obtain its GPIOs as follows::
+
+	struct gpio_desc *red, *green, *blue, *power;
+
+	red = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 0, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
+	green = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 1, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
+	blue = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 2, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
+
+	power = gpiod_get(dev, "power", GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);
+
+Since the "led" GPIOs are mapped as active-high, this example will switch their
+signals to 1, i.e. enabling the LEDs. And for the "power" GPIO, which is mapped
+as active-low, its actual signal will be 0 after this code. Contrary to the
+legacy integer GPIO interface, the active-low property is handled during
+mapping and is thus transparent to GPIO consumers.
+
+A set of functions such as gpiod_set_value() is available to work with
+the new descriptor-oriented interface.
