Hi, guys

I am working on writing a gpio mockup driver(for test the gpio framework).
I found that in the lastest for-next branch of linux-gpio, the path of gpiochip
in device directory is changed from
`/sys/devices/platform/gpio-mockup/gpio/gpiochip*`
to
`/sys/devices/platform/gpio-mockup/gpiochip*/gpio`.

And secondly, the name of gpiochip in the devices directory is changed from
gpiochipBASE to gpiochipSEQ, e.g. there are two gpiochip([0,31],[32,63]) in my
device. It changed from
`/sys/devices/platform/gpio-mockup/gpio/gpiochip0`
`/sys/devices/platform/gpio-mockup/gpio/gpiochip32`
to
`/sys/devices/platform/gpio-mockup/gpiochip0/gpio`
`/sys/devices/platform/gpio-mockup/gpiochip1/gpio`

IIUC, this change may break the script which depend on it.
Is it intended to do it?

And it could be fix by reverting one line from commit 5031fbdf5365
("gpio: move sysfs mock device to the gpio_device").

Regards

Bamvor

No, I screwed up :(

It was impossible to extract this patch because of some
HTML formatting, but I rewrote the patch, adding some extra
comments and commit message, and applied. Check the result
in my devel branch.

I also have a bad conscience for not looking at you patches,
I've been swamped, sorry :(

Yours,
Linus Walleij

I test this patch in your devel branch. It works for me.
And I found that I could not boot qemu-system-aarch64 on your
devel branch. It works if I rebase those(105) patches to 4.5-rc4.
It is ok before 4.5 either.
Maybe there is some bug for support qemu in 4.5-rc1. But It is
not relative the patches of gpio in devel branch.

Glad to know I could help. I find other issue when I try to test
my gpio mockup driver base on the latest code.
I will start a new thread to discuss it.
