Devices sharing a reset GPIO could use the reset framework for
coordinated handling of that shared GPIO line. We have several cases of
such needs, at least for Devicetree-based platforms.
If Devicetree-based device requests a reset line, while "resets"
Devicetree property is missing but there is a "reset-gpios" one,
instantiate a new "reset-gpio" platform device which will handle such
reset line. This allows seamless handling of such shared reset-gpios
without need of changing Devicetree binding [1].
To avoid creating multiple "reset-gpio" platform devices, store the
Devicetree "reset-gpios" GPIO specifiers used for new devices on a
linked list. Later such Devicetree GPIO specifier (phandle to GPIO
controller, GPIO number and GPIO flags) is used to check if reset
controller for given GPIO was already registered.
If two devices have conflicting "reset-gpios" property, e.g. with
different ACTIVE_xxx flags, this would allow to spawn two separate
"reset-gpio" devices, where the second would fail probing on busy GPIO
request.
