Linux kernel patch for gpiod_get_direction() support in gpio-omap driver

Craig McQueen

I found that gpiod_get_direction() doesn't work for GPIO on the BeagleBone Black.

I have made a patch to add support for it in the ti-linux-3.14.y branch of the ti-linux-kernel repository. How can I submit this patch to be added to the ti-linux-kernel git repository?

Hi Craig,

If you are registered to git.ti.com you can try submitting your patch there. For furthere assistance with git.ti.com you could write an email to the contact list pointed here: http://git.ti.com/contact

You can also register in any of the community git repositories: omapzoom, github, etc.. and upload your patch there.

Best Regards,
Yordan

I tried registering to git.ti.com, but didn't receive the e-mail to complete the registration. I tried e-mailing the contact address listed at http://git.ti.com/contactbut that e-mail bounced saying it was "not sent to the list subscribers because you do not have permission to send messages to this mailing list." (maybe because I'm not at TI).

I'd be happy to use github, though I don't know the repository to use.

Hi Craig,

Please find bellow the answer I was able to get:

"They should send the patches to the Linux community for review and cc the linux-omap mail list.

Our 3.12 development is closed. And we are not taking any new features on 3.14. "

I guess you should submit your patch to the linux community repositories, i.e. kernel.org (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/), so that it can be reviewed by the community and added to the mainline.

Best Regards,
Yordan

I have now registered to git.ti.com, branched the ti-linux-kernel, and added the commit in a branch. I then tried to click "Request merge", and got a Gitorious message:

This Git object is too large to be displayed in the browser
Consider cloning the repository locally and look at the object there

Well, that kills contributions.
