2012-04-20Extcon: support mutually exclusive relation between cables.MyungJoo Ham
There could be cables that t recannot be attaches simulatenously. Extcon device drivers may express such information via mutually_exclusive in struct extcon_dev. For example, for an extcon device with 16 cables (bits 0 to 15 are available), if mutually_exclusive = { 0x7, 0xC0, 0x81, 0 }, then, the following attachments are prohibitted. {0, 1} {0, 2} {1, 2} {6, 7} {0, 7} and every attachment set that are superset of one of the above. For the detail, please refer to linux/include/linux/extcon.h.

2012-04-20Extcon: support multiple states at a device.MyungJoo Ham
One switch device (e.g., MUIC(MAX8997, MAX77686, ...), and some 30-pin devices) may have multiple cables attached. For example, one 30-pin port may inhabit a USB cable, an HDMI cable, and a mic. Thus, one switch device requires multiple state bits each representing a type of cable. For such purpose, we use the 32bit state variable; thus, up to 32 different type of cables may be defined for a switch device. The list of possible cables is defined by the array of cable names in the switch_dev struct given to the class.

2012-04-20Extcon (external connector): import Android's switch class and modify.MyungJoo Ham
External connector class (extcon) is based on and an extension of Android kernel's switch class located at linux/drivers/switch/. This patch provides the before-extension switch class moved to the location where the extcon will be located (linux/drivers/extcon/) and updates to handle class properly. The before-extension class, switch class of Android kernel, commits imported are: switch: switch class and GPIO drivers. (splitted) Author: Mike Lockwood <lockwood@android.com> switch: Use device_create instead of device_create_drvdata. Author: Arve Hjønnevåg <arve@android.com> In this patch, upon the commits of Android kernel, we have added: - Relocated and renamed for extcon. - Comments, module name, and author information are updated - Code clean for successing patches - Bugfix: enabling write access without write functions - Class/device/sysfs create/remove handling - Added comments about uevents - Format changes for extcon_dev_register() to have a parent dev. Signed-off-by: MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Kyungmin Park <kyungmin.park@samsung.com> Reviewed-by: Mark Brown <broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com> -- Changes from v7 - Compiler error fixed when it is compiled as a module. - Removed out-of-date Kconfig entry Changes from v6 - Updated comment/strings - Revised "Android-compatible" mode. * Automatically activated if CONFIG_ANDROID && !CONFIG_ANDROID_SWITCH * Creates /sys/class/switch/*, which is a copy of /sys/class/extcon/* Changes from v5 - Split the patch - Style fixes - "Android-compatible" mode is enabled by Kconfig option. Changes from v2 - Updated name_show - Sysfs entries are handled by class itself. - Updated the method to add/remove devices for the class - Comments on uevent send - Able to become a module - Compatible with Android platform Changes from RFC - Renamed to extcon (external connector) from multistate switch - Added a seperated directory (drivers/extcon) - Added kerneldoc comments - Removed unused variables from extcon_gpio.c - Added ABI Documentation.
