Subject: [PATCH 02/10] [v3] input: gpio-keys: make legacy gpiolib optional

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 20:38:07 +0200

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email-masked]>

Most users of gpio-keys and gpio-keys-polled use modern gpiolib
interfaces, but there are still number of ancient sh, arm32 and x86
machines that have never been converted.

Add an #ifdef block for the parts of the driver that are only used on
those legacy machines.

The two Rohm PMIC drivers use a gpio-keys device without an actual GPIO,
passing an IRQ number instead. In order to keep this working both with
and with CONFIG_GPIOLIB_LEGACY, change the gpio-keys driver to ignore
the gpio number if an IRQ is passed.

v3: resend
v2: skip the fake GPIO number passing from mfd

The removal of the arm platforms using this is not yet going to happen
for 7.2, and Dmitry's changes for the Rohm drivers have not yet
made it into linux-next as of 2026-05-20, so for the moment I
would still like to see this patch get merged, even if we are
closing in on completely removing the legacy gpio support in
the gpio_keys driver, so we can make CONFIG_GPIOLIB_LEGACY
default-disabled sooner.
