Hi,
We are working with a Rotary encoder from Grayhill (62A15-02-040C).
The SOM we are using is SMARC conga-SMX8-Mini based on iMX8M Mini.
The Rotary encoder is interfaced to GPIOs 9 and 10 for Channel A and Channel B respectively.
The device tree for the same goes as below which is in reference with the document Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/rotary-encoder.txt
rotary@0 {
compatible = "rotary-encoder";
gpios = <&gpio1 9 1>, <&gpio1 10 0>;
linux,axis = <0>; /* REL_X */
rotary-encoder,encoding = "gray";
rotary-encoder,relative-axis;
rotary-encoder,steps-per-period = <2>;
status = "okay";
};
We are using the generic rotary encoder driver available in the kernel (drivers/input/misc/rotary_encoder.c).
The driver probes successfully with device registration and interrupts allocation.
root@imx8mm-cgt-sx8m: cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
gpiochip0: GPIOs 0-31, parent: platform/30200000.gpio, 30200000.gpio:
gpio-1 ( |bkl pwm ) out hi
gpio-8 ( |enable ) out hi
gpio-9 ( |rotary@0 ) in lo IRQ ACTIVE LOW
gpio-10 ( |rotary@0 ) in lo IRQ
gpio-12 ( |regulator-usb ) out lo
And the interrupts being:

When tested with evtest tool no events are reported.

Properties:
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
The issue is from the rotary_encoder.c driver none of the interrupt handlers like rotary_encoder_irq, rotary_encoder_half_period_irq.. are called.
Is there anything else to be done for the rotary encoder to work? On the hardware we checked for the pulses when encoder is rotated.
Please provide leads since the issue is hindering our further development.
