gpio_request Fails in linux 4.14.98

[yashavantha_yas]

Hi, 

I am using Linux 4.14.98 Ga release source.

Here when I tried to requets a gpio in 'arch/arm/mach-imx/mach-imx6q.c', it fails with EPROBE_DEFER (517) error.

But able to export same gpio using SYSFS using "echo * > /sys/class/gpio/export" command.

Why it is not able to access it in mach-imx6q.c file? is there any driver dependency?

Best Regards,

Yashavantha

Hi Yashavantha

one can try to add #include <linux/gpio.h>

Hi Igor,

Thank you for the reply.

I have already included above file.

Also gpio request works fine if the same section is added in 'drivers/gpio/gpio-mxc.c' file.

Hi Yashavantha

one can try to debug it using AN4553 Using Open Source Debugging Tools

for Linux on i.MX Processors
