Summary

This function seems to be present in RK805 only (that is, not in RK808).
Rock64 uses those pins to control the on-board LEDs.

Caveat: led(9) uses the mutex to protect its state and the mutex is held
when modifying a led state. This driver uses the sx lock in gpio calls.
rk_i2c sleeps in I2C transfers. Both do not play well with the mutex.
The solution is to modify the led driver to use a sleepable lock to allow
for various LED communication mechanisms (I2C, USB, etc).
That would not be a straightforward change as the lock is used in
a callout.

I agree this is only applicable to the RK805. The patch works and provides access to the Rock64 LEDs (pin 0 is red and pin 1 is white, with the LED lit when the output is 0). On the downside, and as noted in the description, there is a LOR with led(9). I'm a bit concerned at adding known new LORs to the code. Are there any options for getting rid of the LOR other than redesigning led(9)?

I cannot think of any way.
rk_i2c needs to sleep to wait for an interrupt.
led(8) uses a non-sleepable mutex.

I think that led(9) better be redesigned to allow for various transports like I2C, USB, etc.
Simple I/O (like I/O ports or memory mapped) is not the only way to control LEDs.

(Sorry for the delay. I thought I'd responded). Then I withdraw my objections. The code itself looks good.
