Hi,

I'm trying to backport the simple-gpio module to toggle LEDS on the BF537. I've read the simple-gpio wiki page and did everything accordingly. However during boot up I get a kernel panic as in the attached file.

I have the /sys/class/simple-gpio/ directory, but nothing in it.  I used information from the following two threads.

you probably didnt update your board resources properly.  you need to declare the resources and add them to the resource list.

I didnt follow what you meant by resource list. I did the below. Am I missing out anything else?

In my stamp.c, I did the following:

static struct resource bfin_gpios_resources = {

    .start = 0,

    .end   = MAX_BLACKFIN_GPIOS - 1,

    .flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ,

};

static struct platform_device bfin_gpios_device = {

    .name = "simple-gpio",

    .id = -1,

    .num_resources = 1,

    .resource = &bfin_gpios_resources,

};

And in static platform_device *stamp_devices[] __initdata, I added

&bfin_gpios_resources

that should be it.  are you sure the panic is coming from simple-gpio and not something else ?

I'm sure thats the one. When &bfin_gpio_resources is commented out in __initdata, the panic goes away, but there is nothing under sys/class/simple-gpio.

Is there a kernel option I need to enable? Hotplugging is on. Thanks.
