The I2C GPIO bitbang driver currently emulates open drain
behaviour by implementing what the gpiolib already does:
not actively driving the line high, instead setting it to
input.
This makes no sense. Use the new facility in gpiolib to
request the lines enforced into open drain mode, and let
the open drain emulation already present in the gpiolib
kick in and handle this.
As a bonus: if the GPIO driver in the back-end actually
supports open drain in hardware using the .set_config()
callback, it will be utilized. That's correct: we never
used that hardware feature before, instead relying on
emulating open drain even if the GPIO controller could
actually handle this for us.
Users will sometimes get messages like this:
gpio-485 (?): enforced open drain please flag it properly
in DT/ACPI DSDT/board file
gpio-486 (?): enforced open drain please flag it properly
in DT/ACPI DSDT/board file
i2c-gpio gpio-i2c: using lines 485 (SDA) and 486 (SCL)
Which is completely proper: since the line is used as
open drain, it should actually be flagged properly with
e.g.
gpios = <&gpio0 5 (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH|GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN)>,
<&gpio0 6 (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH|GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN)>;
Or similar facilities in board file descriptor tables
or ACPI DSDT.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
