Linux kernel source tree
203a83112e
This generic pin config property is confusingly named so let's rename it to make things clearer. There are already drivers in the tree that use PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT to *read* the value of an output driven pin, which is a big semantic confusion for the head: are we then reading the setting of the output or the actual value/level that is put out on the pin? We already have PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_ENABLE that turns on driver buffers for output, so this can by logical conclusion only drive the voltage level if it should be any different. But if we read the pin, are we then reading the *setting* of the output value or the *actual* value we can see on the line? If the pin has not first been set into output mode with PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_ENABLE, but is instead in some input mode or tristate, what will reading this property actually return? Reading the current users reading this property it is clear that what we read is the logical level of the pin as 0 or 1 depending on if it is low or high. Rename it to PIN_CONFIG_LEVEL so it is crystal clear that we set or read the voltage level of the pin and nothing else.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
