Fabio Baltieri 1dd2307b3f input: gpio_qdec: add optical encoder support
Change the gpio_qdec driver to support optical encoders.

Add a property to use for defining an arbitrary number of GPIOs for the
sensing devices (typically infrared LEDs, but could also be the
biasing for the phototransistor), and one for adding a delay between
turning those on and reading the pin status.

The infrared LEDs typically consume a non negligible amount of power, so
there's also a new idle-poll-time-us property that enables two possible
modes of operation:

- if idle-poll-time-us is zero (default) the LEDs are enabled all the
  time and the driver enters polling mode using the GPIO interrupt as
  with mechanical encoders. This is usable for mains powered devices and
  has the lowest overhead on the CPU.

- if idle-poll-time-us is non zero, then the driver polls the encoder
  all the time, turning on the LEDs just before reading the state and
  shutting them off immediately after, but when the encoder is idle it
  switches the polling rate to idle-poll-time-us to save power, and only
  polls at sample-time-us when some movement is detected.

GPIO based QDEC input device
Implement an input device generating relative axis event reports for a rotary
encoder connected to two GPIOs. The driver is normally idling until it sees a
transition on any of the encoder signal lines, then switches to polling mode
and samples the two signal lines periodically to track the encoder position,
and goes back to idling after the specified timeout.
Example configuration:
#include <zephyr/dt-bindings/input/input-event-codes.h>
qdec {
compatible = "gpio-qdec";
gpios = <&gpio0 14 (GPIO_PULL_UP | GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH)>,
<&gpio0 13 (GPIO_PULL_UP | GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH)>;
steps-per-period = <4>;
zephyr,axis = <INPUT_REL_WHEEL>;
sample-time-us = <2000>;
idle-timeout-ms = <200>;
};
compatible: "gpio-qdec"
include: base.yaml
properties:
gpios:
type: phandle-array
required: true
description: |
GPIO for the A and B encoder signals.
led-gpios:
type: phandle-array
description: |
GPIOs for LED or other components needed for sensing the AB signals.
led-pre-us:
type: int
description: |
Time between enabling the led-gpios output pins and reading the encoder
state on the input pins, meant to give the state detector (such a
phototransistor) time to settle to right state. Required if led-gpios and
idle-poll-time-us are specified, can be explicitly set to 0 for no delay.
steps-per-period:
type: int
required: true
description: |
How many steps to count before reporting an input event.
zephyr,axis:
type: int
required: true
description: |
The input code for the axis to report for the device, typically any of
INPUT_REL_*.
sample-time-us:
type: int
required: true
description: |
How often to sample the A and B signal lines when tracking the encoder
movement.
idle-poll-time-us:
type: int
description: |
How often to sample the A and B signal while idling. If unset then the
driver will use the GPIO interrupt to exit idle state, and any GPIO
specified in led-gpios will be enabled all the time. If non zero, then
the driver will poll every idle-poll-time-us microseconds while idle, and
only activate led-gpios before sampling the encoder state.
idle-timeout-ms:
type: int
required: true
description: |
Timeout for the last detected transition before stopping the sampling
timer and going back to idle state.
