Subject: pinctrl: core: include gpio/driver.h for struct gpio_chip
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 14:34:22 -0400
Stable commit f53dd26462b8e ("pinctrl: remove pinctrl_gpio_direction_output()")
[ upstream 45d2055b0067 ] changed pinctrl_gpio_direction_input/output() to take
a struct gpio_chip * and dereference gc->base. Those functions are compiled
unconditionally, but in 6.6 core.c the struct gpio_chip definition is only
pulled in via "../gpio/gpiolib.h" under #ifdef CONFIG_GPIOLIB. Configurations
with CONFIG_PINCTRL=y and CONFIG_GPIOLIB=n (e.g. linux-yocto-tiny on x86, built
with --allnoconfig) therefore fail to build:
drivers/pinctrl/core.c: error: invalid use of undefined type 'struct gpio_chip'
Include <linux/gpio/driver.h> directly so struct gpio_chip is always a complete
type, matching how mainline core.c has included it since commit ec963d04ca865
("pinctrl: provide new GPIO-to-pinctrl glue helpers"), present in 6.12/6.18 but
not 6.6.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a pre-packaged build system and development environment which is used as a development and validation tool by the Yocto Project. It features support for building customised embedded style device images and custom containers. There are reference demo images ranging from X11/GTK+ to Weston, commandline and more. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK suitable for IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of BSP layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. Many layers are available and can be found through the layer index.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation, the 'meta-yocto' layer which has configuration and hardware support components. These components are all part of the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded ecosystems.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/
OpenEmbedded is the build architecture used by Poky and the Yocto project. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website.
Contribution Guidelines
Please refer to our contributor guide here: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/contributor-guide/ for full details on how to submit changes.
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
OpenEmbedded-Core (files in meta/, meta-selftest/, meta-skeleton/, scripts/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
- Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
BitBake (files in bitbake/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
- Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
Documentation (files in documentation/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
- Mailing list: docs@lists.yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto (files in meta-poky/, meta-yocto-bsp/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto
- Mailing list: poky@lists.yoctoproject.org
If in doubt, check the openembedded-core git repository for the content you intend to modify as most files are from there unless clearly one of the above categories. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current git repository branch in question.
