This driver implements the GPIO service on top of the SMC framework on Apple Mac machines. In particular, these are the GPIOs present in the PMU IC which are used to control power to certain on-board devices. Although the underlying hardware supports various pin config settings (input/output, open drain, etc.), this driver does not implement that functionality and leaves it up to the firmware to configure things properly. We also don't yet support interrupts/events. This is sufficient for device power control, which is the only thing we need to support at this point. More features will be implemented when needed. To our knowledge, only Apple Silicon Macs implement this SMC feature.

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.
