Do you think you can get one of the DT bindings mainatiners to ACK
this part?

I am told we need to get more strict on binding review.

It will be subject to timeout if it takes to long and you made a reasonable
effort to get their consent though.

So this is another one of of those GPIO controller that are
also interrupt controllers.

So it will be subject to the same dilemma as the OMAP
expander that has caused so much stir :-(

Can you provide your input in the discussion regarding my
patch with the subject:
"RFC: interrupt consistency check for OF GPIO IRQs"

This patch will affect this driver also, in a very direct way, by just
stealing and setting as input any GPIO line used for an IRQ.

Not gpio-controller?

Apart from that it looks good, please help out with the
gpio-controller vs interrupt-controller dilemma if you can
because it's getting really frustrating...
