Hi Linus,

Sorry to pester you again...

I sent a v2 with this conversion already and it looks a lot better.
Based on Andy Shevchenko's comments[0] I'll be sending a v3 that fixes
up all style and other issues he found.
Before I do that I have a question that maybe you could help me with:
Andy noted a few times that I have this driver as a built in driver
and not a module.
The gpio-ixp4xx.c driver is also a built in driver. Is there a reason
why it's ok there but not this driver?
I've actually changed it to allow building as a module already but I
don't want to push a v3 if something like the interrupt handling means
it should actually be a built in and I'm just missing something.

Thanks,

Daniel
