Acked-by: Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@xxxxxxxxxx> As we discussed already, this is a great idea. The only thing that is missing is a paragraph in Documentation/gpio/consumer.txt with an explanation of the global mechanism and a simple example to illustrate how and when this should be used. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
