I've had some extension discussion with Thierry on irc and I agree that
using gpio/pwm interfaces will suit better. In addition both gpio and pwm
subsystem already have magic register/lookup support (which works outside
of devicetree or the new acpi tables, which I didn't know). So we'll avoid
writing our own inter-module boilerplate.

Shobhit, Jani&I also chatted about this topic on irc and I think the rough
direction is hopefully clear now.

Just a quick mail here for the record so that the irc discussion won't get
lost.
