I have only seen Intel doing this, are there more people doing that? As noted on patch [0/7] I still get patches for embedded x86 which use ISA-style probing for embedded x86, e.g: http://marc.info/?l=linux-gpio&m=138559852307673&w=2 At the same time some people are refining SFI (simple firmware interface) support for GPIO, albeit I think that was for elder embedded x86'es.
