Hi Joel, Christoph,

FYI The configfs patches from this series have been on the mailing
list for months (long before the GPIO part) and have been re-sent
several times. You have neither acked or opposed these changes. I
don't want to delay the new testing driver anymore so I intend to
apply the entire series and take it upstream through the GPIO tree by
the end of this week.

Best Regards,
Bartosz Golaszewski
