It's probably easiest to take all of this through the MIPS tree because we have an addition of the pinctrl that would be a replacement for the GPIO code, while at the same time a bunch of drivers rely on the JZ4740 GPIO code for successful compilation. That's slightly complicated by the number of drivers, so needs a lot of coordination, but it's not the worst I've seen. Maybe one other solution that would make the transition easier would be to stub out the GPIO functions if the pinctrl driver is enabled, and do the removal of the mach-jz4740/gpio.h after all drivers have been merged through their corresponding subsystem trees. That way all drivers should remain compilable and functional at runtime, while still having the possibility to merge through the subsystem trees. That said, the whole series is fairly simple, so merging everything through the MIPS tree sounds like the easiest way to go. Thierry
