[PATCH 5/8] Documentation: gpio: Move legacy documentation to driver-api

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Move gpio/gpio-legacy.txt to driver-api/gpio/legacy.rst and make sure it
builds cleanly as ReST.

Also move the legacy API reference from index.rst to legacy.rst.
