Hm, it looks from your proposal like the FMC device core
is using its own hacks for i2c mastering, FPGA management
and irqchips. Does it also have its own GPIO implementation
not using struct gpio_chip from <linux/gpio/driver.h>?

In that case my first step should rather be to remove the
reference to <linux/gpio.h> because then FMC is not really
using the GPIO subsystem.

As for the proposal so remove it, I'd like to hear what
Alessandro says. If there is consensus on deleting this
I can queue something up and send it to Torvalds, but
I need consent from everyone who cares.

Yours,
