Linus,

I looked into it, but for my part I seem to be missing how the generic GPIO code
permits locking access to the hardware (PLD) and setting the PLD's page register.
In other words, I don't immediately see how to call kempld_get_mutex_set_index()
from the generic GPIO code. The other drivers using generic GPIO code don't
seem to have that requirement.

Thanks,
Guenter
