I already had a patch flying around adding a set_type() function to the irq_chip (merely a dummy to shut up warnings in the boot log). After extending it to cover the needs of the mapped GPIO pins and some other work, I could drop that CompactFlash initialisation code in gpio.c completely. As a side effect, many of my changes to pata-rb532-cf got unnecessary which I consider a very good sign. I'll reply to this mail with the relevant patches for each list and maintainer.
