Yes, this is what we are doing now and it works well. But I am not yet ready to give-up on the automatic IRQ <-> GPIO translation :) What if we can do the pin configuration in gpiolib right after the GPIO controller is initialized. I am thinking of searching the ACPI namespace and looking for resources that have GpioInt entries for that particular GPIO controller and use them to set the pins to input (and ideally also set the other properties like pullups, pulldowns, etc.) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
