That's 145 files in the arm directory that are some kind of > crazy gpio support. Most likely those are remanescent from times when we didn't have gpiolib. It's not long ago (about 2 years) that David Brownell (rip, my friend) introduced it to the kernel. So those should be converted to gpiolib and moved to drivers/gpio/ but it doesn't mean we don't need that piece of code. With different register layout, register offsets, register sizes, etc, it would be way uglier to combine all those into one big hacky driver. -- balbi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
