Hello,

This is a change to the GPIO core but you only have the OMAP-specific
list here.

Please send this to the GPIO maintainer[1] and the lists.

Also, please copy linux-arm-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx where there are
lots of GPIOlib users who might be interested in this, and also copy
LKML (linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

Thanks,

Kevin

P.S. David Brownell passed away earlier this year, so I removed his
     email from the to list: http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/6/6/32
