I suspect that's not actually a big deal and that if we went down this route we'd have the driver take over control from the core code during probe() with the core still setting up the default state. Personally I do think we want to be factoring bolierplate out of drivers, if they're not doing anything constructive with pinctrl they should be able to avoid having code for it. There definitely are issues to work through but it seems like we ought to be able to do something. -- 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
