I start working on moving mxs gpio (arch/arm/mach-mxs/gpio.c) into
driver/gpio, and I see the possibility to go a different approach
from U300 one posted here.

I've tried to figure out what relation the mail has to the U300 driver
but cannot find any, more than that it's moving a driver... Please
start a new mail thread.

I will post mxs-gpio driver once I get it done.  Then please review
the code and see the difference between mxs-gpio and u300-gpio,
though these hardwares have something in common.

I'm pretty sure they have something in common and even more that *all*
gpio drivers have something in common. I wonder if it really makes sense
to move the gpio driver to drivers/gpio without creating a common
mmio_gpio_chip beforehand. This can't be very hard.

Jamie Iles (cc'ed) posted some patches that extended the basic_mmio_gpio
driver so that it could be used as a library by other gpio drivers.

Jamie, could you re-post that series to the linux-arm-kernel list for
review?

Thanks,
Hartley
