The Amstrad Delta board has two extra output ports used for driving
input lines of different on-board devices. Those ports are now
controlled with custom functions, provided by the board arch code and
used by several device drivers.
The idea behind the series is to replace those custom I/O functions
with gpiolib API. This way, existing drivers can be made less platform
dependent, and some of them perhaps even superseded with generic GPIO
based drivers after the board platform device descriptions are
converted. Moreover, should a new driver for the on-board Smart Card
controller ever be created, it could be designed as a generic GPIO
based driver, not a custom one.
Nice work; moving ams-delta over to gpiolib has been on my todo list for
a while (albeit quite low down).
