We've got to sort out getting irq domains enabled on x86 and MIPS in
order to merge generic irq chip using domains. I'm not sure that will
get done in time.

Can you leave out the interrupt portion of the driver? Or that is needed
to get to a useful state.

Or just add a dependency in Kconfig?

Yeah, I just saw a post from Grant on another topic where he mentioned 
that 'select IRQ_DOMAIN' is the wrong thing anyway so I should introduce 
a dependency on IRQ_DOMAIN.

The IRQ part is dependent on Rob's patches to introduce irq domain 
support into the generic chip though, so how about I split this into two 
patches, one that does the basic GPIO stuff and another that does the 
IRQ portion (with the dependency change) and if Rob's patches don't make 
it in we drop the IRQ support for the GPIO?

Thanks,

Jamie

Yeah, epecially since the IRQ domain stuff is still giving unbootable
kernels in -next as far as I know.
