From: Rob Herring <redacted> This series makes mach/gpio.h optional like we have done for other mach headers in preparation for multi-platform kernel images. Unfortunately, it adds more mach includes to drivers/, but really they are just now explicitly included and easily found.This in general looks like a complete backwards step rather than a forwards step for multi-platform kernels. All these drivers are not going to be usable in multi-platform kernel images, because with mach/ includes they're not going to be picking up the correct set of headers.
These drivers are already not usable. I'm just making that obvious.
So all these SoC types might as well not be part of the multi-platform project until they get their act together with their headers.
Precisely the point. It is pushing the problem to the sub-arches so they can clean-up their stuff if they want to get into a multi-plat image. I expect we will see some clean starting in parallel with this. The omap folks are working omap headers and there were some clean-ups for Marvell parts posted. Arnd has platform_data header series he is working on. Rob
