Hi Heiko, It's certainly possible, and it's also easily done from user-space. Something like this is more policy than function. It's also a potential security issue. As such I'd expect it highly unlikely that the kernel maintainers would allow it to go upstream. Give it a try though.
Ok, thats what I also think ...
I'd approach this from user-space. Add in the gpio-keys driver and use the input-event-daemon to trigger a reboot. Super easy.
Yes, that was also my suggestion, but is there a way to do this without user space usage in a generic way? bye, Heiko -- DENX Software Engineering GmbH, MD: Wolfgang Denk & Detlev Zundel HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany
