Hi Linus, On Sun, Sep 10, 2017 at 11:44 PM, Linus Walleij [off-list ref] wrote:
This converts the GPIO-based I2C-driver to using GPIO descriptors instead of the old global numberspace-based GPIO interface. We: - Convert the driver to unconditionally grab two GPIOs from the device by index 0 (SDA) and 1 (SCL) which will work fine with device tree and descriptor tables. The existing device trees will continue to work just like before, but without any roundtrip through the global numberspace.
FYI, I recently posted a series to deprecate (at least for DT) this error
prone indexing, in favor of using named GPIOs:

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
