Hey :D I didn't know it was working out that well. OK this give me hope!
I've also started a patch series to remove some of the less common
of_gpio portions, which gets rid of of_get_gpio(), of_get_gpio_flags()
and of_get_named_gpio_flags() but leaves of_get_named_gpio() in
place for now. I'm much less confident about that work though, so I
haven't posted that. I think killing off the of_gpio consumer-side
interfaces entirely would likely make the biggest impact, as those
appear to still be used a lot in relatively modern drivers, while the
traditional gpio_request() interfaces are mainly used in drivers for
legacy boards that don't have a long future ahead of them unless
they get converted to DT.
OK you got a point. I am running around in SA1100 systems and
stuff like that :/ getting rid of of_gpio.h would be a real nice feat.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
