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.
