I think the TODO list is in Linus' head,
Oh no, drivers/gpio/TODO
but it would include all the files that use one of the interfaces in linux/gpio.h. I found about 350 of them, so there is little point in listing them one at a time. IIRC Linus is going through those one subsystem at a time.
Yeah but if it's just me I doubt that I will manage to do it by the time I retire in 2037 or so... So the TODO is there to inspire others to step in and help out.
I also found that we have a ton of users of linux/of_gpio.h, which is somewhere inbetween the linux/gpio.h interface and the linux/gpio/consumer.h version.
This is also mentioned in the TODO. Yours, Linus Walleij
