Hello,

The Exar MPIO pins are used by our device driver to control features of
the line driver and can't be used as GPIO pins.  I agree, the condition
can be moved to 8250_exar prior to a platform device being created for
the gpio_exar driver.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I will send a refactoring patch.

Hmm, are you possibly talking about PCI device with the IDs 0x2, 0x4,
0xa, 0xb (4222PCI335, 4224PCI335, 2324PCI335, 2328PCI335), because those
actually set the GPIOs for apparent internal reasons. However,
0x20..0x22 (4222PCIE, 4224PCIE, 4228PCIE) already share setup_gpio() via
pci_xr17v35x_setup(), and that looks different.

I'm also asking again because we just changed the default MPIO settings
for the latter to all inputs. If you depended on them to be all outputs
and 0, we may have broken something.

Thanks,
Jan
