Commtech adapters need the MPIOs for internal purposes, and the gpio-exar driver already refused to pick them up. But there is actually no point in even creating the underlying platform device.It still feels that partially you may do stuff here, like renaming to __xr17v35x_register_gpio() and creating xr17v35x_register_gpio() wrapper.
Sorry, that remains unrelated to the topic of this patch and would be unclean. If you want me to pull those refactorings out of patch 9, I need to write a separate patch - no problem. Jan -- Siemens AG, Corporate Technology, CT RDA ITP SES-DE Corporate Competence Center Embedded Linux
