The intentions are in path 0, in this case specifically to let gpio.h be only about generic GPIO and gpiolib and gpio-<foo>.h be platform and driver specifics. >> diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-ep93xx/core.c b/arch/arm/mach-ep93xx/core.c >> index c60f081..94c78bc 100644 >> --- a/arch/arm/mach-ep93xx/core.c >> +++ b/arch/arm/mach-ep93xx/core.c >> @@ -38,6 +38,7 @@ >> #include <mach/fb.h> >> #include <mach/ep93xx_keypad.h> >> #include <mach/ep93xx_spi.h> >> +#include <mach/gpio-ep93xx.h> > > Why is this additional include needed? With your change to the ep93xx > <mach/gpio.h> below, this header is already included by <linux/gpio.h>. Yes, but it is included in <mach/gpio.h> because the quick generic gpio macros in there use them, not because it wants to expose symbols from <mach/gpio-ep93xx.h> to the entire system, that is just a side effect due to low encapsulation. > Since this file actually uses the gpiolib calls, the include of > <linux/gpio.h> is needed and appropriate. Yes that one *also*. Because you do both generic and driver-specific operations. The intention is not to minimize the number of #include<> statements (if we want that we could always rely on implicit includes from other files, which is an abomonation), the intention is separation of concerns. > Question...

It's technically correct but it's seems awkward. Define awkward. I know you can get the same *implicitly* from <linux/gpio.h> but that is the awkward problem we're trying to get rid of. Eventually <linux/gpio.h> will *not* bring in *any* platform- or driver-specific crap. Not today, but as soon as we get somewhere with the single image concept. Similarly, platforms with GPIO not using generic GPIO or gpiolib at all have simply had their headers renamed <mach/gpio-foo.h>. Atleast that's my idea, I guess someone may smack my fingers.
