Instead of trying to store this information in my and Grants brains and
us forgetting it, what about patching MAINTAINERS to reflect the fact
instead? That's better I think, plus I use that file a lot.

Listing it under your GIT tree in MAINTAINERS for this driver will make
this work better I think.

One path for OMAP GPIO patches, simple. It's obviously the
ambiguity that cause the trouble. Then you can also decide
on each cycle whether to send these to GPIO or ARM SoC
etc.
