My bad. It is based on the misc driver but I forgot to put Matthieu in as
one of the original authors when I wrote it.

I'll fix that.

For multiplatform it would probably be a problem. But I don't think anyone
would be including ep93xx in a multiplatform kernel. If the problem comes up
I'll figure out some way to deal with it, probably with a pinctrl driver.

It should be but I have not worked out how to support EP93xx GPIOs with a
pinctrl driver yet. The GPIOs are pretty limited on this platform compared to
the other pinctrl users.

I overlooked that. This will be fixed in the next version.

Opinions differ.. But I'll remove the tabs.

Thanks for the review,
