In any case I think this should be going through your I2C patches. I'd be a trifle uneasy just deleting this, because it's possible there are *unknown* users ... and also because nobody's yet done a userspace interface to the gpiolib infrastructure. (It seems to be the usual case of nobody wanting such a thing quite enough to write the code.) I'd be more comfortable marking it as obsolete and flagging it for removal a release or two after Eric's new version merges ... though maybe that's just paranoia. - Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
