I understand that's the default condition, but presumably there's no 
compelling reason for the mfp configuration functions to be withheld (I 
was simply trying to obey the obsolescence instructions in pxa2xx-gpio.h!)

As for bringing this driver in tree?  Not a great deal of point, in this 
particular case, but I have no problem with doing that.

P.S.  For anybody watching this with linux-arm-kernel access -- my
