So how many existing userspace applications does this patch
break? Has this system been widely deployed so a kernel
upgrade will cause problems for people?

But applied anyway, unless someone screams about it real
soon now. That seems to be the only way to get people to tell
us about their use cases.

Could you consider adding names to the exported GPIO pins
on the vt8500 series please? Then userspace can atleast
try to locate the right pin.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
