There is no subdirectory for GPIO and PWM documents under 'Documentation'.
That's why I put LP3943 documentation here.

I thought it's no issue because I still found few driver documentations 
in that location.
It sounds like people are moving those into other subdirectories.
Thanks for this information.

I agree Thierry.
If you don't mind, can I create a MFD subdirectory with this patch-set 
in next version, v4?
Any other ideas are welcome.

Best regards,
