Overall looks good, though I left two patches without tags since I'm
not sure about them (Do we have any user space tool relied on those
bits? Is it a good idea to remove those generic predefined
descriptions? At least I'm okay with both of them, so, feel free to
add my tag if Greg is okay with them)

Yoohoo! That's now realistic! I remember we started with Sudip from
something like +~650 LOC overall, now we have new GPIO driver (+200
LOC) and already -~20 LOC for the rest. And we have separate driver!
