Actually that is something I requested.

I think it fits in drivers/gpio as it is such a clear cut usage of GPIO
lines, and it doesn't really fit into any other subsystem.

Misc is a bit...

rather than creating new subsystems, so since I've tried to avoid it,
albeit recently more and more stuff gets merged there again :/
