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...
messy. I remember Arnd being very sceptical about putting stuff there
rather than creating new subsystems, so since I've tried to avoid it,
albeit recently more and more stuff gets merged there again :/
