Why did this code get pulled into the dream gpio code? The original
change that adds msm gpio support already selects GENERIC_GPIO
(http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/msm.git;a=commit;h=5ae9f4403530a5782478c35d29753081750c4188).
Since you copied half of the files from that change anyway, it would
be better to just include that change in you patch set.
