I have a series that starts this process, will post it shortly.

Is the above order required?

IMO, before we move it to drivers/gpio, this code needs to be runtime PM
converted (using this series from Charu.)  The runtime PM conversion
removes a bunch of platform-specific hacks that should be moved into
drivers/*.

Personally, I think we should go in this order

- runtime PM conversion
- #ifdef cleanup
- move to drivers/gpio
- look at consolidation with other drivers

I'm willing to queue the GPIO work in my tree while it's under way if
you like as well.
