Hi Linus,

Several cleanup patches in my local tree but I didn't manage to find
time to finish the series. Please go ahead update the patch set. We
can fix the problems later.

Haojian,

Could you help on generalize the GPIO support code for PXA? Generally,
the goals are:

1. independent of <mach/gpio.h>, i.e. no #include <mach/gpio.h> so
to support multiple sub-arch in a single kernel, that's to say - possible
to build a single kernel supporting both mach-pxa/ and mach-mmp/

2. as a result of 1), independent of <plat/gpio.h>

Thanks
- eric
