This series being tested on da850 EVM. Tested by setting VPIF_DOUT[12] as GPIO
pin [2] and reading GPIO status from GPIO[7,4]

GPIO[7,4] will reflect the status switch number 8 of the S7 dip switch in DA850 EVM.

Testing Procedure

Requirement GPIO SYSFS support [1]

#echo 116 > /sys/class/gpio/export
setting GPIO[7,4] as input GPIO
#echo "in" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio116/direction
#mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug
Reading GPIO pin status
#cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
#echo 116 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport


1. Enable GPIO SYSFS support through menconfig
--- GPIO Support
	[ ]   Debug GPIO calls
               [ ]   /sys/class/gpio/... (sysfs interface)
 
2. Patch for pinmux support for GPIO[7,4] is available at
