no problem.

drivers/phy, if the framework misses anything you need, it's a great
opportunity to give back to the community by extending the framework.

Scratching one's own itch kinda thing...

well, add DT. The whole idea of free software is that we improve on
things we already have. EXTCON is *the* API to handle such things.

Quite frankly, though, Roger Quadros (now in Cc) has been working to get
DT support on extcon-gpio, so perhaps wait for that and base your
patches on top of his.

Now your statement that GPIO is clear enough is completely bogus to me.

Why do we have fixed regulators with GPIO enable signals, right ? Might
as well just fiddle with the GPIO directly, right ? Wrong, the idea of
using these frameworks is to encapsulate implementation details and make
sure that if things change from one board to another, we can still use
our SW without major modifications.

then the framework should implement it in SW. That was the whole idea of
adding set_debounce() to gpiolib. If the controller can't handle it,
gpiolib handles it in SW. Again, encapsulating details.

debounce might be very well needed. We *do* want to filter out the
transient period. I'm just telling you there are better ways of doing
so; and your response to that is "let's just remove it" and I'm not
really comfortable with that attitude.

That's the attitude of a lazy person which, I hope, you are not ;)
