RE: [PATCH] AB8500 GPIO : Driver for 42 AB8500 GPIO pins

[Bibek BASU]

Hi Grant,

I don't know how the latest patch has not reached you. I am reposting the patch and attaching with this mail also.
Your concern regarding getting gpio irq base address from platform data is addressed in that patch.
Sorry for the confusion.

Regards
Bibek

  CC      drivers/gpio/ab8500-gpio.o
  /home/grant/hacking/linux-2.6/drivers/gpio/ab8500-gpio.c: In function 'ab8500_gpio_probe':

and:

$ git grep MOP500_AB8500_VIR_GPIO_IRQ_BASE origin
$ 

Looks like I cannot merge this yet.

BTW, why is this driver hardcoding the gpio irq base address instead
of retrieving it from the platform data?
