Oops, I misunderstood your point. But one thing I have been trying
hard is to keep changes for driver and subarch in separate patches,
which is something I was asked to do when I started working with
community. As you will anyway pick up the patch set as a whole,
this is not a problem then. I just sent the updates of gpio-mxs
and gpio-mxc with you approach. As a side effect, you will see
patch #2 of gpio-mxc becomes a very big patch in term of number of
files it changes.

Thanks for the patch demonstrating. I have one minor comment below.

This is the problem of existing code. The gpio.h (in turn gpio-mxs.h)
does not need to be included here. So we can simply drop it in this
patch. I have incorporated it when sending the patch within my series.
