the Nomadik GPIO controller. I think for now at least we should continue
to work on enablement and leave the 'nice to have's until last. We are
doing nothing new here, just bringing the ab8500 IRQ controller into
line with the Nomadik one.
Right, I didn't say we should not take your patch, but we should be
aware that it's not the solution we want to use in the long run.
