Ok. I see.
Yeah it can be done in that way too.

I can rebase my patches on the top of that because they are still valid.
1/2 is not there and it is nice way how to simplify the code.

The purpose of 2/2 was to remove that uio_pdrv.c which is not needed
when uio_pdrv_genirq.c also support no IRQ case.

Will be good if you can look at my patches and test them.

Also we should also simplify the driver by using devres groups,
devm_kzalloc, etc.

Thanks,
Michal
