Hi,

I worked on a GPIO driver, starting from the work of Robert Schwebel.
I wrote something that suited my needs, but I kept in mind the idea of
a generic layer. It's worth what it's worth, but i'm sending it in
case it might help someone.
Basically I nearly didn't touch the sysfs part of Robert's driver. I
added the possibility to register a block of GPIO pins, and to handle
interrupts. The platform specific layer registers itself with this
generic layer and passes all the required platform dependant functions
and parameters through a struct.
Attached is the generic layer gpio.c and I moved the header in
include/linux/gpio.h
Feel free to comment, criticize, reject  :-)
