I propose to develop a common way of registering and accessing GPIO pins on
various devices.
I've attached the gpio framework we have developed a while ago; it is
not ready for upstream, only tested on pxa and has probably several
other drawbacks, but may be a start for your activities. One of the
problems we've recently seen is that for example on PowerPCs you don't
have such a clear "this is gpio pin x" nomenclature, so the question
would be how to do the mapping here.

this is cool to see. Using a class-driver is very different from the
vtable-approach
that I used (struct nsc_gpio_ops) in pc8736x_gpio and scx200_gpio.
Are any of the limitation youve cited above related to the
/sys/class/gpio paths below ?
+ To set pin 63 to low (to start the motor) do a:
+ $ echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio63/level
+ Or to stop the motor again:
+ $ echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio63/level
+ To get the level of the key (pin 8) do:
+ $ cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio8/level
+ The result will be 1 or 0.
+
+ To add new GPIO pins at runtime (lets say pin 88 should be an input)
+ you can do a:
+ $ echo 88:in > /sys/class/gpio/map_gpio
+ The same with a new GPIO pin 95, it should be an output and at high level:
+ $ echo 95:out:hi > /sys/class/gpio/map_gpio
+
