Agree, but there wasn't a clear message provided to the readers of this mailing list. A 'should' is a recommendation that provides no real incentive to move to the new gpiod framework. The message would be clearer if maintainers stated that new contributions using of_get_named_gpio() will no longer be merged in the mainline (maybe after a specific milestone). That would set the direction for everyone.
That's what's been happening...
We are in agreement. I wasn't trying to argue but make sure everyone noticed this change. I saw a commit with of_get_named_gpio in sound/soc as recent as December 30, 2014 and we talked to 3rd parties unaware of this change. Now they are :-)
