Scope of the change is limited to GPIO pins used by board specific device drivers which will be updated by follow-up patches of the series. Those are some OMAP GPIO (gpio-0-15) and most of Amstrad Delta latch2 GPIO bank pins. Remaining pins of those banks, as well as Amstrad Delta latch1 pins, will be addressed later.
Assign a label ("latch2") to the bank, enumerate its pins and put that information, together with OMAP GPIO bank pins, in GPIO lookup tables. Assign lookup tables to devices as soon as those devices are registered and their names can be obtained.
A step froward in:
- removal of hard-coded GPIO numbers from drivers,
- removal of board mach includes from drivers,
- switching to dynamically assigned GPIO numbers.
Is this first patch safe for me to apply separately?
Absolutely, it is.
Thanks, Janusz
