Hi, Ralf and Alexandre, So, I need three patches: clean up, move to drivers/gpio, and improve it to support Loonson-3A/3B?

Can you port this to a proper > gpiolib driver before doing the move? As the arch maintainer I'm happy to say farewell to driver code in arch/mips. Also, can we split the whole procedure into two patches, one for the cleanup and one for the move? I don't care in which order. Ralf
