Hmm, am I wrong that if I want my gpios to be poll()-able from userspace 
(via /sys/class/gpio/gpio<num>/value), that I must generate an IRQ and 
populate my .to_irq function of gpio_chip? Or is it cleaner to find the 
dirent and directly call sysfs_notify_dirent() to facilitate this 
behavior to userspace?

Of course, this will wont enable drivers that want an irq in the kernel, 
but aside from this ADNS-9800, I don't need that functionality.

Thanks,
Daniel
