Maulik, since I am no longer subscribed to linux-gpio, can you mail the
series to me?

I have two use-cases, but I can only test one (I don't have access to the
SBC I need to test the other use-case for the next few months).

Once I have the whole series I'll try to test the first use-case and at
least look into the code if this series could affect the second use-case.

Regards,
