In the meantime, use the old name drivers/misc (a > misnomer today, but won't be for much longer.) Hi Peter, I'm awaiting feedback from the geode mailing list to see if they want to move to the GPIO class and thus instantiate the GPIO devices in geode_32.c. The remaining pieces (LEDS) could then be moved to drivers/platform, even if it's not a real driver. -- Best regards, Alessandro Zummo, Tower Technologies - Torino, Italy http://www.towertech.it -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
