The change is being staged in gradually so from 2.6.37 both APIs are available unless the architecture explicitly selects a Kconfig symbol which disables the old one (SH is trying to do this now but I'm hopeful that Paul will update this for 2.6.37 so GPIO and MFD drivers aren't affected in that release). At some point in the future when all the architectures are updated to the new API, hopefully in a fairly small number of releases, support for the old API will be withdrawn and only the new API will be available. -- 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/
