Hello Jamie,

I was wondering on the status of this patch series, and Anton's for that matter.

I think I can convert the ep93xx gpio support to use this basic_mmio_gpio library
but would like to make sure I have seen all the relevant patches.  Is there any
plan on someone getting this into linux-next?

Regards,
Hartley
