OK.

Would it sound better with :
This regroups all the CPLDs on the Lubbock motherboard, providing interrupt
muxing, leds handling, ...

Right, a simple "should be" would fit better.

Aouch, how about this :
interrupts : The first interrupt is the SoC input interrupt connected to the
lubbock IO board interrupt multiplexer output. The only known
working configuration is GPIO0 on the pxa25x SoC.

Right.

Yes, mb for motherboard. Well, this driver is actually for the CPLDs on the
motherboard. Would "lubbock-cplds" be a better choice ?

Cheers.
