Re: [RFC PATCH] GPIO/ACPI: DesignWare: Add GPIO-signaled ACPI events support for power button

[Linus Walleij]

Mika can you help out looking at this patch. Tell me if you need a copy
of the whole patch, I'm not smart with ACPI.

You should only need <linux/driver.h>

I guess this is for some acpi_gpiochip* functions that ACPI GPIO
drivers need like this:

Hm, maybe these should be in "gpiolib-acpi.h" or so.

Overall the patch looks sane to me, but I need some ACPI
person to tell.
