Of course. Just because Geode is the only x86 potential user of such an API does not mean it should impose its design. Remember that this patch is part of a serie to add support for the RDC R-321x SoC, which becomes another x86-family user.
Looking at what Geode can do, and what RDC can do, I guess there are only few functions that are generic, all the drain, multiplexing, direction things are only available on the Geode board. ------------------------------ - 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/
