This only works for memory mapped devices but this is an I2C controlled MFD. Someone should really do a regmap gpio-chip (or convert the gpio-generic driver to regmap, regmap does support MMIO now but it does add a little overhead).

The irq_chip is in the MFD core for the device. [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
