If Lee makes an immutable branch with this stuff on it I can
pull that in and put a fix on top of it (like I recently did with
the ASoC AC97 codec). I have "only" renamed
the .dev field of struct gpio_chip to .parent but I'm bombing
out another 150 or so patches today, ridding all GPIO drivers
in the kernel of container_of().

A bit painful but nothing to what tglx has gone through for
refactoring IRQ chips...

Yours,
Linus Walleij
