OK, so the story I'm getting is that each driver needs to set up its own mechanism for obtaining GPIO numbers - it needs to create its own lookup mechanism. That's fine, I can do that; I just thought it made sense to make use of the information that's already there.
Andrew, you might as well drop the patch.
(I'm less worried about the uniqueness side, BTW; it just means drivers need to create meaningful names for their GPIOs.)
Thanks,
jon
