Subject[PATCH] gpio_free might sleep, generic part
Date
According to the documentation gpio_free should only be called from task
context only. To make this more explicit add a might sleep to all
implementations.

This is the generic part which changes gpiolib and the fallback
implementation only.

Hello,

this is a new version of the patch I sent on 2008-07-24 07:28:35 GMT
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/711078)

David Brownell suggested (via private mail) to split the patch along
arch lines. I did that, added Blackfin (which I missed last time) and
left out DaVinci (in ARCH=arm) on Dave's request.

Something that really made me happy is that git managed to use the old
patch although many includes for arm changed location with only three
conflicts.

Note the series is not compile tested because I only have an x86
compiler handy at the moment.

Best regards
Uwe
