Hi Tobias,

At this point, I've lost track of all the changes that need to be
made. Would you mind submitting your current patch w/ all of the
updates we talked about, and we can go from there? If possible, it'd
be nice to get the cs5535-gpio stuff into the next merge window (but
we'd need to get moving on this now in order to do that).
