Greg, i agree your point ,but i think v2 differs from v1 with a new features distinguished.Also there might be a intention behind going for v2 that might resolve some hardware erratas in v1. what if again a new generation comes then we will name it gpio-v3.c ?? > > -- > Employee of Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. > Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of the Code Aurora Forum. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
