Hmmm. I just noticed that the IMX_GPIO_NR() macro isn't in Stefano's tree.
My previous patches were against Dirk's	tree on GitHub, which has a patch
from Troy:
	https://github.com/dirkbehme/u-boot-imx6/commit/c8b2870efd041f820a91eebcb888c84a4f79f1f6

If we move this macro into arch-mx6/imx-regs.h, we avoid the #if.

Looking at the remaining content of gpio.h, it seems that it's driver-specific
anyway (only the driver should be worried about the register layout of the GPIO
controller).

If there are no objections, I'll forward a separate patch to define the macro.

Should this be based on Stefano's tree?

Please advise,


Eric
