[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/2] arm nomadik: gpio and i2c

[Alessandro Rubini]

This adds gpio and i2c support for the Nomadik evaluation kit. They
are needed to turn on the LCD backlight in order to later add LCD
support.

I have one doubt and some questions on gpio:

To use soft_i2c I need to define some macros in the config file.
Instead of writing hard numbers there I called the gpio functions, but
the config file is inluded from asm sources as well.  I don't think my
approach is beautiful at all (both #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ and #include
"../board/"), but I didn't find a better solution.

I would like to add a gpio command, and I've found no generic gpio
stuff.  Only one board (cm-bf527) has a gpio commands, but quite a few
have similar commands to set leds or other bits.  Is time ripe for a
generic gpio driver with board-specific limits and operations? Would
that be interesting for u-boot-next?  Should I process with a board-specific
gpio command by now?
