Ugh. Sorry.

I was just pointing out that there is a new gpio interface.
I did not clean up all the omap3's when the interface was created
and I do not expect you to do the same.  The problem is making big
changes you can not test.

I will make the gpio change as a followup after this is merged if you
can test it for me.

I do not have any other issues.

This ok ?
