cs5535: deprecate older cs5535_gpio driver
The newer drivers/gpio/cs5535-gpio.c replaces drivers/misc/cs5535_gpio.c. The new driver has been in the tree for a little while, and has received some testing; it's time to mark the old one as deprecated. I'm thinking removal around 2.6.40 would be good, provided we're not missing critical functionality in the newer driver.

What: CS5535/CS5536 obsolete GPIO driver
|

When: June 2011

Check: drivers/staging/cs5535_gpio/cs5535_gpio.c
|

Why: A newer driver replaces this; it is drivers/gpio/cs5535-gpio.c, and
|
||||
integrates with the Linux GPIO subsystem. The old driver has been
|
||||
moved to staging, and will be removed altogether around 2.6.40.
|
||||
Please test the new driver, and ensure that the functionality you
|
||||
need and any bugfixes from the old driver are available in the new
|
||||
one.

This is an obsolete driver for some the CS5535 and CS5536 southbridge GPIOs.
|
||||
It has been replaced by a driver that makes use of the Linux GPIO subsystem.
|
||||
Please switch to that driver, and let dilinger@queued.net know if there's
|

anything missing from the new driver.
|
||||
|
||||
This driver is scheduled for removal in 2.6.40.
