I understand that the better way to solve this issue is to:
- keep the AT91 way of specifying not connected pins (= 0)
- code the gpio_is_valid() function for at91 that tests this way of
handling not connected gpio
I see that in arch/arm/mach-at91/include/mach/gpio.h
we include the asm-generic/gpio.h file... must I implement the full set
of gpiolib ?
Best regards,
