19 With the event of the GPIOLIB in drivers/gpio, support for some
20 of the GPIO functions such as reading and writing a pin will
21 be removed in favour of this common access method.

23 Once all the extant drivers have been converted, the functions
24 listed below will be removed (they may be marked as __deprecated
