[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] [kernel] cp201x: Add GPIO ioctl commands (from Silicon Labs)

[Ted Hess]

It would probably make sense to do it that way however, there are apps which already use the ioctl interface on this device and this 
code came directly from the the manufacturer's linux driver.

I'm not sure how to add general GPIO support for a specific USB device? Things to research...

(I think I may have to re-submit this without the gratuitous word-wrapping too)

Wouldn't it make more sense to expose this as a GPIO controller instead
of a driver specific ioctl interface?
