[PATCH 0/2] gpio: sifive: Module support

Posted by Samuel Holland 2 years, 6 months ago

With of_irq_count() exported, the SiFive GPIO driver can be built as a
module. This helps to minimize the size of a multiplatform kernel, and
is required by some downstream distributions (Android GKI).

I guess we probably should have just done that the first time around?  
Either way it seems reasonable to me, aside from sorting out the OF 
stuff.
