Somebody in the thread at some point said:
| In order to talk to LCM device on gta03, it's requisite to have
something like
| s3c64xx_spi_gpio driver. Currently, this driver works perfectly on gta03.
| For the functional perspective, it's fine for me.
|
| But for the upstream, there are lots of code segments the same among
s3c24xx_spi_gpio.c
| , s3c64xx_spi_gpio.c and glamo_spi_gpio.c. The vital difference among
them is the GPIO control.
| For the long term, we should have a generic-spi-gpio driver to do
these bitbang stuff.

I stuck the driver parts on stable-tracking and the config parts on
andy-tracking.

Now there is generic GPIO everywhere it does makes sense to unify them
in a layer on top of the generic bitbang stuff in the long run, but it
doesn't have to stop us so the s3c64xx one is good to have.

| And I found the following,
|
| http://lwn.net/Articles/290761/
|
| But it's not in the upstream. Does anyone know any consideration on this?

I guess Michael Buesch has an idea about status :-)
