Sorry for the delayed response, and thanks for the pings! ;-)
The main thing I'm afraid of is duplication. I.e. someday you
will want debouncing (include/linux/pda_power.h's wait_for_status,
wait_for_charger parameters) support, regulators support etc.
And your gpio driver will look very similar to pda_power.
So I'd vote for adding the GPIO functionality to pda_power, and
refactoring it if needed.
Though, if there are strong objections against this idea, I
can merge the GPIO driver, and let's see how things will evolve.
Thanks!
