[PATCH 1/7] gpio: move ppc4xx gpio driver from arch/powerpc to drivers/gpio
From: Rosen Penev
Date: Tue Jun 02 2026 - 01:04:44 EST
Move the ppc4xx gpio driver out of arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/ into
drivers/gpio/gpio-ppc44x.c. The driver has no architecture-specific
dependencies and follows the same pattern as other PowerPC GPIO
drivers already in drivers/gpio/ (e.g. gpio-mpc8xxx, gpio-mpc5200).
- Renamed Kconfig symbol from PPC4xx_GPIO to GPIO_PPC44X
- Updated ppc44x_defconfig and warp_defconfig to use the new symbol
- Marked the new option as tristate (was bool) since the driver
supports module build via module_platform_driver()
