I'm willing to write a gpio driver and I am considering taking Robert Schwebel
patch into it if nothing exist in the main line.

As far as I know there is nothing new available yet; the LED framework
people have don some things, but it should be "above" GPIO. This morning
we have discussed serveral things which could be improved in our code;
if you are interested I'll keep you informed about the progress.

Any further progress on this. I'm looking at the GPIO's on an embedded PowerPC and would prefer to produce a driver towards a standard kernel interface. I'm also happy to help on the standard interface if it needs some work.
