I didn't consider you to take this but thought this more to be an
example for how to use this siox stuff. I didn't send it to the gpio
list and maintainer on purpose to prevent Linus W. being happy and
taking the patch and you shooting down the siox core stuff and so
consume reviewer time pointlessly.

When you're happy with the drivers/siox/ stuff, I will send this
gpio driver (maybe separately) again to the right people.

Best regards
Uwe
