[PATCH] gpiolib: move legacy interface into linux/gpio/legacy.h
From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Tue Apr 28 2026 - 11:46:23 EST
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
Split the old contents from gpio.h for clarity. Ideally any driver
that still includes linux/gpio.h can now be ported over to use
either linux/gpio/legacy.h or linux/gpio/consumer.h, with the
original file getting removed once that is complete.
No functional changes intended for now.
