I meant a few. As I pointed these were chosen explicitly for the sake of not
crossing the subsystem boundaries. I looked at Broadcom one, it is so big mess
but I think I can get an advantage on it. Also there are other drivers that
just need more work to check (and many of them are outside of drivers/gpio),
but I'm pretty sure the new API has a good potential.
