+ *
+ * This Linux kernel header is expanded from the original driver
+ * (gpio_dev) by John Crispin. It provides an ioctl based interface to
+ * GPIO pins via the /dev/gpio char device and gpiolib within the kernel.
+ * The third argument to each ioctl is the GPIO pin number.
+ *
+ * This driver has been tested with lk 2.6.31 and works. The original
+ * driver fails quietly with this version. The protocol is now a bit
+ * different: the ioctl(fd, GPIO_REQUEST, <pin>) should be called
+ * after the open("/dev/gpio", O_RDWR) to determine if the <pin> is
+ * already in use. If the ioctl is successful (i.e. returns 0 for not
+ * in use) then the <pin> is claimed by this driver and
+ * ioctl(fd, GPIO_FREE, <pin>) should be called prior to close(fd) .
+ *
+ * See <kernel_source>/Documentation/gpio.txt
+ * Note that kernel designers prefer the use of the sysfs gpio interface.
+ * This char driver is easier to use from code and faster.
