You meant to be compatible with existing Cygnus devices, correct?

Just to clarify, here you suggest we still leave the existing hard coded 
ngpios in the driver, in order to be compatible with all existing Cygnus 
devices (while the Cygnus device tree changes to use ngpio is still 
being merged and through different maintainer), and have all new iProc 
SoCs switch to use ngpios from device tree, right?

Thanks,

Ray
