It is worth considering whether it makes sense to somehow unify gpio,
iio, and the phc pin subsystems.  In my view, a big chunk of work
would be to have something like the "clock tree" for gpios and clock
lines.  This tree would describe the HW connectivity between (at
least) MAC/PHY clocks and IOs, gpio controllers, audio/video codecs,
and so on.

Also, there is that comedi thing in staging.  If it has a chance ever
to leave staging, then I think it would also benefit from integration
into gpio/iio world.

Thanks,
Richard
