Hi Hector,

thanks for your patch!

Please do not define a new ioctl for this: since of commit
e588bb1eae31be73fbec2b731be986a7c09635a4
"gpio: add new SET_CONFIG ioctl() to gpio chardev"
by Kent Gibson we have this:

/**
 * struct gpiohandle_config - Configuration for a GPIO handle request
 * @flags: updated flags for the requested GPIO lines, such as
 * GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_OUTPUT, GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_ACTIVE_LOW etc, OR:ed
 * together
 * @default_values: if the GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_OUTPUT is set in flags,
 * this specifies the default output value, should be 0 (low) or
 * 1 (high), anything else than 0 or 1 will be interpreted as 1 (high)
 * @padding: reserved for future use and should be zero filled
 */
struct gpiohandle_config {
        __u32 flags;
        __u8 default_values[GPIOHANDLES_MAX];
        __u32 padding[4]; /* padding for future use */
};

#define GPIOHANDLE_SET_CONFIG_IOCTL _IOWR(0xB4, 0x0a, struct gpiohandle_config)

Setting debounce is just another type of config, so please use Kent's
work as a base for this.

Yours,
