Right, but Linus said we didn't need this conversion to descriptors so I'm a bit confused as to what the issue he was raising was.
Now I'm probably confusing myself...
All drivers should as far as possible use descriptors internally, doing things like gpio_to_desc() only for backward-compatibility where necessary, with the intent of eventually ridding the integer interfaces entirely.
It may be an eternal project, but hey, we are atleast two of us pursuing it.
OK, so in that case Russell's code should be fine then and we don't need to do anything - great!
