From a4177ee7f1a83eecb1d75e85d32664b023ef65e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jani Nikula Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:46:33 -0700 Subject: gpiolib: allow exported GPIO nodes to be named using sysfs links Commit 926b663ce8215ba448960e1ff6e58b67a2c3b99b (gpiolib: allow GPIOs to be named) already provides naming on the chip level. This patch provides more flexibility by allowing multiple names where ever in sysfs on a per GPIO basis.
