Hi,

Of course. Just because Geode is the only x86 potential user of such an API
does not mean it should impose its design. Remember that this patch is part
of a serie to add support for the RDC R-321x SoC, which becomes another
x86-family user.
Looking at what Geode can do, and what RDC can do, I guess there are only few
functions that are generic, all the drain, multiplexing, direction things are
only available on the Geode board.
