The Davinci GPIO driver is implemented to work with one monolithic Davinci GPIO platform device which may have up to Y(144) gpios. The Davinci GPIO driver instantiates number of GPIO chips with max 32 gpio pins per each during initialization and one IRQ domain. So, the current GPIO's opjects structure is: <platform device> Davinci GPIO controller |- <gpio0_chip0> ------| ... |--- irq_domain (hwirq [0..143]) |- <gpio0_chipN> ------| Current driver creates one chip for every 32 GPIOs in a controller. This was a limitation earlier now there is no need for that. Hence redesigning the driver to create one gpio chip for all the ngpio in the controller. |- <gpio0_chip0> ------|--- irq_domain (hwirq [0..143]).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
