I'm the maintainer for arch/arc.

For 3.10, we are going to have a sub-platform included which enables GPIO.
However given that your patch is still not in a maintainer tree I'm going to apply
the platform patch with GENERIC_GPIO and it would show up in -next as well. But
don't be alarmed - to align with your work, Christian or you can then possibly
apply a patch to make arch/arc/* confirm to your work - preferably via your
tree/patchseries  - OK ?
