Subject: [PATCH] ARM: gta02: Add vibrator support

Hi!

Maybe vibrator device will be needed after all?

1) it is getting very common

2) timed-gpio model makes more sense for vibrators -- send 200msec
pulse

3) normal triggers make little sense. 'vibrate when battery charges'
is cool hack, but

4) can vibrator motor survive running 24/7 ?

5) it is really force feedback; we have input handling for that. Is it
unusable?
