I really like the ability to control GPIOs from shell, both interactively and
scripted. I find it useful for quick hardware level debugging, and for boot
time scripting (mainly in initramfs). Do you intend to preserve this
capability in the future? Will I need a special utility (or Busybox applet) to
do this with char device ioctl?
