That driver should work on almost any architecture/platform/hardware which supports gpios and is small enough to be a good test candidate. Having had a short look at gpio-keys.c, I think the same problems as with omap_hsmmc would have been occured when someone had tried to use that driver with 3.11-rc2.

I wonder how you do know that no board with OMAP chips does use gpio-keys?

Does TI restrict their users/customers to only certified drivers? ;)

Line-wrapping mail readers do exist since some decades and I believe 
people should be able to read e-mails with whatever line width they 
prefer (and NOT what I prefer). So I never will hard-limit mails to some 
specific line width on my side (besides from patch). That's just a very 
bad behaviour.
