Fair enough.  For GPIO, using the Linux GPIO driver as a back-end for 
the ASL means that we don't have to duplicate the Linux GPIO driver in 
firmware, and it also allows a high degree of flexibility.  That sounds 
like highly desirable features for any device support, including pin 
control.

I don't really understand ACPI/ASL enough to really have much insight in 
this area, but I've been waiting over six months for someone ... anyone 
... to do someone on this area.  So I'm kinda stuck -- I have a vested 
interested in this area, and yet I'm not in a position to contribute much.
