No, GPIO support on CPM1/CPM2 is new in 2.6.27. Before, dedicated platform drivers were needed to drive hardware connected to an GPIO pin. > That's not to say that it's necessarily critical enough this late in the > process, but in general I'm not very comfortable with not being able to > fix newly added code as soon as the merge window closes because it's not > a "regression". If i understood Linus correctly, this fix will have to wait for 2.6.28, but then it can also enter the 2.6.27 stable series (like 2.6.27.1).
