Re: [Uclinux-dist-devel] Removing deprecated drivers from drivers/i2c/chips
the Blackfin defconfigs refer to an input driver for the PCF8574, not the I2C client driver Yup, I am aware of that.

Not sure about the patch to drivers/gpio/pcf857x.c, as there is no gpio tree and no maintainer either AFAIK, I guess I shall pick it too?
