Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 and SL-5600 use special companion Gate Array. Current drivers present in Linux kernel has some problems:
* It uses custom bus instead of platform bus/mfd core.
I believe Greg wouldn't see that as a positive point.

Don't think that the platform bus _should_ always be used. It shouldn't (Greg has said he'd like to see the platform bus to be totally killed off.) Instead, custom buses properly suited to the class of device in question is much preferred, especially if it aids in...
Greg, Russell, what should I use then for mfd multi-cell devices? Is mfd-core still a permitted API? Should we change mfd-core internals to spawn extra bus (busses?) for the cells?
I have no objection to the current mfd code, it's just a long-time grumbling on my part about the state of the platform interfaces. Not enough of an issue to make me actually do anything about it :)
thanks,
