cs5535: deprecate older cs5535_gpio driver 



The newer drivers/gpio/cs5535-gpio.c replaces drivers/misc/cs5535_gpio.c.
The new driver has been in the tree for a little while, and has received
some testing; it's time to mark the old one as deprecated.  I'm thinking
removal around 2.6.40 would be good, provided we're not missing critical
functionality in the newer driver.

What:	CS5535/CS5536 obsolete GPIO driver

When:	June 2011

Files:	drivers/staging/cs5535_gpio/*

Check:	drivers/staging/cs5535_gpio/cs5535_gpio.c

Why:	A newer driver replaces this; it is drivers/gpio/cs5535-gpio.c, and

	integrates with the Linux GPIO subsystem.  The old driver has been

	moved to staging, and will be removed altogether around 2.6.40.

	Please test the new driver, and ensure that the functionality you

	need and any bugfixes from the old driver are available in the new

	one.
