No worries, I frequently misunderstand myself :) Thanks for taking the
time to respond, I appreciate it.

Hi,
I'm using the 3.0.3 kernel on an MPC8308 and have turned on GPIO support
(CONFIG_GPIOLIB = Y) because the SPI sub-system needed to use it for the
GPIO pin I'm using as a CS to a NvRAM part. I also have some jumpers on
the processor GPIO pins and I th
