From 9dfac4fd7f8cdcdf734dff2ccc7ca467f53f1cfd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Walleij Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2012 18:02:47 +0100 Subject: pinctrl: delete raw device pointers in pinmux maps After discussion with Mark Brown in an unrelated thread about ADC lookups, it came to my knowledge that the ability to pass a struct device * in the regulator consumers is just a historical artifact, and not really recommended. Since there are no in-kernel users of these pointers, we just kill them right now, before someone starts to use them.
