Re: [MIPS] msp71xx: resolve compilation problem in msp_setup.c

Hi Patrick:

  I'm good with replacing the msp_setup patch that I had I submitted.

  Do you also have a patch to replace the plat_timer_setup function definition in msp_time.c?  If these two problems are resolved, the msp71xx_defconfig will finally compile.

Hi,
I have attempted to submit a new patch for msp71xx which enables gpio
access through the new gpio framework. Hopefully it should propogate
throught the list soon... if I have not messed up (It's my first patch
for linux-mips). Also we have a newer msp_setup that removes the gpio
calls altogether. I will cleanup our msp_setup.c file and create a new
patch that can replace this patch if that's ok with you.

Thanks,
Patrick Glass
