 | 19 | 	  Say Y here to add some extra checks and diagnostics to GPIO calls. | 
 | 20 | 	  The checks help ensure that GPIOs have been properly initialized | 
 | 21 | 	  before they are used and that sleeping calls aren not made from | 
 | 22 | 	  nonsleeping contexts.  They can make bitbanged serial protocols | 
 | 23 | 	  slower.  The diagnostics help catch the type of setup errors | 
 | 24 | 	  that are most common when setting up new platforms or boards. |

 | 34 | 	  Say yes here to provide access to most "quasi-bidirectional" I2C | 
 | 35 | 	  GPIO expanders used for additional digital outputs or inputs. | 
 | 36 | 	  Most of these parts are from NXP, though TI is a second source for | 
 | 37 | 	  some of them.  Compatible models include: | 
 | 38 |  | 
 | 39 | 	  8 bits:   pcf8574, pcf8574a, pca8574, pca8574a, | 
 | 40 | 	            pca9670, pca9672, pca9674, pca9674a | 
 | 41 |  | 
 | 42 | 	  16 bits:  pcf8575, pcf8575c, pca8575, | 
 | 43 | 	            pca9671, pca9673, pca9675 | 
 | 44 |  | 
 | 45 | 	  Your board setup code will need to declare the expanders in | 
 | 46 | 	  use, and assign numbers to the GPIOs they expose.  Those GPIOs | 
 | 47 | 	  can then be used from drivers and other kernel code, just like | 
 | 48 | 	  other GPIOs, but only accessible from task contexts. | 
 | 49 |  | 
 | 50 | 	  This driver provides an in-kernel interface to those GPIOs using | 
 | 51 | 	  platform-neutral GPIO calls. |
