I've just built the latest trunk for ixp4xx on an Avila 2345 and enabled the gpio settings and included the gpioctl package. Everything builds fine and flashes great, but the user land /dev/gpio is not being created. This was working fine in 2.6.23 but appears to be broken now? Is it just me or can someone else verify this?

IMHO you need
CONFIG_NEW_GPIO=y
CONFIG_GPIO_DEVICE=yin your kernel .config file (under trunk/build_dir/linux*/linux-*/)
If there are not there, run
make kernel_menuconfigand enable Device Drivers / GPIO Support / GPIO device support.
AFAIK the changes by the above make only last until the next make clean is executed.
The discussion might have continued from here.
