3.5 kernel does this for you.

3.5 kernel does this for you.

Can you make it conditional on /sys/class/gpio/gpio145 existing?  (yes, I
gave a different patch.  I have heard it said that you shouldn't hard-code
paths through /sys/devices as they might change.  But then I've also heard it
said that /sys/class is going away, along with /sys/bus, to be replaced
by /sys/subsystem.  I suspect they stay, at least as symlinks, for a very
long time though).

So if the directory exist, do your magic.  If it doesn't, don't?
