Bug#788978: linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae: Enable CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS for x86 architectures

[Marcel Dischinger <mdspam@gmx.de>]

Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.68-1+deb7u1
Severity: wishlist

For easy access to GPIO pins, SYSFS is used in the Linux kernel. For most other architectures (e.g., arm, ppc), GPIO sysfs support is enabled in the Debian kernel, but not on x86 architectures.

Please enable this useful feature for x86 kernels.

I would appreciate this feature especially for the linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae kernel in Wheezy (e.g., together with the next security update), as I need to use exactly this kernel for a legacy project.

Thanks for considering this wish and keep up the good work.

Marcel
