Works for me. I will wait for a few days / week to have more reviews and likely testings to be collected. Would be nice if you be able to test on (some of) the hardware in the list of modified drivers.

But it could be also an u8 because you want it be exactly 8 bits as you want to be sure values up to 255 fit. thanks,

Maybe, but it is a replica of UAPI definitions, do we want to see it as a enum? To me it will be a bit ugly looking. > But it could be also an u8 because you want it be exactly 8 bits as you want > to be sure values up to 255 fit. Depends on what we assume UAPI does with those flags. It maybe even less than 8 bits, or great than, currently 8 bits is enough... TL;DR: I would rather take a patch from you and incorporate into the series than trying hard to invent a justification and proper type.

Okay, I want to send a new version, for now I leave the type change for the next time. It looks that quirks as well will benefit from type clarifying.

In some APIs we would like to assign the special value to iotype and compare against it in another places. Introduce UPIO_UNSET for this purpose. Note, we can't use 0, because it's a valid value for IO port access.
