NAND flash MTD subsystem and provides chip access and partition parsing like
any other NAND driving hardware.
+- ps2-gpio: drivers/input/serio/ps2-gpio.c is used to drive a PS/2 (IBM) serio
+ bus, data and clock line, by bit banging two GPIO lines. It will appear as

Apart from this there are special GPIO drivers in subsystems like MMC/SD to
read card detect and write protect GPIO lines, and in the TTY serial subsystem
to emulate MCTRL (modem control) signals CTS/RTS by using two GPIO lines. The
