sound good.

It would be nice if there were an abstraction layer for various GPIO
access methods, rather than hard-coding linux, even if there is only one
implementation of the abstraction.  I'm not that clear on GPIO, but I
gather there are differences.  Or maybe there is already a portable GPIO
abstraction library?

I see nutdrv- when used as a driver name to be conent-free.
