I wish I could :-) This is the main wart in there to be honest.

consumer.h is needed to build gpiolib.h

gpiolib.h is needed for gpio_chip_hwgpio() which needs the definition
of gpio_desc, etc...

I didn't find a simple way out if it... the "API" I expose to the copro
driver takes a gpio_desc which is the clean thing to do but I can't get
to the underlying GPIO number without gpiolib.

Cheers,
Ben.
