I acked your code, and i didn't really bother to look what you actually 
were doing. The old register accesses don't invite one to look over 
them. You were no blinder than i was.

Smashing. New patch deletes your function, slightly alters the aruma one 
and renames it to w83627hf_gpio24_raise.

Yeah. I wouldn't have a single hair on my head left if i hadn't done 
this very early on for vga io in my unichrome driver :)

Don't apologise. You saw this through to the end. Also, the code is 
cleaner, and we have what currently seems the best solution in place.
The result is there, that's what counts.

New patch will be sent in shortly.
