Comment(by pgf):

 Replying to [comment:2 dsd]:

 > (I know I said that yesterday that this approach doesn't work, well I
 was storing the gpio_get_value() result in a u8 based on some other code I
 saw, but in this case, 0x4000 is returned when the DCON is unfrozen. Sorry
 for that distraction...)

 that behavior is a bug in the pxa gpio code.  Documentation/gpio.txt is
 pretty clear that the return is 0 or 1, and that "The values are boolean,
 zero for low, nonzero for high."

 i noticed this behavior some time ago and verified that other gpio
 implementations get it right, but forgot about it.   sorry.
