I forgot one thing:

This is where I want you to assign to a member of struct
lp3943 another u16 mask which tells which lines are
actually available for GPIO, and you should also add code to
make sure that lines that are not available fail gpio_request().

This configuration can probably be read out from the device
tree if you add the compatible node to the MFD cell when
registering it.

Yours,
