The gpio framework is designed to work with toggling GPIO lines.
To deal with that, the cs5535 gpio driver (when toggling a GPIO line)
would set or clear CS5535_OUTPUT_VAL.  The cs5535 hardware, however,
can have a whole range of values set per a single GPIO line; amongst
these, positive and negative edge status.  Most users of the cs5535
GPIOs don't care about that, but those that do (like this SCI driver)
must use the custom cs5535 GPIO functions to set/clear it.
