the prepare is gpiolib specific, it will be a helper to conver a gpio list to
a gpio block list

I was thinking more

block = gpio_block_prepare(pins, size);

gpio_block_set_value(pin0, val);
gpio_block_set_value(pin1, val);
gpio_block_set_value(pin2, val);
gpio_block_set(block);

andfor get

gpio_block_get(block)
val = gpio_block_get_value(block, pin0);
val = gpio_block_get_value(block, pin1);

for the gpio driver ti's transparent
