Look quite similar but turns out the only potential generic ones which 
could be used are the bgpio_set() and bgpio_get() funtions. Using them 
would require custom pin2mask, write_reg, read_reg, etc functions.
bgpio_set_direction

I guess using gpio-generic code fits memory mapped devices better. 
Trying to use it for io port devices would require a lot of code mangling.
