Hi Wolfgang,

thank you for the patch!

Without having an AT91 available right now, I guess the hardware
interface of this GPIO chip is different from the GPIO block API. While
the hardware has clear and set registers, the val parameter of
at91_gpiolib_set_block() should be interpreted as the actual output
values. See lpc32xx_gpo_set_block() for an example for handling set and
clear registers like this: First, set_bits and clear_bits words are
calculated from mask and val parameters, and finally written to the
respective hardware registers.

Note that one .set_block() can result in writing both the set and clear
registers of the hardware when val contains both 0s and 1s in
respectively masked positions.
