The fix is a valid fix. And at the same time it exposes other potential 
issues in the driver. I just found the loop used in _set_strength and 
_get_strength is inconsistent:

In _set_strength:

427         for (i = GPIO_DRV_STRENGTH_BITS; i > 0; i--) {

For i to start at GPIO_DRV_STRENGTH_BITS, it seems to be wrong.

428                 val = readl(chip->io_ctrl + offset);
429                 val &= ~BIT(shift);
430                 val |= ((strength >> (i-1)) & 0x1) << shift;
431                 writel(val, chip->io_ctrl + offset);
432                 offset += 4;
433         }

In _get_strength:

451         for (i = (GPIO_DRV_STRENGTH_BITS - 1); i >= 0; i--) {
452                 val = readl(chip->io_ctrl + offset) & BIT(shift);
453                 val >>= shift;
454                 *strength += (val << i);
455                 offset += 4;
456         }

Reddy, could you please review and comment?

Thanks,

Ray
