Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 04/14] GPIO: Add gpio-ingenic driver

Hi,

GPIO_GENERIC and bgpio_init() would work for my .set() / .get() 
callbacks,
not for my .direction_input() / .direction_output() callbacks which need
to set more than one register.

My .direction_input() and .direction_output() callbacks just call into
the pinctrl driver, using pinctrl_gpio_direction_[in,out]put().
I didn't find a way to get the direction info from the pinctrl driver,
is that something that the core should provide?

Thanks,
