Hi, Jerome
the ee gpio, pull and pull-en register regions are discontinuous, some 
addresses are reserved between them and maybe used for other module. For 
example [G12A]:
range of gpio register address offset:    (0x010 << 2) - (0x022 << 2)
range of pull register address offset:    (0x03a << 2) - (0x03f << 2)
range of pull-en register address offset: (0x048 << 2) - (0x04d << 2)

keeping the multiple register regions seems to be more flexible and 
friendly for Meson Series SoCs at present.
