Subject: Re: [PATCH] gpio/sifive: fix static checker warning

Because SiFive FU540 GPIO Registers are aligned 32-bit,
I think that irq_state is good "unsigned int" than "unsigned long".

I refer to SiFive FU540-C000 Manual v1p0 (GPIO Register Table 103)
as "Only naturally aligned 32-bit memory accesses are supported"

when you use assign_bit(offset, &chip->irq_state, 1),
offset is 32-bit.

I prefer to use bit operation instead of assign_bit().

u32 bit = BIT(offset);
chip->irq_state |= bit;

If you use this code, you do not use the assign_bit() and
need not change irq_state data type.

There are many improvements in my works for drivers/gpio/gpio-sifive.c.
I hope to check my attached source file.
