yes ,it is .
The description is wrong.

Because my description is wrong and there is a difference in 
understanding between us.
I think using for_each_set_bit() , but the __test_and_clear_bit() should 
not remove.

this a patch that only restores to original logic.the 
__test_and_clear_bit() clear mask
then get a new set_mask. this logic can affect functions of 
gpiod_set_raw_array_value ().

The effect of this patch is as follows:
gpiod_set_raw_array_value->
     gpiod_set_array_value_complex->
{
     ..
     if (array_info && array_info->desc == desc_array &&
         array_size <= array_info->size &&
         (void *)array_info == desc_array + array_info->size) {
         if (!can_sleep)
             WARN_ON(array_info->chip->can_sleep);

         if (!raw && !bitmap_empty(array_info->invert_mask, array_size))
             bitmap_xor(value_bitmap, value_bitmap,
                    array_info->invert_mask, array_size);

         gpio_chip_set_multiple(array_info->chip, array_info->set_mask,
                        value_bitmap);

         i = find_first_zero_bit(array_info->set_mask, array_size);
         if (i == array_size)
             return 0;
     } else {
         array_info = NULL;
     }

    -> while (i < array_size) {
         struct gpio_chip *gc = desc_array[i]->gdev->chip;
         DECLARE_BITMAP(fastpath_mask, FASTPATH_NGPIO);
         DECLARE_BITMAP(fastpath_bits, FASTPATH_NGPIO);
         unsigned long *mask, *bits;
         int count = 0;

          ..............
         if (count != 0)
             gpio_chip_set_multiple(gc, mask, bits);

         ..............
     }
     return 0;
}

Due to __test_and_clear_bit() clear array_info->set_mask,the i < 
array_size condition holds.
then calculate a new mask based on the GPIO number of the hardware.

I reconfirmed it,Although it works, it should not be modified in the place.
I think have a wrong of gpiod_get_array() and not 
bgpio_multiple_get_masks().

this is a new patch. can you take a look ?

Thank you.
