Hello,

I tried those suggestions, together with the patch you mentioned in the other email - all to no avail.
I added a debug print to confirm, that the property is detected, and regmap access is executed - and it is. This is so strange.
Maybe the offsets in regmap are still wrong, for some reason?
I also double checked if it was possible to alter and check GPIO states through GPIO subsystem - it is.
