With this patch, we should now have complete support for every feature
available on this device. A nice milestone as well after first
introducing basic GPIO support for the ACCES 104-DIO-48E in 2016.

Given that there is also Intel 8255 support, it would be fun to route
back one of the device's GPIO outputs into the Intel 8254 timer gate and
hook up a simple speaker; we could get some nice beep generation going
and party like it's 1989! B-)
