Greetings Andy,

Thank you for those links, I have observed the gpio_regmap code
they have implemented in that case. It appears that the regmap
code is opening the entire range of memory to be read. For my
particular purpose I am not wanting to expose all the 0-0xff byte
range of the GPIOs. In my case is it still necessary to use the
gpio_regmap code?

If gpio_regmap is required, how do I create a direct correlation
between a specific gpio-line and a register offset? For example, in
gpio-gxp-pl.c. Gpio-line at offset 0 (IOPLED) is at register 0x04. The
gpio-line at offset 8 (FAN_INST) is at register 0x27. 

Additionally, is it required to remove gpio_chip if gpio_regmap is
used?

Thank you for the assistance,

-Nick Hawkins
