True.

I was not sure what those features are and how to connect the numbers to
the function, which is why I have restricted the values ​​of 0 and 1.

I am working on proposal from Stephen Boyd to encode GPIO/MPP mode and 
source select into combined function. Something like this one:

#define PM8XXX_DIGITAL_IN		0
#define PM8XXX_DIGITAL_OUT		1
#define PM8XXX_DIGITAL_IN_OUT		2

...

/* mode and source select */
#define PM8XXX_FUNCTION(m,s)		((m) << 16 | (s))

#define PM8921_GPIO1_14_KYPD_SNS	PM8XXX_FUNCTION(PM8XXX_DIGITAL_IN, 1)
#define PM8921_GPIO9_14_KYPD_DRV	PM8XXX_FUNCTION(PM8XXX_DIGITAL_OUT, 1)
#define PM8921_GPIO33_35_PWM		PM8XXX_FUNCTION(PM8XXX_DIGITAL_OUT, 3)

..

Yep, will fix it. Thank you for review.
