Thank you for your contribution. Should I add select GPIO_REGMAP into Kconfig?

Yes but that is not all, you also need to make use of the library helpers
provided in include/linux/gpio/regmap.h.

Find examples of other drivers doing this by e.g.:
git grep gpio_regmap_register

drivers/gpio/gpio-sl28cpld.c:   return
PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(devm_gpio_regmap_register(&pdev->dev, &config));
drivers/gpio/gpio-tn48m.c:      return
PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(devm_gpio_regmap_register(&pdev->dev, &config));
drivers/pinctrl/bcm/pinctrl-bcm63xx.c:  return
PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(devm_gpio_regmap_register(dev, &grc));

^Look what these are doing

This driver is doing two register writes/reads for setting the
direction, that's something which isn't supported in GPIO_REGMAP.
OTOH I'm not sure the driver is doing it correctly, because it also
seems to switch the pullup resisters together with the direction.
I'm not sure that is correct. So there might be just one register
involved after all and the GPIO_REGMAP should work again.

Also, according to the datasheet this has some nv memory (to set the
initial state of the GPIOs [?]). So it should really be a multi-function
device. I'm not sure if this has to be considered right from the
beginning or if the device support can start with GPIO only and later
be transitioned to a full featured MFD (probably with nvmem support).
