Can the gpio_set_batch function be used to set non-consecutive gpios?
For example:

  gpio_set_batch(0, 0x0, 0x88, 8);

To clear gpios 3 and 7? It looks like the pxa implementation will
support this, but can it be guaranteed for other architectures? If so,
can we put an example in the documentation. If not, can we make it clear
that you shouldn't do this in the documentation. Also , in the latter
case is it necessary to pass the bitmask, since it will just be ((1 <<
bitwidth) - 1)?
