Aha so that's what it means!

Yeah play around with it and see what you can come up with.

Perhaps you need to override the input/output enable
callbacks with local versions rather than the gpio-mmio
ones to set all bits. (This is possible to do after
bgpio_init() but before adding the gpio_chip if necessary.)
