So, I've been looking into this again (finally), with an eye to stripping
the interrupt handling bits out, and trying to upstream this in pieces.
I dunno if I'm making a mistake here, but I don't know if there's much
value in implementing this suggestion - as far as I can tell only the
get()/set() functions can be replaced by what's provided by gpio-mmio.c.
There are no controller wide registers that control direction and so
bgpio_get_dir() can't be used - direction is read from the same
mpfs_gpio->base + MPFS_GPIO_CTRL(gpio_index) registers that it is set
using. Adding bgpio stuff, to just go ahead and overwrite it, to save on
trivial get()/set() implementations seems to me like adding complication
rather than removing it. What am I missing here?

Cheers,
Conor.
