I agree, when the code is mainlined at that time set_multiple() has some draw backs and hence
the check is added to take care of GPIO holes.

If I don't read it wrong, rcar GPIO supports some input enabling "en masse" during the probe. It seems to me the gpio_rcar_enable_inputs() does also need the valid GPIOs information - I suppose some of the GPIOs may have been masked in the device-tree, and those shouldn't be enabled.

It feels counter productive to hide the valid_mask - and do some device-tree parsing in the driver(s) which may need it.

I suppose we can still hide the valid_mask in struct gpio_device as suggested - but then we should probably create a getter for it in the gpiolib.

Or does someone see a way around needing the valid_mask in the gpio_rcar_enable_inputs() ?

Have a nice weekend!
