PS, please add these optional features:

Any chance you could send a patch to add a .get_direction() callback?

This is really useful for debugfs and the userspace ABI and I started
to add it to drivers all over the place.

Also you have this:

#define MAX77620_CNFG_GPIO_DRV_MASK             BIT(0)
#define MAX77620_CNFG_GPIO_DRV_PUSHPULL         BIT(0)
#define MAX77620_CNFG_GPIO_DRV_OPENDRAIN        0

So it seems possible to add .set_single_ended() to this driver
as well so it supports native open drain. Please consider this!

I am possibly adding .get_single_ended() to the API this next
kernel cycle as well, but that is for later.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
