gpio2regs is written making an assumption that driver supports only
one instance of gpio controller. Removing this and adding a generic
array so as to support multiple instances of gpio controllers.

-               regs = gpio2regs(base);
+               regs = gpio_base + offset_array[i];

I understand this.

-       struct davinci_gpio_regs __iomem *g = gpio2regs(hw);
+       struct davinci_gpio_controller *chips =
+                               (struct davinci_gpio_controller *)d->host_data;
+       struct davinci_gpio_regs __iomem *g = chips[hw / 32].regs;

And this, if each instans has 32 GPIOs.

-               g = gpio2regs(0);
+               g = chips[0].regs;

Also makes sense.

-               g = gpio2regs(gpio);
+               g = chips[bank / 2].regs;

But what is this? I don't understand that /2 at all. Please insert a
comment explaining it so I can figure it out. Are there two banks
per instance?

Yes! There are register sets for 32 GPIOs. 2 banks of 16 GPIOs are covered by each set of registers hence /2. Shall i add a comment and send this patch alone separately?



Yours,
