Then the driver has to set GPIO_REGMAP_ADDR_ZERO or use the convenience
macro GPIO_REGMAP_ADDR.

So you can have

   struct gpio_regmap_config config = { 0 };
   config.reg_dat_base = 0x10;
   config.reg_dir_out_base = 0x20;

or

   config.reg_dat_base = GPIO_REGMAP_ADDR_ZERO;

or if you can't be sure if the RHS value might be zero:

   config.reg_dat_base = GPIO_REGMAP_ADDR(reg);

Thats bad because:
* you'd have to set plenty of unused base registers for a simple driver
  * if there will be additional properties in the future, you have to
touch
all other drivers, because they are initialized as 0 (ie. valid reg
0).

good catch.

> Also: why the limitation of only supporting one at a time?

they should be exclusive, either you have a register where you set the
output bits to one, or the input bits. Maybe this need a bit more
context
above. in gpio-mmio.c you can set both and both are used in
set_direction(), but only one is read in get_direction().

That being said, I have no strong opinion wether they should be
exclusive
or not, besides the symmetry of set_/get_direction().

Sorry for the late response, your comments make sense to me. Are you
going to submit a v4 before the v5.8 merge window?

I'm currently stuck with how to handle the MFD part. Ie. Rob doesn't
seem to like the logicial device numbering - or at least there wasn't
an answer to that one anymore, see patch 5/16.

If you like I could submit this patch on its own. But then there
wouldn't be a user for it.
