Overall this is a beautiful driver and it makes use of all the generic
frameworks I can think of. I don't see any reason not to merge
it so:

The following is some notes and nitpicks, nothing blocking any
merge, more like discussion.

I suppose this looks like this because more flags will be introduced
when you add more functionality to the driver. Otherwise it seems
like overkill so a bool would suffice.

I would add a comment /* TODO: this will be expanded */

I would explain a bit about this, obviouslt it is two bit per
line, but it took me some time to parse, so a comment
about the bit layout would be nice.

Here that number appears again.

The use of GPIO_GENERIC and GPIO irqchip is flawless
and first class.

Thanks!
