nit: blank line above the comment?

Thinking about this on systems that don't support egpio,
g->egpio_present will be 0, right? BIT(0) = 1, so I guess this is
equivalent to the code below on non-eGPIO systems:

  if (val & 1)
    val |= 1;

I guess that's not the end of the world (it's a noop) and I can't
think of anything better. In theory you could add a boolean
"egpio_used" or you could just assume egpio is used if "egpio_present"
!= "egpio_enable", but all of those seem like a waste. Maybe just
change the comment to something like:

/*
 * Check if egpio present and enable that feature. For SoCs that
 * don't support egpio `egpio_present` will equal `egpio_enable` (they
 * will both be zero) and the statement below will be a no-op.
 */

Another question I have is: don't we need a way to turn off
egpio_enable? Maybe this should be something like this:

if (val & BIT(g->egpio_present)) {
  if (i == gpio_func)
    val |= BIT(g->egpio_enable);
  else
    val &= ~BIT(g->egpio_enable);
}

...oh, but then you probably _do_ need to check if "egpio_present" !=
"egpio_enable" since the clearing of the bit won't be a no-op on
non-egpio SoCs.
