Right, use 1 bool to save 1 bit ;-)

I think you misunderstood.
The patch has one gpio_rcar_bank_info for each GPIO.
Each bank has 7 bits (bools), one for each register.
Indexing is done through bank_info[<gpio>].<reg>.
Saving/restoring bits requires converting from hardware register layout to
stored layout ("transposing a 32 x 7 matrix to a 7 x 32 matrix").

I proposed 7 u32s, one for each register, storing the similar bits for all
32 GPIOs.
So indexing is reversed, becoming regs[<reg>] & BIT(<gpio>), which is
similar to how the data is stored in hardware registers.
Storing all bits related to a single register in a single u32 may allow to
save/restore all bits of the register in a single operation.
