Thanks for the patch, nice catch. One nitpick inline, though.

Can we, for consistency purposes, rename this function to
samsung_gpio_set_value() and keep the one that does locking as
samsung_gpio_set()?

This way we would match the gpio_chip op name (.set) and also have
both functions with the same name template (set_value and
set_direction) follow the same semantics of not doing any locking.

Also adding a comment above the new samsung_gpio_set_value() and
existing samsung_gpio_set_direction() that they have to be called with
bank->slock held would be helpful to avoid similar bugs in the future.

Best regards,
Tomasz
