Right, but we do have interrupt level and status fuctions, registered as
callbacks to an extended gpiochip structure. These two functions can remain
static to the gpio.c file since we should perform interrupt status and level
initialisation at gpiochip init time. Not sure which code you based your work
on, but linux-queue tree at linux-mips.org has such code.

Sticking with the gpiolib has two advantages to me :
- you can use gpio_set_value/get_value for other
- GPIO initialisation should be done right after gpiochip registering
I would be rather in favor of adding the other missing callbacks to the
rb532_gpio_chip and make them look like the standard get/set functions. Just
like what was done with the interrupt level and status functions.
