Adding GPIO maintainer Grant Likely to CC.

Maybe, it's better to write like this:

#define GPIOF_EXPORT			(1 << 2)
#define GPIOF_EXPORT_DIR_CHANGEABLE	(3 << 2)

So you don't need additional defines (GPIOF_EXPORT_DIR_FIXED and
GPIOF_EXPORT_DIR_CHANGEABLE). This will not brake your logic and improve
readability IMHO.
