I don't like "int gpio" here, please use "int offset".

This is not a global GPIO number, it is an offset in the local gpio_chip,
right?

(Obviously you are passing the offset.)

(..)

Why aren't you using the BIT() macro here too?

Further: if these functions are always used like this, with offset
and some BIT() or (1 << (offset % 8)) why don't you move that
latter part into the static helper and just pass offset into the
helper?
