This is still a very nice driver.

If you are working on supplemental patches: from the next merge window
we will have:

+ int gpiod_get_array_value_cansleep(unsigned int array_size,
+                                          struct gpio_desc **desc_array,
+                                          int *value_array);

See:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio.git/commit/?h=devel&id=eec1d566cdf94b57e8f5ba9fe60eea214929bcfc

If your GPIO controller also has .get_multiple() implemented it just
becomes one register read if you're lucky.

BTW do you have a way upstream for this patch? ARM SoC?
