As previously mentioned you should be submitting against current kernel
versions.  *Please* read and try to follow Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Looking through this it seems there's several issues here which have
been pointed out with previous versions of the patch.  Please do address
issues identified in review, either by discussing anything you disagree
with on the list or correcting the code.

What is this doing?  It looks awfully like this is implementing
interrupt handling - you should be using the genirq framework for this,
it provides standard interrupt handling for the kernel.

This appears to be some sort of system specific configuration - things
like this should be being configured by supplying platform data to the
device.

APIs like this should be added to the gpiolib core rather than done in a
driver custom manner - there were some previous efforts at this which
didn't get merged for whatever reason.  There's nothing particularly
device specific about the idea of setting multiple GPIOs in a single
operation.

The _ENABLE isn't idiomatic here...

All these constants and most of the remaining ones in the file need
namespacing.
