On next iteration please include Jamie Iles, Weike Chen and Sebastian
Andrzej Siewior.
They all provided substantial contributions to this driver.

The dwapb needs a proper maintainer in MAINTAINERS actually, it is one of
those that can't use GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP so it requires special attention.
Jamie, interested in the job? Patches welcome :)

Also I've been thinking about this:

#define GPIO_SWPORTA_DR         0x00
#define GPIO_SWPORTA_DDR        0x04
#define GPIO_SWPORTB_DR         0x0c
#define GPIO_SWPORTB_DDR        0x10
#define GPIO_SWPORTC_DR         0x18
#define GPIO_SWPORTC_DDR        0x1c
#define GPIO_SWPORTD_DR         0x24
#define GPIO_SWPORTD_DDR        0x28
#define GPIO_INTEN              0x30
#define GPIO_INTMASK            0x34
#define GPIO_INTTYPE_LEVEL      0x38
#define GPIO_INT_POLARITY       0x3c
#define GPIO_INTSTATUS          0x40
#define GPIO_PORTA_DEBOUNCE     0x48
#define GPIO_PORTA_EOI          0x4c
#define GPIO_EXT_PORTA          0x50
#define GPIO_EXT_PORTB          0x54
#define GPIO_EXT_PORTC          0x58
#define GPIO_EXT_PORTD          0x5c

I wonder what is at addresses 0x08, 0x14, 0x20, 0x2c, 0x44?

Anything interesting we should know about? I bet they are not just
dead address space.

Is there a public datasheet for this thing that I can look at?

Yours,
