This is looking better and better! Thanks to everyone helping out
and thanks for your perseverance Florian!

Excellent idea.

But it seems you are not using this. You would be using
it if you used bgpio_init() but if I understand correctly this
driver cannot use that because this GPIO is something like
one register per pin, correct?

Let me suggest:

Make that a real member of this struct and not a pointer.
I.e. just remove the "*".

> +static struct apu_gpio_pdata *apu_gpio;

Why a static local? It seems you can just pass around
the pointer.

I would just:

#include <linux/bits.h>

val = ~ioread32(apu_gpio->addr[offset]);
spin_unlock();

return !!(val & BIT(APU_GPIO_BIT_DIR));

This clamps the value to [0,1] in a nice way.

return !!(val & BIT(APU_GPIO_BIT_RD));

Instead of passing NULL pas apu_gpio as the last argument and in
all callbacks you can use:

struct apu_gpio_pdata *apu_gpio = gpiochip_get_data(gc);

To get a pointer to the per-instance state container.
