Ok added a bit more detailed information regarding the port blocks. But
I'd prefer to keep the link. First of all I can't provide the complete
description of the fields here because it would take too much space and
in fact is pointless since only a single port block with GPIOs is utilized.
So the link and the SDK info are a good reference to find some details
(especially due to lacking such an info in the chip datasheet). Secondly
even though the code is distributed under the Silicon Labs specific license
it is open-source. Finally the link may go away only if I removed the
application from my github account, which I don't intend to.

No, because this refers to all pins state when the chip being suspended
(whether the suspend_latch state is pushed to the pins at the suspend USB
state), while the rest of the macros are defined for the GPIOs alternative
functions. I'll add the MODE suffix though.

Ok. Replaced the union with u16 buffer.

Done. Though I can't remember this being requirement in the kernel
coding style. Could you give me a link to the corresponding statement?

Ok. Untangled all the ternary operations utilized in this function.

I wouldn't rename the macros'es, since they describe the functions of
enhanced_fxn bits. BTW CP2104 doesn't do any renaming anyway, while it
is doing the same thing as I am here. Instead I added a more descriptive
comment, so the code hackers would see the reason of the BITs copy-pasting.

Yes, and this code does the same thing as the loop in cp2104, but in a single
line. BTW the cp2104 cp2104_gpioconf_init() method can be simplified in the
same way.stash@{0}stash@{0}

Ok. Removed the macro from this function.

It should be also noted that in v2 I fixed a cp2108-related bug in the
cp210x_gpio_get()/cp210x_gpio_set() methods. So aside from the requested
alterations the logic of the cp2108 GPIOs setter/getter is bit different
now.
