Hi Linus,

Thanks for the review! Please see comments inline.

okay.

hmm.. I don't think this driver can use it. Please see the justification
below.

I need this for for_each_set_bit() macro.

So, I'd be happy to use gpio-mmio driver if applicable. In fact, I looked into
that while starting to write this driver since most of the `set*` APIs are
like dups. But one thing which blocked me was, `gpio_get` API.

As you can see in this driver, there are 2 separate registers needs to be
read in order to get the value. RDA_GPIO_VAL needs to be read when the pin
is in input state and RDA_GPIO_SET needs to be read when the pin is in output
state.

The MMIO driver relies on a single `dat` register to read the GPIO state and
this won't fit for this driver and hence my justification for not using it.

It is being called from multiple places, so I'd like to keep it as a normal
function.

Well, this routine sets the irq_type. But it has multiple usecase.
Like, it is being used to unmask as irq and also to set irq type.
So to be in a equillibrium state, I went for rda_gpio_set_irq().

Ah, a name change again... will do ;-)

no issues for me, will do.
