We noticed in the original code that this set_multiple callback does not
appear to work correctly on systems where BITS_PER_LONG == 32. On those
systems, the bits and mask values are 32-bit, but the for loop jumps 64
bits at a time -- that means the loop is skipping the upper 32 gpio
lines of every iteration.

Is the gpio-thunderx driver only intended for 64-bit systems? Or this
behavior a bug?
