I am happy to report that this gpio-regmap worked like a charm for me, 
after I applied the minor diff below (complete code at 
https://github.com/plbossart/sound/tree/fix/regmap-gpios).

I worked around my previous comments by forcing the GPIO internal 
routing directly in regmap, and that allowed me to only play with the 
_set and _dir bases. I see the LEDs and clock selected as before, quite 
nice indeed.

The chip->label test is probably wrong, since the gpio_chip structure is 
zeroed out if(!chip->label) is always true so the label is always set to 
the device name. I don't know what the intent was so just removed that 
test - maybe the correct test should be if (!config->label) ?

I added the names support as well, and btw I don't understand how one 
would get them through device tree?

I still have a series of odd warnings I didn't have before:

[  101.400263] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1129 at drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:4084 
gpiod_set_value+0x3f/0x50

This seems to come from
	/* Should be using gpiod_set_value_cansleep() */
	WARN_ON(desc->gdev->chip->can_sleep);

so maybe we need an option here as well? Or use a different function?

Anyways, that gpio-regmap does simplify my code a great deal so thanks 
for this work, much appreciated.
