I just noticed this:

Add:
select GPIO_GENERIC

Then all of these:

Can be implemented by the genric MMIO GPIO library.

Initialized the generic helpers using the addresses of the
GPIO registers here by a call to bgpio_init().

Check this driver for an example:
drivers/gpio/gpio-ftgpio010.c

If you get uncertain about the arguments to bgpio_init()
check drivers/gpio/gpio-mmio.c, there is kerneldoc for the
function.

By doing this you get implementations of gpio_[get|set]_multiple()
for free.
