Paging Hartley who I think uses this chip.

Yeah when I converted this gpio driver I did not have access to a hardware
which made use of port F :(

I used the SIM.One board but they all died on me, then I acquired another
EP93xx board that I just didn't have time to test.

The long term plan is to convert these boards to use device tree and
multiplatform. Interested in the job? ;)

Thanks for fixing up the GPIO chip, let's get the patches in shape and
merge as fixes. Bartosz is handling the fixes right now, I'll try to review too!

Yours,
