That gpio controller supports both, some kind of hardware controlled
and pure software controlled mode. AFAIK the driver only supports
software controlled mode (yet?). In any case, our board
(arch/arm/boot/dts/lan966x-kontron-kswitch-d10-mmt.dtsi) is broken in
a way that we are forced to use the software controlled mode anyway.
Therefore, there is already such a board ;)
