This driver looks very one-bit-per-gpio typed. Are you sure you cannot
just reuse drivers/gpio/gpio-generic.c? Make a compelling case please...

Why are all these members int? They should be u8 from reading your code.

What on earth are all those magic numbers?

I *guess* they're enabling some default GPIO settings etc.

But it really needs better structure, #defines for each one or
atleast include <linux/bitops.h> and say:

= BIT(4) | /* Enable GPIO pin 5 on this bank */
   BIT(5); /* Enable GPIO pin 6 on this bank */

However I suspect this is board specific and should
be taken from device tree. Please elaborate on this...

Ditto for the different instances.

Looks like all of these should be u8.

val = (u8) readl(...);

Use <linux/bitops.h>

val |= BIT(offset);

Apart from these remarks it's looking good...
