It's seems really odd that you're adding gpiolib stuff here when you've
also got a separate gpiolib driver.  Possibly this all shouldn't
actually be split up as much as it is - there's also the issue with the
gpiolib driver needing to peer into the interrupt controller.  It might
simplify the code if things were merged more.
I dont think merging code will help here. gpio lines and mpp lines are  
very different piece of hardware,they have a different register map and  
different config attributes. They do fall under the generic 'gpiolib'  
umbrella, but it seems clean to keep them separate.
Oh, so the MFPs are completely separate pins to the GPIOs controlled by
the GPIO driver?  That's unusual - might be worth clarifying that
somehow.
