Hi Russell,

Add a simple, generic, single register fixed-direction GPIO driver.
This is able to support a single register where a fixed number of
bits are used for input and a fixed number of bits used for output.

Say yes here to support GPIO on Renesas R-Car SoCs.
+config GPIO_REG
+ bool
So I suppose it is on purpose you forbid it to be a module. Is there a way to
write either in the commit message or in the Kconfig this purpose, so that
nobody on "purpose" changes this bool to tristate ?

+ A 32-bit single register GPIO fixed in/out implementation. This
+ can be used to represent any register as a set of GPIO signals.
Another question I was asking myself was how it differenciated itself from
gpio-mmio, ie. what brought the need for this driver that isn't available with
gpio-mmio ?
I seem to understand that this is mainly for platform code, hence the "builtin
only" necessity, and if I'm right a part of your cover letter could very well
fit within this patch's commit message.

Shouldn't this be :
r->out = (r->out & ~*mask) | (*bits & *mask);

Maybe this one would deserve a doxygen comment ?
Cheers.
