Realistically, the only case that could happen would be
ATMEL_PIO_NPINS_PER_BANK == 32 and BITS_PER_LONG ==64. so I would go for
ATMEL_PIO_NPINS_PER_BANK < BITS_PER_LONG
OK I see.

This doesn't look good for multiplatform kernels.
I don't think we have multiplatform kernels that run both in 32 and 64
bits. I don't believe ATMEL_PIO_NPINS_PER_BANK will ever change, it has
been 32 on all the atmel SoCs since 2001.
So there is a bit missing from the commit message: the info that
the same driver is being used on 32 and 64 bit builds, and that is
the reason we allow compile-time ifdef things.

Can you add this to the commit message, or maybe
inline in the code, or both?

It confused me so it will confuse others.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
