gpio_get() and gpio_set() are used extensively by some GPIO based
drivers like SPI, NAND, so it may be worth it as it doesn't impair
readability (if anyone prefers, we could write  (1 << 31) >> i  instead
of  0x80000000 >> i )
1 << 31 is undefined behaviour, of course.
Shall it be 1U << 31 ?
Sure, that works.  "1 << (31 - i)" is most readable (but it doesn't yet
generate the code you want).
Euh .... I'm a bit lost. Do you mean the form we have today is the 
driver is wrong ?
Heh, yes.  But is't okay with GCC, so don't worry about it.

The point is that "0x80000000 >> i" is less readable.
