Thank you for the suggestion.  I am not familiar with GPIO_REGMAP and
REGMAP_IRQ so I will read about it.  Is the advantage is that is helps
to reduce code duplication by using an abstraction?

I did notice that the gpio-sifive.c driver used regmap_update_bits() and
regmap_write().

I suppose that is better than writel_relaxed() and iowrite32() which
this RFC driver does?

thanks,
drew
