Hello Jaya,

I would swap the order to have:

	generic
	am300epd
	pxa specific

This way the tree of the second commit is a test case for the generic
implementation.

Nevertheless I would document the "generic" per arch specific
implementation in gpio.txt.  For the functions like __gpio_get_value you
can just do

	#define gpio_get_value(gpio) __gpio_get_value(gpio)

but for your batch functions you need something like

	#define gpio_set_batch(startpin, mask, values) \
		({ u32 __mask = mask; __gpio_set_batch(startpin, __mask, fls(__mask), values);})

Maybe better use/recommend an inline function?
