One final nitpick :-).

The magic numbers (0x20) in the gpio functions should probably be
#defined as register names. I'm guessing this is the input enable
register? Often people do helper functions for this, i.e:

static inline void gpio_write_reg(struct vt8500_gpio_chip *chip,
				  unsigned val, unsigned reg)
{
	writel(val, regbase + chip->regoff + reg);
}

Other than that, looks good.
