Not really. The "CS3" register on the simpad device is a 16bit register
which hat 16 write-only pins and 8 independent read-only pins (no 
direction register, at all). It is implemented using 3 TTL logic chips.
More information about this strange stuff can be found at:

I'm not sure if handling such a corner-case in the generic driver makes
sense. However, i'm convinced that moving away from the simpad specific
API to the GPIO API and removing all the platform specific UART and
PCMCIA glue code by a generic GPIO one does make sense, in particular
as the FDT has a nice way to assign GPIO functions to other subsystems.

Thanks,
Jochen
