Thanks for patch. I was really willing to do it but you have been
faster.

Joey took some time to report and describe this bug.

You need a flag here to choose between gc->mask_cache and
ct->mask_cache.

You also need to check the flag here, to know if you need to switch
pmask_cache on ct->mask_cache.

Additionally, you need to update drivers/gpio/gpio-mvebu.c which use
gc->mask_cache. The gpio-mvebu driver is also impacted by the bug.
