I tend to disagree here.

I consider the bank defines RK_GPIOx to be deprecated and highly discourage 
them being used in new boards. They only encode the same number again (2 -> 
RK_GPIO2 etc) and therefore don't bring any useful addition over using the 
bank number directly.

Slightly similar argument for the per-pin defines. While the external pins are 
described in the A/B/C/Dx notation for pinmux purposes, the gpio controllers 
on top use a regular 0-31 numbering. Also you cannot name constants generic 
GPIO_x, simply because that may conflict with other overly generic constant 
names.

So I'm not yet convinced that these improve readability, but they would 
definitly need a RK_* prefix to make them specific.
