As I was afraid in the cover letter, I found some mistakes already.
In any case, I'll wait for the comments and test of other patches if possible.

Out of curiosity, below I point out the issues.

Seems we have to use 64 instead of ngpio here.

Ditto.

...

Ditto.

Here should be used gpio actually and ngpio IIUC.
