Linus,

Those helpers look great for this usecase on the surface but however I think there could be some issues.
For GPIO direction it isn't configured by a bitmap on a register(s) but by a bit on a range of
registers (with a register for each GPIOx).

For set/get values the gpio helper would work though.
