and also GPIOLIB ... maybe can you just "select GPIOLIB".

Unless this hardware misbehaves when both output and input
modes are enabled (e.g. in the window between those two calls),
I'd suggest just not clearing INPUT_ENABLE.  It's legit to
ask for the *actual* value of an output line, e.g. for when
it uses open drain mode.  (And didn't this hardware have an
option for open drain GPIO signaling?)


Otherwise this has about the right shape for platform GPIOs.
