i dont know what you mean by "we".  GENERIC_GPIO means asm/gpio.h is
useful and so provides the basic gpio functions (which this driver
uses).  the driver, nor common gpio.h headers, pull in
asm-generic/gpio.h.

that is how the Blackfin arch works.  GENERIC_GPIO -> basic gpio
functions work fine as the on-chip gpio functions are supported.
