Thank you for the suggestion. However, I am not sure that will work for
this SoC.

The GPIO registers are described in section 12 of JH7100 datasheet [1]
and I don't think they fit the expectation of gpio-mmio.c because there
is a seperate register for each GPIO line for output data value and
output enable.

There are 64 output data config registers which are 4 bytes wide. There
are 64 output enable config registers which are 4 bytes wide too. Output
data and output enable registers for a given GPIO pad are contiguous.
GPIO0_DOUT_CFG is 0x50 and GPIO0_DOEN_CFG is 0x54 while GPIO1_DOUT_CFG
is 0x58 and GPIO1_DOEN_CFG is 0x5C. The stride between GPIO pads is
effectively 8, which yields the formula: GPIOn_DOUT_CFG is 0x50+8n.
Similarly, GPIO0_DOEN_CFG is 0x54 and thus GPIOn_DOEN_CFG is 0x54+8n.

However, GPIO input data does use just one bit for each line. GPIODIN_0
at 0x48 covers GPIO[31:0] and GPIODIN_1 at 0x4c covers GPIO[63:32].

Thus the input could work with gpio-mmio but I am not sure how to
reconcile the register-per-gpio for the output value and output enable.

Is there way a way to adapt gpio-mmio for this situation?

Thanks,
Drew
