Hi Baruch,

additionally the my comments on Michael's patches in March 2017, some new below.

same as in the binding, i don't think this is specific to Broadcom.

This is too long. Please split up.

Please don't misuse the gpiochip base to communicate with the firmware. AFAIK the gc.base should be -1 (dynamic), so better use a define for the base.

Shouldn't we also check the in-bound status at get.gpio?
And in all the other gpio ops?

As said above this should be -1
