I don't see the point of these special readl/writel accessors. Just
use readl/writel
directly. Or consider readl/writel_relaxed() if MIPS has this.

Magic mask? Some comment on what is happening here when OR:in
on 0x10000?

These flags are not for the driver API.

Do this:

return !gpio_readl(bank, GPIO_OUTPUT_EN) & BIT(offset));

Hm we should clamp value in the core and make the parameter "value"
a bool.... sigh for another day when things are calm.

Don't call it virq, just call it irq. All Linux irq numbers are virtual
so just go with irq.

So why not instead specify "simple-bus" as compatible on the parent node
and have each subnode be its own device (simple-bus will spawn platform
devices for all subnodes).

Overall this composite-device pattern is discouraged if we can instead have
unique devices for each bank.

Apart from these things the driver looks very nice!
